Notes
- CHIPOTLE PEPPERS - You can use 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (like the canned peppers here) OR I used this brand and used 1 1/2 tablespoons sauce.
- STORAGE - Store leftovers in covered container in fridge, use within 3-4 days.
- FREEZE - Cool completely, then place it in a single layer on a baking sheet and freezer for 1 hour. Transfer the crumbles to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
- REHEAT - Rewarm in a large skillet over medium heat until warm, adding a splash of water or a little oil if it looks a little too dry.
- Recipe adapted from my Cauliflower Walnut Bolognese and Pinch of Yum.
