Any idea of a substitute for Subway's Southwest Chipotle sauce?

[bledd]

In the quest to making my perfect lunchtime meal, I'm attempting to replicate & improve on the Subway Italian BMT, with southwest sauce

The base is of course easy, but how can I make a similar sauce?

This any good to you as a starting point?

Mayo, Lime, Chipotle (smoke dried jalepenos), Garlic, Salt, Pepper. You'll need to play to get the right balance but it's close, I personally like this with a drop of paprika and a tiny bit of sour cream, but I'm a wierdo!

Try phoning Subway HQ and ask if they will sell you some bottles of their sauce?

 

[Gilly]

Use BBQ, as their Southwest sauce sucks ass.

Never tried it, however BMT with olives and jalapeños with honey and mustard sauce.

I make my own BMT's but i use a chilli tomato sauce that i get from aldi (its just a tomato sauce with chilli in) and its really nice.

Chipotle (smoke dried jalepenos)

Is this usually kept next to the hen's teeth? Can't find it for buggery

Whilst it may be difficult to find in supermarkets, though not impossible, you'll easily get it online. Like so -

Though Waitrose does sell a Chipotle paste.

I'd love to open up a shop in Glasgow that sells these sorts of speciality ingredients, spices, and stuff like that. I'd have a coffee section, and have SiliconSlave & Flibster on the payroll and obviously a large booze section.

Just hard to find, easy online.
Or if you live in London theres a mexican chilli store that does loads of dried chillies. I got a few cans of them. These are them.

I live in St Davids, don't think I've ever seen a Waitrose .

I'll check the local Food & Wine shop, failing that, online it is

 

[Hairybudda]

AH2 got it bang on, I get it all from coolchile, there are indie places you can get it from, good luck sourcing them, I wish we had more immigrant culture here for this kinda thing

Here's the recipe. They use a chipotle ranch dressing:

An easier way is to simply mix 3-1 Ranch Dressing with bottled Chipotle sauce. It is incredibly easy to duplicate the flavour.

Agreed. BBQ or Sweet Chili > Southwest.

 

[monkeyspank]

Tesco sell dried ancho chillies (similar taste to chipotle IMO). Great to rehydrate for stews/chillis etc and you could make your own bbq sauce with them, ketchup, cider vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, paprika

To get me to go to Glasgow? You can't afford me.

Chipotle is fairly easy to source here

 

[Scottland]

I just mix some dried chipotle chillies with some olive oil and give it a bash to make a paste, then stir that into some mayo. Keeps for ages and cheap as chips if you use just a cheap mayo.

As for where to get Chipotle chillies from, I get mine from an asian supermarket online when I order other stuff. Discovery do a paste you can buy, but only Waitrose stock it as far as I know.
