You might know adobo sauce only as the thick, deeply spiced sauce in which chipotles are stored in a can. Nothing wrong with that flavor. However, adobo sauce is so much more than sauce in a can. This sauce has smoky depth, a lot of full flavor from beef stock and canned tomatoes, a kick from a blend of chiles and spices, and the surprise of dark chocolate. Once you make this sauce, you will want to lick it off your fingers. Or, perhaps you will want to make a simple sous vide meal of pork chops over rice with grilled green onions, cilantro, and lime. This meal is bound to satisfy.
