Chili Pepper Dressing Food

CREAMY PEPPER DRESSING

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together all ingredients until well combined.
• Serve immediately or for best results, chill at least 2 hours before serving.

CHILI LIME VINAIGRETTE DRESSING

Steps:

• Whisk lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl until creamy and smooth. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to 8 hours.

CREAMY ROASTED HATCH PEPPER DIP

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Place Hatch chile peppers cut-side down on the prepared sheet.
• Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins.
• Combine Hatch chile peppers, ranch dressing, sour cream, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, lime juice, and salt in a blender; puree. Refrigerate until flavors are intensified, at least 1 hour.

SALT & PEPPER SQUID WITH ROAST CHILLI DRESSING

Steps:

• Cut the squid into large pieces, then score a criss-cross diamond pattern into the flesh, without cutting all the way through. To make the chilli dressing, pound the roasted dried chilli in a mortar and pestle (or food processor), then add the palm sugar. Pound again, adding the lime juice and the fish sauce. Mix well and place to one side. Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and slide a baking sheet in.
• Pound the peppercorns and sea salt together, then stir into the flour in a large bowl and set to one side. Heat a few cms oil in a wok or deep frying pan.
• Place the wok over a high heat; when the oil starts to shimmer, it is ready. Toss the squid in the seasoned flour so that it is coated well.
• Drop a quarter of the squid into the oil and fry for about 1 min. The squid should curl and go crisp. Lift out of the oil with a slotted spoon and keep warm in the oven on the baking sheet while you cook the rest. Serve straight away, with the dressing on the side.

SPINACH SALAD WITH CHILI PEPPER DRESSING

Steps:

• In a skillet cook bacon over moderately low heat until crisp and transfer to paper towels to drain. Crumble bacon. Discard coarse stems from spinach and tear leaves into bite-size pieces. Quarter olives and thinly slice mushrooms. Peel jícama and cut into 1/2-cubes. Mince scallions and finely chop eggs.
• In a large bowl toss spinach with bacon, olives, mushrooms, jícama, and scallions. Add dressing and toss well.
• Crumble cheese over salad and sprinkle with eggs.

CHILI-LIME DRESSING

Steps:

• Whisk lime juice, soy sauce, chili oil, sugar and garlic in medium bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with pepper. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

HOW TO MAKE CHILE OIL

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Prepare a clean, dry glass bowl or jar and place the crushed chile peppers in it.
• In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat for a few minutes, just until it begins to smoke. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the oil to cool in the pan for a minute or two. Be mindful that olive oil has a low smoking point and if heated up too much for too long, its flavor can change.
• Slowly and carefully pour the oil over the crushed chile peppers, making sure that the oil completely covers them. If necessary, use a spoon to stir so that all the chile is submerged. If using the whole chiles, add them now, and stir.
• Set the oil aside to cool for at least an hour or two.
• Once cooled, you can taste the oil. If it's to your liking, strain the oil to remove the crushed chile peppers. If you'd like more heat and flavor, cover the oil and allow it to infuse overnight or for as long as desired before straining-if choosing to do so, as the crushed chile will settle on the bottom of the jar, and you can use it along with the oil as a condiment.
• Once strained, store the oil in a clean, airtight glass container. If you used whole dried chile peppers, they can be returned to the oil to gradually intensify its color and flavor. If left unstrained, the infusion will continue to mature, and the heat factor will amplify.
