Smoky Chipotle Peppers Makes Dave's Sauce A Winner!

Dave's Gourmet uses fire-roasted sweet red peppers and chipotle chiles to give this sauce a delicious, slightly smoky flavor that will enhance any dish.

Although Dave's Roasted Red Pepper & Chipotle Hot Sauce contains some habanero pulp, this sauce is one of Dave's less-fiery creations and is more of "warm" hot sauce where flavor takes precedence over fire. This was made evident when
Dave's Roasted Red Pepper & Chipotle Hot Sauce took first place in the FDM Hot Sauce Shoot Out, medium chile category.

Use Dave's Roasted Red Pepper & Chipotle Sauce on pork, lamb, hamburgers, chile, and any other foods that will benefit from some smoky heat.

Dave's Gourmet Roasted Red Pepper & Chipotle Sauce can be purchased in 5oz jars or as part of the Dave's Gourmet Spicy 6 or 12 Pack.

Dave's Gourmet's site
says: Roasted red peppers and smoky chipotle peppers give this sauce a wonderful fire roasted flavor that just won't quit. Try it on your burgers, tacos, sandwiches, burritos, pizza and pasta.

Don't Stand In Line, Order Online.

DENVER (BUSINESS WIRE) Any computer is now a virtual Chipotle Mexican Grill thanks to the restaurant company’s newly enhanced online ordering system. The new system enables customers to place and pay for their order online, then within minutes go directly to the front of the line at the restaurant to pick it up.

“This is another way we are making our high quality food available and affordable so everyone can eat better,” said Steve Ells, Chipotle founder, chairman and CEO. “We can deliver a great Chipotle experience in a way that meets the demands of time-pressed customers.”

Among the new features added to Chipotle’s online ordering system include a secure credit card payment capability that can save customers’ information so they do not have to re-enter it every time they log on. An expanded group ordering feature allows customers to place multi-item orders under a single name, invite others via e-mail to add to their order, and manage group orders online. Like the previous generation online ordering system, the updated version allows customers to save their own favorite meals online, as well as those of friends, family or co-workers. The system also provides ample space for comments and special instruction so customers can make the same kinds of requests they would if they visited the restaurant.

Ketchup Redux; The Russian River Way

If there was ever an existing condiment that takes change well, ketchup would be that condiment. You can squirt or pour the old standby on your fries, burgers, or dogs, but that's pretty much the limit of its humble being.

Chef Ken at Russian River Fine Foods quickly realized the potential for improvement and took charge with this zesty version of the American Classic.

Chipotle Ketchup
is a new and enjoyable twist on one of America’s most popular condiments. With just a hint of sweetness and a bit of smoky spice from the peppers, this sauce is a compliment for every thing from hamburgers and french fries to omelets or eggs cooked any style, but the reduced sweetness and the smoky, mildly spicy element lends itself to an even greater versatility.

Chef Ken has created many recipes that incorporate the use of his smoky Chipotle Ketchup. Here is a simple recipe that shows off the wonderful, subtle yet complex flavors of Chipotle Ketchup:

Smoky Chipotle Lime Prawns

Ingredients:
12 medium prawns (peeled and de-veined)
4 ounces Chipotle Ketchup
Juice of ½ of a lime
2 tbsp olive oil

Directions:
Marinate the prawns in the Chipotle ketchup for 24 hours. After the prawns are marinated, heat a sauté pan till it gets very hot then add the oil.

Take the prawns out of the Chipotle Ketchup and gently place them in the sauté pan. Sauté the prawns on one side for 2 minutes.

Turn the prawns over and add the chipotle ketchup you used as the marinate.

Squeeze the lime juice in as well. Continue to sauté for another 4 minutes. Now you are ready to serve.

Recipe: Smoky Chipotle Honey Roasted Peanuts

Party season is here and we all need a few good simple ways to throw together a snack for munching. This easy zipped up beer nut recipe will be a favorite at any get together. But you don't need to wait for a party to make these sweet, smoky, and spicy treats; they're great anytime!

Ingredients:
1/3 cup white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons chipotle chile powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound skinless peanuts

Directions:
1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

Smokey Chipotle Pepper Gourmet Salsa & Dip

The great white north is home to Epicurean Foods; makers of Prospero Smokey Chipotle Pepper Gourmet Salsa & Dip.

Epicurean Foods describes their salsa as follows:
"The rustic taste of our Chipotle Pepper Salsa on grilled meats is a wild new taste sensation! It's also great drizzled over cream cheese with crackers or crusty bread or as a delicious new topping on rice, steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes. "

This is one of the six fine salsas Epicurean food makes. The Raspberry & Chipotle Pepper Gourmet Salsa & Dip would be a nice change for the chipotle lover that likes their salsa with some sweet fruity elements.

If anyone has had the opportunity to try these great looking salsas from Canada we would love to get your feedback on them!

Willie B's Texas Style BQ Sauce; Blazin Hot and Smokey Chipotle

We found this smokey chipotle BBQ sauce at Willie B's who claim to be "Authentic Texans". Seems like both flavors are smokey chipotle but the Blazin' hot is Chipotle'er!

Texas Style Smokey Chipotle BBQ Sauce- in Texas, barbecue is king. This is a traditional Texas sauce...thick
and slightly sweet with chipotle peppers added to give it a warm smokey flavor. This sauce is delicious on any
kind of meat, as a marinade, or a sandwich topping. Try it on brisket, chicken, fish, or pork.

Texas Style Blazin' Hot BBQ Sauce- don't let the name fool you, this one is REAL good. And only the wimpiest
out there will find it too hot. We take our Smokey Chipotle BBQ Sauce and simply add more chipotle pepper
to it to give it more heat.

2nd place winner in the 2006 Fiery Food Challenge!!!
