Something different today, an “executive summary” style recipe. Sharing the perfect sauce for anything but especially good for Latin inspired food. No more words, let’s dive on in to this smoked jalapeño sauce.
Fuel
1 Cup Crema or Sour Cream
2-3 Chipotles (deseeded and minced)
½ Lime (zested and juiced)
Garlic Clove (grated)
1 Tbsp. Adobo Sauce
1 tsp. Honey
S&P
Tools
Bowl
Whisk
Tactics
Place all ingredients in the bowl and mix to combine. Taste for seasoning and adjust as necessary. You’re welcome.
A few after the fire critiques: Want some added heat? Keep the seeds in the sauce. The sauce the chipotles are stored in is the adobo, a tomato based preservative that provides a great source of tang, vinegar., and slight sweetness. I reach for the crema for its added butterfat content, usually twice as much as sour cream, which offers a richer feel but sour cream works well in a pinch.
