This adobo recipe is the marinade for Neil Perry's braised short ribs recipe.
1. Preheat the oven to 180C (160C fan-forced).
2. In a bowl, cover the chillies with boiling water (about 2 cups); and allow to soften, this should take about 30 minutes.
3. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Place garlic, peppercorns, cloves and sesame seeds on a tray and roast for 10 minutes. Add the ginger, cumin and oregano, roast for a further 5-10 minutes until the sesame seeds are lightly brown (be careful not to burn them) and the spices are aromatic.
4. Place the spices, chillies, beer, vinegar and ¼ cup of the chilli-soaking liquid in a blender and blend to a smooth, thick paste.
