Jalapeno Brownies Recipes

AARON SANCHEZ'S MEXICAN BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides. Press the paper into the corners of the pan and lightly grease the paper with butter.
• Melt the 2 sticks of butter in a nonstick saucepan over medium-low heat; do not boil. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Add the sugar, eggs and vanilla to the saucepan and stir with a wooden spoon until combined.
• Add the cocoa, flour, cinnamon, chili powder, salt and baking powder and mix until smooth. Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out fudgy, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack, then use the parchment paper to lift out the brownies before slicing.

JALAPEñO BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small sauce pan set over medium heat, and when it foams, add the diced jalapeño.
• Continue cooking, swirling the mixture occasionally and stirring with a spoon to prevent the milk solids from sticking to the bottom of the pan, until the butter has turned brown and gives off a toasted, nutty aroma, approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly before tasting and add salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately with steamed clams, or as a sauce for sautéed fish.
