A fan from Washington Heights told me he had been thinking about this sauce since last July 4th, so I am going to give up the recipe.  This is a good condiment for grilled meats or veggies, and also dips well with tortilla chips.

 

Ingredients:

  • Chipotle Chiles:  I simmer mine in vinegar and sugar and water for a little while, then blend and keep a prepared paste in  the fridge.  The little yellow can of chipotle chiles in adobo sauce works well too.  For this recipe, add 3 tablespoons to the blender.
  • Olive oil, or any vegetable oil you have on hand, 2 Tablespoons
  • 1 cup chopped onion (about 1 large onion)
  • 3-5 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine (optional)
  • 2 T vinegar of choice
  • 2 T sugar, or other sweetener
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • tomato puree to taste (1/2 cup)

Blend all ingredients.
