CHIPOTLE SALSA NEGRA (DARK CHIPOTLE SALSA)



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!

Provided by KlynnPadilla

Categories     Sauces

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.

SALSA NEGRA



Salsa Negra image

This is a distinctive sauce with a deep sweet-smoky flavor that matches its almost black color.The striking, almost burnt, flavor is achieved by deep frying dried chipotles ,before soaking them in a brown sugar bath, and then simmering the sauce to perfection.The final searing and simmering of the sauce is essential to achieving a deep and well balanced flavor and should not be skipped.This recipe uses chiles moritas-small chipotles that are wrinkled and blackish(the type you usually find pickled in adobo),not the small tan colored chipotles.You absolutely cannot sub canned chipotles in this recipe.This recipe is originally from a Rick Bayless cookbook(that's why its so good!).

  • Pour oil in a pan to a depth of 1/4 inch and heat over medium.Remove the stems from the chiles and discard.Add about half of the chiles to the hot oil and fry,stirring constantly,for 2 minutes.They should smell toasty.
  • Remove the chiles with a slotted spoon and place in the pot of hot sugar water.
  • Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the remaining chiles.
  • Pour off the oil and discard.In the same pan fry the whole peeled garlic cloves in the thin film of oil that remains.Cook for 4 minutes,stirring occasionally, allowing the garlic to become golden but not burn.
  • Puree the chiles and garlic with all of the sugar water until smooth.Strain to remove hard seeds and tough bits of skin.
  • Heat the pan over medium high ;you may not need to add oil if there is enough in the pan leftover.When the pan is hot add the chile puree(it should sizzle and sputter )and stir constantly for 1 minute.Lower the heat to medium low and continue cooking for 20 minutes,stirring often.After 20 minutes the sauce should be very thick(like tomato paste) and have a dark shiny burgundy-black color.

ROASTED TOMATO -CHIPOTLE SALSA



Roasted Tomato -Chipotle Salsa image

I have this similar recipe adapted from Uncle Julio's reastaurant in Allen, TX (North Dallas area), and hope you like it.

Provided by pink cook

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 50m

Yield 2 cups, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 large tomatoes
1 medium onion
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons cayenne powder
1 chipotle pepper
1 tablespoon adobo sauce, from the chipotles
1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 garlic cloves
salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350ºF. Cut tomatoes and onion into quarters, place on a baking sheet and drizzle with vegetable oil. Then sprinkle with the chili & cayenne powder. Bake in oven for about 40 minutes.
  • About halfway through, flip the vegetables over. Check in occasionally to make sure the vegetables are not drying out. There will be extra oil on the sheet, so you can use tongs or a spatula to move them around & redistribute the oil. They are done when soft and the skin is blistery and slightly brown.
  • Remove the stems and seeds from the chipotles. Place all the prepared vegetables and the chipotles in a blender along with the garlic cloves, cilantro and squeeze lime juice into the blender and blend well.
  • NOTE: For chunkier salsa, just pulse the blender button only for a few seconds. For smoother textured salsa, process to your desired consistency. Salt to taste.
  • You can also add another chipotle pepper and adobo sauce to make it more spicy and enhance the smoky flavor to your own taste. Allow the salsa to chill for a couple of hours. Serve with white or blue corn tortilla chips. Mmmmm -- good.
