Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 14 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup good quality unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
2 teaspoons of your favorite ground chile powder, such as ancho chile powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temp
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup dark chocolate chunks
1/2 cup unsalted pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds), lightly toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, chile powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium-high speed until light and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the brown and granulated sugar and beat until slightly fluffy, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until well combined.
  • Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low, add half the flour mixture, and beat until just combined, then add the remaining flour mixture and beat until the mixture just comes together, 1 to 2 minutes, being careful not to overmix. Add the chocolate chunks and pepitas and beat on low until just combined.
  • Use a 2-ounce ice cream scoop or a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, making about 14 cookies total and leaving at least 2 inches between each cookie.
  • Bake until the edges of the cookies are crisp but the centers are still tender, about 15 minutes, rotating the baking sheets top to bottom and front to back halfway through the baking time. Remove from the oven, set the baking sheets on wire racks, and let the cookies cool completely on the pans. They should keep up to 5 days in an airtight container.

Yield serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

Canola or peanut oil
3 large Idaho potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick fries, and soaked in cold water
3 cups rice flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
2 1/2 pounds fresh cod, cut into 8 pieces
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Lemon-Habanero Tartar Sauce (recipe follows)
Serrano Vinegar (recipe follows)
3 cups fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
3 anchovy fillets in oil, patted dry and chopped
1 habanero chile, chopped
6 cornichons, finely diced
2 tablespoons brined capers, drained
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups white wine vinegar
8 serrano chiles, pricked with a fork
1 tablespoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Fill a deep-fryer or a deep pot halfway with oil, and preheat to 325°F.
  • Drain the fries in batches on paper towels. Fry each batch until a pale blond color, 3 to 4 minutes, and remove to a baking sheet lined with paper towels.
  • Raise the oil temperature to 365°F.
  • Whisk 2 cups of the rice flour with 1 cup cold water in a medium bowl, and season with salt, pepper, and the 1 teaspoon ancho chile powder.
  • Put the remaining 1 cup flour on a large plate and season with salt and pepper. Season the fish fillets on each side with salt and pepper, and lightly dredge them in the seasoned flour, tapping off any excess. Working in batches, dip the fish in the batter and fry until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 5 minutes total. Remove the fish with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels. Then transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve.
  • Raise the oil temperature to 375°F. Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons ancho chile powder with 1 tablespoon salt in a small bowl.
  • Fry the potatoes again, in batches, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a baking sheet lined with paper towels, and season with the chile mixture and the cilantro.
  • Serve the fish and chips in baskets, with the tartar sauce and vinegar on the side.
  • Bring the lemon juice to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 20 minutes. Whisk in the honey and let cool.
  • Combine the reduced lemon juice, mayonnaise, anchovies, and habanero in a food processor and process until smooth. Scrape the mixture into a medium bowl, and stir in the cornichons and capers. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
  • Bring the vinegar to a simmer in a small saucepan. Add the chiles and salt, remove from the heat, and transfer to a glass bottle or jar. Let sit at room temperature for 8 hours before refrigerating.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and plump ancho chiles. They should be deep red in color and have a slightly wrinkled texture.
  • Remove the seeds and stems from the chiles. Use a sharp knife to carefully slice open the chiles and remove the seeds and stems. Rinse the chiles thoroughly to remove any remaining seeds.
  • Soak the chiles in hot water for 30 minutes. This will help to soften the chiles and make them more pliable.
  • Slice the chiles into thin strips. Use a sharp knife to slice the chiles into thin strips, about 1/8-inch thick.
  • Toss the chile strips with oil, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to evenly coat the chile strips with the oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread the chile strips in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure the chile strips are not touching each other.
  • Bake the chile strips in a preheated oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, or until they are crispy. Keep a close eye on the chile strips to make sure they do not burn.
  • Let the chile strips cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.

Conclusion:

Ancho chile chips are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or used as a topping for salads, soups, and stews. They are also a great way to add a little bit of heat to your favorite dishes. With their unique smoky flavor and crispy texture, ancho chile chips are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
