Chipotle Peanut Sauce Recipes

SPICY CHIPOTLE PEANUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil; rub lightly with oil.
• Put the egg white, lime zest, sugar, chipotle powder, coriander, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon oil in a medium bowl. Beat with a fork to combine. Add the peanuts and toss to coat.
• Spread the spiced peanuts on the prepared baking pan in a single layer. Bake until dry and a shade darker, about 15 minutes. Cool completely before adding the cilantro.

CHIPOTLE, PEANUT AND SESAME SEED SALSA

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.

CHIPOTLE HONEY ROASTED 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.
