Spicy Chipotle Marinade

A marinade forked into its own recipe per the archive's rule that glazes and marinades are kept as standalone recipes. It also remains inline in SPICY CHIPOTLE GRILLED CHICKEN, where it is originally used.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup (60 ml) canned chipotle chiles in adobo*
• 3 tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, pressed
• 1/2 onion, coarsely chopped
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) paprika
• 1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon (5 ml) chili powder
• 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt

Method

1. Combine the chipotles in adobo, olive oil, and garlic cloves in a processor and puree until a paste forms.
2. Add the chopped onion, chopped cilantro, paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, and salt, and process until the onion is finely chopped.
