Adobo de Chile Pasilla
Adobo is a lovely sauce made with dried chillies, tomatoes, onion and spices. There are different types of adobos depending on the dried chilli is used to make it. I love making adobos and there is always a tube full of adobo in my fridge.
It is an easy way to add flavour to any dish, from broths, to meats, fish, veggies, there is always some sort adobo that can be use. My favourite adobo at the moment is this recipe I make with pasilla chillies.
Pasilla chillies are these long dried chillies that when they are cooked, they make a beautiful terracotta colour sauce, very velvety, sweet and aromatic. It is not spicy, so that makes it perfect for my children.
I rub this adobo to meats, fish or vegetables and it is the perfect sauce to marinate things to put on the barbecue.
