Time 2h50m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

⅓ cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons chipotle chile powder
¼ teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound skinless peanuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Stir together the sugar, chipotle powder, chili powder, and garlic powder in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Stir together the butter, honey, and kosher salt in a large saucepan over medium heat until the butter has melted, and the mixture is bubbly. Stir in the peanuts until well coated, then pour out into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the nuts are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Stir the mixture 2 or 3 times to ensure even cooking. Once done, scrape the peanuts into a large metal bowl, and sprinkle with the spice mixture. Toss the peanuts to evenly coat with the spice mixture. Allow the peanuts to cool to room temperature, tossing every few minutes so the nuts do not stick together.

CHIPOTLE, PEANUT AND SESAME SEED SALSA



Chipotle, Peanut and Sesame Seed Salsa image

This nutty, spicy salsa with the tang of vinegar is from Veracruz, Mexico, where it's called salsa macha. It has long been a favorite of Pati Jinich, the Mexican-born chef who lives in Washington, D.C. Her version comes together fast, and offers a lot of character and versatility. Use it to liven up roasted vegetables or grilled meats. It's especially great on lamb chops and skirt steak, or even baked potatoes served with sour cream and cheese. The salsa lasts for a couple of weeks in the refrigerator; the solids will sink to the bottom, leaving a deeply flavored oil that can add a little muscle to sauces or a finishing touch to other dishes. You can use other nuts in place of the peanuts, or a mix of nuts and sunflower or pumpkin seeds.

Categories     quick, dips and spreads, side dish

Time 10m

Yield About 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups olive oil
1/2 cup raw unsalted peanuts (or use pecans, hazelnuts or walnuts)
4 garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 ounces dried chipotle chiles (1 1/2 to 2 cups), stemmed and seeded
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon brown sugar, or to taste
3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a 12-inch skillet until it is very hot but not smoking. Add the peanuts and garlic, then cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly. The peanuts should just begin to turn color. Be careful to not let them scorch, which can happen quickly.
  • Add the sesame seeds and chiles, and continue to stir and fry for a minute or until the chiles are lightly toasted.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the contents, including all of the oil, to a food processor or blender. Add the salt, sugar and vinegar, and blend until almost smooth. (The salsa should be uniform but have a little texture to it.)
  • Pour into a container and let cool. Refrigerate the salsa if you are not using it the day you make it.

Tips:

  • Use good quality chipotle powder: The chipotle powder is what gives these peanuts their signature smoky and spicy flavor. Make sure to use a good quality powder that is fresh and flavorful.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the peanuts, make sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. This will help them roast evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Keep an eye on the peanuts: The peanuts can burn easily, so keep an eye on them while they are roasting. Stir them occasionally to ensure that they are roasting evenly.
  • Let the peanuts cool completely: Once the peanuts are roasted, let them cool completely before storing them. This will help them to stay crispy.
