Adobo sauce is a sauce or marinade used in Latin American and Southwestern U.S.-style cooking, made of finely chopped or pureed chiles, garlic, vinegar, and often onions and tomatoes.

Ingredients

12 chipotle peppers or smoked, dried jalapeño peppers (most co-ops can get these for you, or try the specialty produce section of your grocery store)
4 cups (0.95 L) water
½ cup (120 ml) onion, diced
⅓ cup (80 ml) apple cider vinegar
¼ cup (60 ml) ketchup
3 cloves garlic, crushed or sliced
1 pinch of cumin, oregano
Salt to taste

Steps

Combine all ingredients in a heavy saucepan. Cook over a very low heat for 1–2 hours until the chiles are very soft and the liquid has been reduced to about 1 cup. Alternatively, cook in a slow cooker overnight.
Beat with a mortar and pestle, or put in blender to puree for a thick sauce.
