This dinner turned out really well. Made an adobo pasta and coated thin cut bone in pork chops; let marinate four hours in refrigerator. Cooked raised direct around 400 dome, turning a couple of times; pulled at 160 internal and foiled while I did the bread. Served with lime wedges; the lime was a nice contrast to the adobo flavor.

For the bread, took an Italian loaf, cut into quarters and grilled until lightly toasted. While still hot, rubbed fresh garlic cloves, added thin slices of avocado, drizzled EVOO, added salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Wow the bread was awesome.

Served with a caprese salad and nice bottle of Burgundy.

Don't laugh at the paper napkins; with a new baby in the house I almost plated this on paper plates!

    @travisstrick setting the table with a 2 year old around my legs and cradling a baby in one arm should get me +500 points.

    This looks real good. Have to try.

    I see you have the chilles in the pan. Did you boil them in a little water to make the paste? Just curious. Why did you not open one of thos little cans of chipotle peppers in adobo ?

    @aviator I lightly cooked the peppers just in a pan over medium heat to make the soft and pliable (but not toasted). Then it was easy to seed and de-stem. Then I put in pot with water and boiled.

    I might try canned next time but it as fun to do from scratch to learn the process.

    @paqman the marinate (I guess that's what you call it?) was just the adobo paste. Here's the recipe I used:

    5 dried chipo­tle chiles
    4 dried ancho chiles
    1 tea­spoon cumin seeds
    1 tea­spoon corian­der seeds
    1/2 tea­spoon all­spice
    1 tea­spoon dried oregano
    1 1/2 tea­spoons salt
    1 to 2 table­spoons red wine vine­gar
    5 table­spoons sher­ry vine­gar

    I toasted the dry spices, then put everything above in the food processor with the boiled and drained chilis.
