Chipotle Puree image

Chipotles are jalapeno chiles that have been slowly dried over smoke. This puree gives an authentic mexican flavour to many dishes. Use the substitute if you can as it's just as good. From the Fresh Mex cookbook.

The puree lacked depth and flavor. I had to add some additional spices to make it more palatable.

I found the puree to be a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use fewer chipotle peppers.

I substituted canned chipotle peppers for the dried ones, and the puree still turned out great. Will definitely make this again!

The puree had a wonderful smoky depth. I especially enjoyed the hint of sweetness from the adobo sauce.

This chipotle puree recipe was an absolute hit! The blend of smoky, spicy, and tangy flavors was perfectly balanced. I used it as a marinade for chicken, and it turned out incredibly tender and flavorful.
