Chipotle Rub
1/4 cup corn oil
5 chipotle chiles, seeded and deveined
5 ancho chiles, seed and deveined |
25 cloves garlic
1 1/2 cups kosher salt
1/4 cup dried Mexican oregano, toasted |
Heat corn oil in a medium sized sauté pan over
medium high heat until hot but not smoking. Fry chiles one at a time until
they are puffed and brown about 10 seconds. Do not let burn. Drain chiles
on paper towels and set aside until they are cool and crisp. Grind chiles
in a spice mill until they are a fine powder. Place ground chiles and all
of the remaining ingredients in a food processor and process until you
have a shaggy, salt like rub. If the mixture seems wet, spread it in a
thin even layer on a dry baking sheet. Let dry in a cool (150 F) oven until
no longer moist, about 1 hour.
Store at room temperature in a covered container indefinitely.
Regrind the rub before use if necessary.
