1 Whisk
1 Fine Mesh Strainer
1 Vita Prep/ Blender
1 Rubber Spatula
Method:
- Add onions, jalapeños, celery, green peppers and garlic to the vita prep/ blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour the puréed vegetables to the large sauce pot and reduce over medium heat.
- Once the purée has reduced and all of the liquid has dissipated, add the Red Wine and continue to reduce.
- Mix in remaining ingredients and simmer on low heat for about 1 1/2 hours.
- Remove from heat, strain through a fine mesh strainer into a large mixing bowl, and salt as needed.
Notes:
The spice can be adjusted by adding more jalapeños and/ or adding some of the actual chipotles from the can. The sauce in this recipe will have some heat for those who are sensitive to spicy food.
