Hi..

 

This sounds wonderful and I really want to make it..

 

Can I just query a couple of the ingrediants please? (I'm from the UK and

things don't necessarily mean the same here)...

 

1 canned chipotle chili in adobo sauce - is this just a chilli pepper or

something else? Could I just substitute a fresh chilli?

8 oz slaw mix - does this mean coleslaw mix? So do I just make a regualr

coleslaw but with cilantro and lime juice and serve that with it?

 

Thanks in advance for your help,

 

Rebecca (Edinburgh)

To me, yes and yes! LOL

The chipotle chile in sauce is a canned item, chipotle meaning smoked chile

pepper (learned that from Food Network Star!) I imagine fresh is always best,

right?

As for the slaw, you could buy a bag of slaw w/o the dressing and use that or

chop your own ingredients and toss them with the cilantro and lime juice.

I hope you enjoy.

Hey, Rebecca!

The coleslaw mix is a fresh, bagged product of shredded cabbage and a

few carrots. It has no " sauce " added (mayonaisse, etc.). It is just a

pre-mixed, ready-to-go coleslaw for those who don't chop their own

veggies! I squeezed a fresh lime over the slaw mix, and added chopped

cilantro. The result is a raw, colorful slaw modge-podge! If you want

to view the recipe picture: www.vegetariantimes.com (search: clayudas)

 

The peppers came in a can, about a 4 ounce can, in a heavy, red adobo

sauce. Yes, I think you could probably substitute another similar

pepper.

The Chipotle chile pepper is a smoked jalapeno pepper the adobo sauce is a

tomatoey type sauce make

with adobo seasoning. It comes in a can.

 

I find they add some heat and have a nice smokey taste.

You could, but it would taste completely different. Chipotles in adobo

are first smoked, and then stewed in a tomato-based sauce. If you used

a fresh chile, you would miss out on both the smoke flavoring, which is

what makes chipotles special, and the rich warmth of the sauce.

Hey Rebecca

 

I found chipotle chioles in adobo sauce at Savacentre at Cameron

Toll. They are at the end of the health food aisle opposite the herbs

and spices. Alternatively you could try Lupe Pintos at Tollcross

which has a lot of Mexican and Spanish food.

I have been using the dried chipotle chiles, just add boiling water and

use as you would use the canned ones. This works out better for me

since I find myself not using the rest of the can and it is wasteful,

with the dried ones, just add the hot water to one, two, or as many as

you will need, no waste!

And don't toss out the sauce after you use the chilis. It's great in

refried beans and marinades and bbq sauce and and and. I love that sauce.

Peace,

Diane
