CHALLENGE: CHOCOLATE CREPE WITH TANGERINE DRIED RED CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the crepe: In a medium bowl, mix all wet ingredients. Add the flour and whisk to combine. Stir in the melted butter and set aside.
• In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add 1/3 cup of the batter into the center of the skillet. Swirl the pan so the batter covers the surface of the pan, evenly and thinly. Cook until golden, then flip. Cook a few more seconds, then remove to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter. Let cool and cover with plastic wrap until ready to use.
• To make the filling: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
• To make the sauce: In a small pot over medium heat, combine the sugar and water and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and whisk in the cream until blended. Stir in the tangerine juice and cayenne and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and set aside.
• To assemble: Lay each crepe out on a work surface and spread 1 line of chocolate spread mixture down the center. Roll up each crepe to enclose the filling. Sprinkle some of the trail mix on a plate, lay 1 crepe on top and pour about 2 tablespoons sauce over each crepe. Repeat with remaining crepes and filling. Serve immediately.

CHOCOLATE CHILI

Steps:

• 1. In large skillet, over medium heat, cook meat until browned, stirring often. Drain well; set aside.
• 2. Add butter to large stockpot. Turn heat to low-medium.
• 3. Add garlic, mushrooms, onion and bell peppers; cook until translucent, stirring constantly, about 5 min.
• 4. Add reserved meat to stockpot, folding in gently.
• 5. Add remaining ingredients, in order given, stirring well after each addition.

BLACK BEAN AND CHOCOLATE CHILI

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté until onions become soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.
• Add the celery and chile, cover and cook for another five minutes more.
• Reduce the heat and stir in spices, (cumin, oregano, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, chili powder, black pepper, salt) along with the bell peppers. Cover again and cook for another five minutes. Stir often to keep the spices from burning. If the pan gets too dry add a little liquid from the diced tomatoes, or some water.
• Next, add the black beans, tomatoes, lime juice (if using) and soy sauce. Let the chili simmer on low for 5 to 10 minutes, until it thickens slightly and flavors combine.
• Stir in the chocolate. When chocolate has melted, taste to adjust the salt and pepper. Serve with topping of your choice. I like a bit of vegan cheese, sour "cream" and scallions.
• Chili can also makes a great filling to serve wrapped in flour tortillas, or in taco shells if you prefer.
