How To Make Chipotle Puree
Chipotle puree is literally smokey, spicy goodness right out of a tin, into your food processor, and ready to use. It's an amazing ingredient that takes almost any dish to the next level. You can add it to vegan mayo, salsa, chili, tacos, beans, and more!
Ingredients
- 1 can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (any size can )
Instructions
- Add the chipotle peppers with sauce to a food processor and puree until smooth. You can also use an immersion blender.
- Pour the pureed peppers into a fine mesh sieve that has a bowl sitting underneath. Now, strain the sauce through the sieve by using a rubber spatula to stir the pureed peppers around while applying a little pressure. When you are done you will be left with just the seeds in the stainer.
- Add the chipotle puree to season vegan mayo, salsa, chili, tacos, beans, and more. Or better yet try my recipe for Vegan Nacho Cheese Sauce, which use this puree to take it to the next level.
Notes
*I strain the seeds to control the spice. If you leave the seeds it will be very spicy and not as pleasant to eat both heat and texture wise.
*Any size can of chipotle peppers will do.
