Instructions

1 For a balanced adobo sauce, you'll want to remove the seeds and stems.

If you would like the adobo sauce to be spicy hot, start by removing the seeds.
Then smash/grind the seeds into a paste. This way the adobo sauce will not be
full of seeds and have improved texture.
2 Roast the dried chiles on a cookie sheet in a preheated oven of 400 degrees for
about 5 minutes. You'll know the chiles are almost done once you can smell them
in the air.

You'll want the chiles to be almost crispy once out of the oven. They will crisp
up even further once out of the oven as they cool down. This will make blending
them easier.
3 Next, toast the spices and herbs in a dry pan on the stovetop. Do not add
anything to the pan other than the herbs and spices. Take about 3 minutes. Keep
an eye on them so they do not burn.

TIP: - while toasting, you can move the pan on and off the heat to control the
toasting process. Best practice...
4 Toasting: Add to dry pan on medium heat,

- 1 ½ tablespoon of Cumin

- 1 tablespoon of Mustard Seeds

- 1 ½ tablespoon of Fennel Seeds

- 1 ½ tablespoon of Dried Thyme
5 Using a blender or food processor. I like using a blender since it has high
walls and the chiles are long/tall.

Start with the roasted chiles in the blender and get them to blend up first. Add
water at this point to help the blender chop the chiles.

Start with ½ cup of water to moisten the dried chiles and blend again. Then add
in ½ cup of canola oil plus ¼ cup of olive oil. Add as much water/oil as needed
to create a paste consistency.

Next, add in one medium onion, 1+ tablespoons of kosher salt, plus 2+
tablespoons of brown sugar, normal white sugar will work. Squeeze or juice one
lime and add to the blender.
6 After adding all the ingredients, adjust the consistency with water.

The end result, you will want the consistency of a paste. If the mixture looks
too tight/thick add more water or oil.
