The only chipotles I've seen here are canned in adobo, which implies different uses than a smoked, dried critter. Since y'r basic chipotle is a smoked, dried jalapeno, alternate choices would have to take into account whether the use emphasized the relative heat, smokiness, or dry-chile-ness. |

Absolutely, but it is costly. If you reconstitute a dry chile of your choice
and sprinkle with liquid smoke, or add liquid smoke to your recipe (to taste) you will arrive at an acceptable substitute. Normally I would never recommend a bottled product as they tend to be junk, but, Colgin brand Liquid Smoke does just what it is supposed to do. It is a smoke essence bound in a water base. Is the problem that canned chipotles en adobe do not exist in your country? If so, you probably don't have liquid smoke either. Here is another option, that I picked up in Afghanistan. When they are cooking dal or other lentils, they like to put a small ramekin with some burning wood into the pott of dal, cover it, and let the smoke infuse the dal. You could probably use the ramekin trick if you recipe is a stew like recipe? |

Just get some Jalapenos, toast them over an open flame, remove the seeds (be
careful of what you touch afterwards, eyes, nose, etc. !) If still to hot, use Anaheim's or poblanos & toast more. Enjoy Troy "Jack Schidt®" wrote in message m... "J.J.Graf" wrote in message ...

painted grafitti on my boxcar saying: Fiesta Mart, a texas grocery store chain, might sell mail order If you ask the right person. They have stores in Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and Houston. I got a pound of dried chipotle peppers for 4.99 Nice mottled dark tan color with the small dark brown linear stripes. They also have three different size cans of the canned in adobo sauce chipotles.
