Chipotle Salsa Negra (Dark Chipotle Salsa) image

This recipe comes from a Saveur special issue in 2005. I'm going to post a series of recipes from this publication for safekeeping. Chipotles are my favorite chile, so this one sounds good!

Time 35m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 ounces dried chipotle chiles (mora)
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
12 garlic cloves, peeled
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse chiles.
  • Heat half of the oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add chiles and garlic and cook, stirring, about 5 minutes (chiles will be puffed and garlic browned). Set garlic aside.
  • Transfer chiles to a bowl and cover with hot water. Let soak until soft (about 15 minutes). Drain and remove stems, seeds and veins.
  • Purée chiles, garlic and 2 cups water (I use the chile-soaking water).
  • Heat the other 3 tablespoons of oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the pureed salsa and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt.

I've tried this salsa with different types of chips and it's always delicious. It's also great on tacos and burritos.

This salsa is a bit too spicy for me, but it's still really good. I just add a little less chipotle pepper.

This salsa is amazing! It's got a great smoky flavor from the chipotles and a nice kick of heat. I love it on tacos, burritos, and enchiladas.
