ANCHO CHILE AND CITRUS KETCHUP
I know it's un-American and I'm probably politically suspect for saying this but I don't really care all that much for Ketchup. What do I dip my fries in? Usually Tex-Mex Mayo, NurseDi's recipe # 29499. I came across this at www.foodtv.com. It seemed good so I gave it a try. At last a ketchup that I liked. It's from Bobby Flay but I've increased the spices. I can't help myself. The cooking time is melding time. The USDA has a formula for ketchup. If a company doesn't follow the "official" formula they can't call it ketchup. Buy the house brand.

ANCHO CHILE FETTUCCINI WITH CILANTRO-TOMATILLO CREAM SAUCE
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.

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.

Tips:
- Choose ripe and flavorful citrus fruits. This will ensure that your ketchup has the best possible flavor. If you use citrus fruits that are not ripe, your ketchup will be sour and lacking in sweetness.
- Use a variety of citrus fruits. This will give your ketchup a more complex flavor. Some good combinations include oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruits. If you only use one type of citrus fruit, your ketchup may end up tasting one-dimensional.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Ancho chili powder is a great starting point, but you can also add other spices to your liking. Some good options include cumin, coriander, and paprika. You can also add a touch of heat with cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
- Cook your ketchup over low heat. This will help to prevent it from scorching and will also allow the flavors to develop fully. Be patient and let your ketchup simmer for at least 30 minutes, or even longer if you have time.
- Taste your ketchup as it cooks. This is the best way to make sure that it has the right balance of flavors. If it's too sour, you can add a little sugar or honey. If it's too spicy, you can add a little more citrus juice or water. If it's too bland, you can add more spices.
Conclusion:
Citrus and Ancho Chili Ketchup is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for grilled chicken, fish, or pork. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for fries, onion rings, or chicken nuggets. No matter how you use it, Citrus and Ancho Chili Ketchup is sure to add a burst of flavor to your meal.
