What is chipotle paste?
Chipotle paste is made from a purée of chipotle chillies – jalapeño chillies that have been smoked and dried. It usually includes ingredients such as onion, garlic, tomato purée, vinegar, spices, dried herbs and sugar. The paste originates from Mexico and can be used in a variety of ways, from stirring through soups and stews to coating meat and vegetables for roasting.
