Instructions
  1. In a medium-sized pot over medium heat, add the oil. Once the oil shimmers on the bottom, add the onions and sauté for five minutes, stirring frequently. Add the garlic, minced chipotle peppers and brown sugar, stirring another five minutes and caramelizing the onions.
  2. Add the rub and toast the spices for one minute, then add the adobe sauce and tomato paste. Cook for another two minutes to caramelize the pastes, which intensifies the tomato flavor of the final sauce. Dice the smoked tomatoes and add to the sauce, stirring to mix, cooking for another two minutes, reducing any liquid from the tomatoes. Deglaze the pan with the Smoked Porter. Bring the sauce back to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes.
  3. Season to taste with salt, adding more rub as needed. Transfer the sauce to a blender in batches (if needed), making sure the volume of the pitcher is no more than half full. Cover the pitcher first with the lid, then a towel (just in case it splatters); start on low speed and increase to high speed, puréeing the sauce to a smooth consistency. Transfer to a quart-sized jar and chill. Cover with a lid once cool and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
