With a food processor running, drop in the garlic cloves
and process until finely minced
Add the onion and
chipotle chilies with some of the adobo sauce
Pulse to
finely chop
Add the honey, lime juice and salt, then puree
Use immediately or cover tightly and store in the
refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Yield: 3/4 cup
SUGGESTED USE: Chipotle chilies are jalapeno chilies which
have been smoked, not just dried
A relatively mild jalapeno
transforms into a very spicy chili indeed
The adobo sauce is
a barbecue sauce
The smoky flavor of the chilies in contrast
to the sweet of the honey makes this paste a real treat
Smear it on steak (2 to 3 hours), London broil (4 to 6 hours),
tuna steaks (2 hours) or even chicken breasts (2 hours).
