Chipotle adobo

Adobo is a preservation technique that originated on the Iberian Peninsula in the fifteenth century. The core of adobo is the chili pepper, originally a Spanish pimenton, but depending on the region where the adobo is used, regional chili peppers (Capsicum annuum) are also used, such as the Mexican chili peppers in this Mexican version, which also uses smoked chili pepper, chipotle.

An adobo—Spanish for marinade and spice mix—is traditionally a mixture of herbs, spices, salt, and/or vinegar used to preserve perishable products (meat and fish). With the discovery of the chili pepper in the New World, the Spanish added it to the list of adobo ingredients. With great success. Capsaicin, responsible for the chili pepper's spiciness, proved to have strong antibacterial properties and was able to penetrate deep into meat and fish by dissolving in fat. It would form the basis of many adobos, always combined with wine or vinegar in Portugal.

The technique was introduced worldwide, and is very popular in the Philippines, Mexico, Peru and Puerto Rico.

Usage:

Adobo is used worldwide to season meat and fish, rarely as a preservative. Berenjenas de Almagro, eggplant with adobo, a Castillian classic, is delicious. Make a marinade with it, using a tomato passata or polpa, or use the mixture as a rub, such as with lomo en adobo (pork tenderloin).
