Adobo - Mexican Smoked Chile Marinade
3 Oranges
2 ts Dried oregano
1 Lime
1/2 ts Cumin seed
2 To 3 canned chipotle chilies
1/2 ts Black pepper
-or to taste 2 tb Wine vinegar
3 Cloves garlic (1 T)
1/2 ts Salt

This spicy marinade owes its unusual flavor to the chipotle, a smoked
jalapeno chili. Chipotles are usually sold canned in tomato paste.
Look for them at Mexican and Latin American markets. Adobo marinade
goes particularly well with pork. Juice the oranges and lime. Finely
chop chilies and garlic. Place citrus juices, chilies, garlic,
oregano, cumin, black pepper, vinegar and salt in blender and puree
until smooth. Makes enough marinade for 1 1/2 to 2 pounds meat or
chicken.
