what the fuck am i gonna do with the rest of this can of peppers??
learning opportunity: if a recipe calls for “1/2 a teaspoon of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce”
throw the whole can in, chopped
This is a “two cloves of garlic” moment.
Dice them and then freeze them. And then anytime you need some spice in something chip a block off and toss it in. It’s good. I do this all the time and it’s surprising the amount of shit I have improved because I thought thought “wonder how this would be with some adobo in there” and had some in the freezer on hand.
Call Stalin and tell him to bring his big spoon
good post!
Put some on a bagel with
CW: not vegan
cream cheese
for a snack
Put the rest in there, coward
Freeze them?
yeah that’s a good call! mince them up and freeze them and then thaw as needed when cooking something.
Yep, I do this with these, tomato paste, and other things in a can all the time.
As far as recipe suggestions, you could do a red chilaquiles with them in it. Makes a nice weekend breakfast or lunch if you top them with something like a tofu scramble or whatever you like to eat with breakfast.
I made a mango-chipotle sorbet with a can of chipotle in adobo, some frozen mango chunks, and a blender. I don’t have proportions because i fucked that up.
cw: meat
i’m fine with stuff that involves meat but please spoiler it for our vegan comrades
Dice or muddle, add to beans, consume
Put it in food. Its like a 4/10 spice level and really nice smokey flavor so just put it all sorts of stuff. Making pasta sauce? add a dollop. Making an omelet? add a dollop. Making beans? etc. My lady and I go through a jar of chipotle in adobo in a half dozen meals.
non-vegan
chopping them up fine with the sauce and incorporating it all (carefully) into beef, then shaping into patties makes some delicious burgers.
put it in some sandwiches
