Chipotle Barbecue Sauce Recipe
This chipotle barbecue sauce recipe has got to be one of my favorites, there’s something special about it. It’s a good all rounder, especially if you like some heat, with sweetness, savoury, tangy-ness and a smoky note running through it.Chipotle chillies are ripened red Jalapeno chillies, which are then dry smoked. They can be bought either in dried form or canned in adobo sauce. Also Tabasco make their own version Chipotle Pepper Sauce , if you need a substitute. You could smoke them yourself, but it’s a long process. Up to 48 hours of cold smoking with fruit wood, pecan, or hickory wood – they are dried, not cooked. Personally I'd love to try this out, but family life doesn't permit the time!
Ingredients
2 cans of chopped tomatoes, with juices.1 or 2 tsp salt. 2 tsp freshly ground pepper. 1/4 cup brown sugar. 1 cup cider vinegar. 2 chipotle chillies, chopped (or 2 tbsp Tabasco Chipotle Pepper Sauce ). 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce. 2 cloves garlic, crushed. 1 tbsp oil.
Method
Heat oil in a sauce pan; add the garlic and sauté until soft. Add all the remaining ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes, until the sauce thickens and has the consistency of ketchup. Serve with burgers, chicken, pork, ribs, brisket – it goes well with any meat pretty much!
