Cooking
- Stir.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together the tomato sauce, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, garlic powder, water or broth, salt, pepper, and brown sugar.
- Simmer.
- Bring to a steady simmer, then reduce the heat to medium low.
- Cover the pan and let simmer gently until thickened, about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Blend.
- Transfer to a blender or food processor and blend until very smooth.
- Tip: Place a thick layer of paper towels over the top of your blender before you turn it on.
- Hot liquids in blenders love to splatter—don’t ask me how I know.
