Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Nuts and Seeds

Time 2h50m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

⅓ cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons chipotle chile powder
¼ teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound skinless 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.

CHIPOTLE, PEANUT AND SESAME SEED SALSA



Chipotle, Peanut and Sesame Seed Salsa image

This nutty, spicy salsa with the tang of vinegar is from Veracruz, Mexico, where it's called salsa macha. It has long been a favorite of Pati Jinich, the Mexican-born chef who lives in Washington, D.C. Her version comes together fast, and offers a lot of character and versatility. Use it to liven up roasted vegetables or grilled meats. It's especially great on lamb chops and skirt steak, or even baked potatoes served with sour cream and cheese. The salsa lasts for a couple of weeks in the refrigerator; the solids will sink to the bottom, leaving a deeply flavored oil that can add a little muscle to sauces or a finishing touch to other dishes. You can use other nuts in place of the peanuts, or a mix of nuts and sunflower or pumpkin seeds.

Categories     quick, dips and spreads, side dish

Time 10m

Yield About 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups olive oil
1/2 cup raw unsalted peanuts (or use pecans, hazelnuts or walnuts)
4 garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 ounces dried chipotle chiles (1 1/2 to 2 cups), stemmed and seeded
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon brown sugar, or to taste
3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar

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-PEANUT SAUCE



Chipotle-Peanut Sauce image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Nuts & Seeds

Time 5m

Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup smooth natural peanut butter
1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from one 7-ounce jar canned chipotle chiles)
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • Puree peanut butter and adobo sauce in a food processor. Add 3/4 cup water and puree until combined. Season with salt. Sauce can be refrigerated up to 2 days; bring to room temperature before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh peanuts: Fresh peanuts have a better flavor and texture than stale peanuts. If you can, buy peanuts that are still in the shell and shell them yourself just before using.
  • Roast the peanuts before using: Roasting the peanuts brings out their flavor and makes them more crispy. You can roast peanuts in the oven or in a pan on the stovetop.
  • Use a variety of spices: Chipotle peppers, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder are all great spices to use in spicy chipotle peanuts. You can also add other spices, such as smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, or black pepper, to taste.
  • Use a little bit of oil: Oil helps to coat the peanuts and prevent them from sticking together. You can use any type of oil, but olive oil or avocado oil are good choices.
  • Bake the peanuts until they are crispy: The peanuts should be baked until they are crispy and golden brown. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
  • Let the peanuts cool before serving: Once the peanuts are baked, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to crisp up.

Conclusion:

Spicy chipotle peanuts are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover peanuts. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own spicy chipotle peanuts that are sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
