Today, among a million other things, I smoked 20 lbs jalapeños for a batch of canned chipotles in adobo. It got me wanting to try a new BBQ sauce and I must say it's quite fantastic. Maybe not new to you all, but just in case, I'm posting the recipe. Not mine either so I can't take credit for it. I do make my chipotle in adobo sauce Filipino style, so that may make a big difference.
Ingredients
•2 diced onions
•6 cloves garlic, minced
•Several chipotles in adobo, to taste
•1 cup ketchup
•1/2 cup coffee
•1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
•2 tablespoons lemon juice
•1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
•1/3 cup packed brown sugar
•1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
•2 teaspoons kosher salt
Directions
1) Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pot over medium-high heat
2) Sauté the onion and garlic until translucent, about 3-6 minutes
3) Place all remaining ingredients into pot and simmer gently for 20-30 minutes
4) Blend the sauce until smooth
5) Continue simmering until it is the consistency you desire
Notes
You can try many variations on this sauce:
- Use honey or molasses in place of the brown sugar
- Try different type of vinegar
- Use more or less chipotles for a different heat level
- Try replacing half the onion with diced sweet red peppers
