--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   7      oz            Can chipotle chiles
                        - en adobo
   2      tb            Corn oil
   3      cl            Garlic
   2      ts            Ground coriander
   1      ts            Thyme
   1      ts            Freshly ground black pepper

 In a food processor, combine all the ingredients and process until
 blended but still slightly chunky, about 1 minute. The paste can
 refrigerated, tightly covered, for up to 3 weeks.

 Building Block: By blending canned chipotle chilies in adobo with a
 few additional ingredients, you have a nearly effortless recipe for
 a versatile, spicy seasoning paste.

 Uses: Brush the paste on beef and pork roasts, baby back ribs,
 chicken or shellfish. Mix with sour cream or mayonnzise to accompany
 grilled meat, poached chicken, or baked potatoes. Add to a
 vinaigrette from raw or steamed vegetables. Stir into chicken stock
 along with shredded cooked chicken, chickpeas, and avocado cubes to
 make a zingy soup or into shrimp or lobster stock with assorted
 seafood. Mix into a simple tomato sauce to go with pasta, meatballs,
 sauteed shrimp or squid, or use as the base for a stew.
