Raspberry chipotle dressing
.some fresh raspberries , and chipotle peppers , we put them in
there , almost like you would bacon if you were going to be flavoring something
we're not gonna actually want this to be in the sauce ,it's just going to give
it a smoky flavor,i have some garlic that I'm going have sliced up,
and I have
some roasted jalapeno here and these are some sliced onions, so our first step
is going be well , and we have oil a little bit of oil on the stove, so my
first step is going be to get some of these things roast it up a little, so we
are gonna to take our over the stove , and get started, the first thing i'm
going to do is get my onions, and my garlic i will just going cook it down
,this work a little bit they're probably going cook it for about 5 minutes ,
and this is kind of a medium heat i don't want to burn the garlic ,so keep an
eye out on that someone let that go 5 minutes, then we'll be on to the next
step-down , i will starting to get a little bit of caramelization ,now what
we're going to do is we add a little bit of water, just to kind of cover it .
Now we're gonna to throw in our dried chipotle peppers ,and we're going to let
this simmer for a while ,and let all that smokiness come out, then once that's
done we're going to pull them out make sure here's been going about 30 minutes,
and now we're going to pull these and if you can tell it was just kind of under
a simmer , now go ahead and pull these smoked dried chipotle peppers out , it
should be enough smokiness in there . Now another option that we do have is we
can use something like that, product there we think that the sauce gives a
little bit of an aftertaste, so we only use this for like marinades
personally,but we could use those instead of those dried peppers, so if we have
that just go ahead and add our raspberries to this . Now i'm going to cover it
a little bit more, and keep it just under a simmer, this cooking down for about
30 minutes, this is kind of the consistency that we're looking for , and really
the there's not a lot of liquid in there, the raspberries are all broken down,
and it just smells , we can smell the raspberries , i can smell kind of that
smoky flavor, well it's time to pull this it all out of the pot and get it in
your blender , and finish this mixture in your blender ,
we can use white
vinegar apple cider vinegar, and we can use any kind of vinegar we want , i
want a little bit of acid in most glazes , we're making this is more of a sauce
and a glaze i want some acid in there , so i will hit it with some vinegar, and
hit it with honey, now we just use straight-up sugar this if as want and blend
this up i will hit it for a little bit i don't want to over blend it so we're
pull this out , see if it's ready, or not the consistency if it's not thick
enough and put it back on the stove but let's pull this out and taste it , and
see if i need to take another step so we had everything blended up in the
blender, and it came out a little thinner than what we're looking for , we
needed to add just a little bit of salt to it, and we add a bit of salt get it
back on the stove cook it down a little bit we want this to be on the thicker
side, so once you get it, it's thick as you wanted , now you can see what that
looks like then be jarring it up and getting ready for a taste test , well we
finally finished up this sauce , we have a jar and it is a pretty thick sauce
and if we can kind of tell the thickness it's like a kind of like a thick gravy
we really haven't had a chance to taste this yet and it's fully developed form
, so let's take a taste and see what's up with it, all right we can definitely
taste the raspberries not a whole lot of sugar it is sweet, but it's not overpoweringly
sweet , those smoked peppers you put in there definitely brought in some of
that smoky flavor the heat level on it is pretty low we're talking about like a
2 out of 10 as far as heat goes it's a little smoother than we want, but next
time you do it , we're not going to run it through the blender we're just
leaved it a little bit chunkier . this is going great this is great the way it
is we going be using this here on some steaks is a finishing sauce or just
something to dip it in or some chicken actually this would be even very good if
we have a little bit of olive oil to it and use it as a dressing so this is
going have a bunch of different uses for us , thank you and bon appétit .
