Please supply the recipe so it can be printed or saved. I don’t want to watch a video for the ingredients and amounts as I cook. This is such a good piece of advice!
Hi Judy, with pleasure! For each whole chipotle chile called for in a recipe, combine ¾ teaspoon chipotle powder with ¼ teaspoon red wine vinegar and ¼ teaspoon tomato paste. For every teaspoon of adobo sauce, combine 1/8 teaspoon chipotle powder with ½ teaspoon vinegar and ½ teaspoon tomato paste.
Why is there no adobo powder in adobo sauce? Perhaps you think the ingredient is too hard to find? If I have it on hand, should it be added? How much? Thank you!
