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.

This salsa is a great way to use up leftover tortillas. I always have a few on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up.

I was skeptical about using burnt tortillas, but they really do add a unique flavor to the salsa.
