Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon cocoa powder
2 teaspoons chipotle powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Two 1-inch-thick rib eye steaks

Yield 3 cups, 20 serving(s)

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar (yes, again)
2 cups warm water
3 cups pecan halves
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, then use a vegetable oil spray to lightly coat a large but shallow baking sheet.
  • In a bowl combine the 1/2 cup of sugar & the warm water, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
  • Add pecans & let soak 10 minutes before draining & discarding the water.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the 1/4 cup of sugar, cocoa, chili powder & cayenne pepper.
  • Add pecans to this spicy cocoa mixture & toss until all the cocoa mixture coats the pecans, then spread the nuts evenly on the prepared pan.
  • Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until pecans start to glisten & appear dry, stirring several times while baking.
  • Remove from the oven & let the baking sheet cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Store nuts in a tightly covered container, placed in a cool, dry spot.
  • Serve as a snack, with beverages, or sprinkle in salads.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Different peppers have different levels of spiciness, so choose the ones that best suit your taste. For a milder dish, use bell peppers or poblano peppers. For a spicier dish, use cayenne peppers or habanero peppers.
  • Roast the peppers: Roasting the peppers enhances their flavor and makes them easier to digest. To roast the peppers, place them on a baking sheet and broil them in the oven for 5-10 minutes, or until they are charred and blistered. Once the peppers are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs: The seeds and ribs of the peppers are the spiciest parts, so remove them before using the peppers in your recipe. To remove the seeds and ribs, cut the peppers in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and ribs.
  • Use gloves when handling spicy peppers: The capsaicin in spicy peppers can irritate your skin, so it is important to wear gloves when handling them. If you do get capsaicin on your skin, wash it off with soap and water immediately.

Conclusion:

Spicy cocoa is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. Whether you are looking for a sweet or savory dish, there is a spicy cocoa recipe out there for you.
