 Recipe By: Annie Somerville in "Fields of Greens"


 


 "Chipotles are jalapeo chilies [sic] that have been smoked and dried Q a


 favorite Greens seasoning. Their smoky heat is delicious brushed over


 tortillas and pizzas and carefully added to soups and stews.  Chipotles can


 be found in Mexican specialty stores, as whole dried chilies or in small


 cans. We use canned chipotles packed in adobo sauce Q a puree of smoked


 jalapeos and vinegar, though the chilies are so fiery hot that you'd hardly


 know the vinegar was there. Take care in handling chipotles, remembering


 that a little of this smoky chili puree will go a long way. Puree a whole


 can at a time in the blender or food processor and store in the


 refrigerator until needed. The puree will keep almost indefinitely; if you


 know you'll be storing it for a long period of time, cover the puree with
a


 thin layer of oil."


 


 Curtis sez: To give you some idea of how long this lasts in the fridge


 *without* oil, I pureed two cans but didn't use it fast enough, and it took


 over 4 months to begin to mold. I would recommend that even avid chipotle


 fans puree only one can to begin with, as a little truly does go a long


 way.
