Adobo Sauce - 2
Ingredients:
12 ancho chilies -- wiped clean
1/2 cup white vinegar
2 cups water
1/4 cup olive oil
2 medium onions -- thinly sliced
5 garlic cloves -- sliced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
4 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon black pepper -- freshly ground
Instructions:
Toast the chilies directly over a medium gas flame or in a cast-iron
skillet until soft and brown, turning frequently to avoid scorching.
Transfer the toasted chilies to a saucepan and add the vinegar and
water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook 10 minutes to
soften. Transfer the chilies and liquid to a blender or food processor.
Puree until a smooth paste is formed, adding a tablespoon or 2 of
water if necessary to thin. Set aside. Heat the olive oil in a medium
saucepan over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions until golden brown,
8-10 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook briefly just to release
the aroma. Next, stir in the cumin and cook another minute. Add the
chicken stock and reserved chile paste. Bring to a boil, reduce to
a simmer and cook 20 minutes. Meanwhile, mix together the brown sugar,
orange and lemon juices, tomato paste, salt and pepper to form a paste.
Add to the simmering stock mixture and continue cooking another 15
minutes. NOTE: Adobe Sauce can be stored in the refrigerator 1 week
or frozen indefinitely. Makes 1 1/2 quarts. SOURCE: "Mesa Mexicana"
