How to Make Chipotle Salsa Negra Dark Chipotle Salsa
- Rinse 10-12 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.
- Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
- Add chipotle peppers and 4 cloves garlic, minced, to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes until fragrant.
- Set the cooked garlic aside.
- Transfer the chipotle peppers to a bowl and cover with 1 cup of hot water.
- Let the peppers soak until softened, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the peppers and remove stems, seeds, and veins.
- Puree the softened chipotle peppers, the set-aside garlic, and 2 cups of water using an immersion blender or a regular blender until completely smooth.
- Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the pureed salsa. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10-15 minutes. The salsa should coat the back of a spoon.
- Season generously with salt to taste. Consider adding a pinch of sugar to balance the heat.
