ANCHO CHILE FETTUCCINI WITH CILANTRO-TOMATILLO CREAM SAUCE



Ancho Chile Fettuccini with Cilantro-Tomatillo Cream Sauce image

Rather than make fettuccine colored with spinach or tomatoes, I wanted to create something with color AND flare. Here is my idea. Try serving with grilled skewered chicken and mushrooms, marinated with lime, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
4 cloves unpeeled garlic
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 bunch chopped fresh cilantro
3 tomatillos, husked and chopped
½ jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
½ cup cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon ground cumin
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Roast ancho chiles and 4 cloves unpeeled garlic. Press the chiles flat against the pan with a spatula until they begin to pop and smoke, then flip. When done, rehydrate chiles in a bowl of warm water for 30 minutes. Turn garlic until all sides are browned, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool, then peel.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine chiles, 2 cloves roasted garlic, and eggs. Blend until smooth. Place the flour in a mound on a clean surface. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt with a fork, then make a well in the center. Pour in egg mixture. Working from the center outward, gradually incorporate the flour with a fork until dough is formed. Knead dough for 5 minutes, adding more flour if necessary. Prepare fettuccini according to your pasta machine's instructions. Lay the fettuccine flat on lightly floured surface for 15 minutes.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine 2 remaining cloves roasted garlic, cilantro, tomatillos, jalapeno, cream cheese, sour cream, chicken stock, 1 tablespoon olive oil, cumin, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. Pour into a saucepan over low heat, and cook until heated through.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until pasta rises to the surface. Drain, and divide into serving portions; pour sauce over top.

Chiles Ancho Rellenos image

This traditional Mexican dish features whole baked ancho chiles stuffed with a delicious chicken filling and topped with a cream sauce.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ancho chiles, wiped clean
4 cups water
2/3 cup cider vinegar
4 ounces piloncillo, grated
1 stick cinnamon, broken into pieces
1 teaspoon salt
Picadillo de Pollofilling
2 cups Mexican crema or creme fraiche
1 cup finely diced white onion
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slit an opening in each ancho from stem to tip, being careful not to tear the skin; carefully remove seeds and ribs, and discard.
  • Combine the water, vinegar, piloncillo, cinnamon, and salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add anchos; cover, and let stand 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Spoon filling into each chile; arrange in a baking dish. Bake chiles until heated through, about 15 minutes. Bring crema and onion to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat; simmer 8 minutes. Pass through a fine sieve into a bowl; stir in cilantro. Pour sauce over anchos, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ancho chiles: Fresh ancho chiles have a better flavor and aroma than dried ones. If you can't find fresh ancho chiles, you can use dried ones, but you'll need to soak them in hot water for 30 minutes before using them.
  • Roast the ancho chiles before using them: Roasting the ancho chiles brings out their flavor and makes them easier to blend. To roast the chiles, place them on a baking sheet and roast them in a preheated 375°F oven for 10-15 minutes, or until they are slightly charred.
  • Use a blender or food processor to make the ancho chili sauce: A blender or food processor will make it easy to blend the ancho chiles, tomatoes, and other ingredients until they are smooth.
  • Season the ancho chili sauce to taste: After you've blended the sauce, taste it and add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Use the ancho chili sauce to make chicken bites: To make chicken bites, simply coat the chicken in the ancho chili sauce and then bake or fry them until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken bites with your favorite sides: Chicken bites can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, beans, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Ancho chile chicken bites are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The ancho chili sauce is flavorful and tangy, and the chicken bites are tender and juicy. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
