Red White And Blue Chili Food

RED, WHITE AND BLUE CHILI

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, saute green pepper and onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the tomatoes, broth, chicken, beans, chili seasoning, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips.

RED AND WHITE DOUBLE DIPPERS WITH BLUE CORN CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Place the bell peppers on a large baking sheet and broil, turning, until the bell peppers have blackened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let stand until cooled.
• While the peppers cool, make the creamy garlic lime dip. Stir the sour cream, lime juice, cilantro, coriander, zest, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to adjust the consistency to your liking.
• Rub the skin off the bell peppers and remove the stem and seeds. Put in the bowl of a food processor or the carafe of a blender. Add the tomato, piquante peppers, onion, lime juice, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pulse until chunky. Transfer to a serving bowl and season with the hot sauce, salt and pepper.
• Serve the blue corn tortilla chips with the red pepper sauce and white dip.

RED, WHITE, AND BLUE POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Very thinly slice potatoes on a mandolin (about 1/16 inch thick). Cover in cold water (separately, if using multiple colors) for 1 hour. Swish potato slices around to release starch, then drain. Repeat until water is no longer cloudy. Spread slices out on kitchen towels and pat dry. Let air-dry 15 minutes.
• Fill a medium heavy pot halfway with extra-virgin olive oil. Clip a candy or frying thermometer to pot and heat oil to 345°. Add a small handful of potato slices and stir to break apart (temperature will drop and oil will vigorously bubble).
• Turn and stir potatoes until bubbling stops completely, about 4 minutes per batch; do not let temperature go above 350°. Remove and drain on paper towels. (If they are still slightly soft in the center after resting a minute, return to oil briefly.) Sprinkle with salt.
• Return oil to 345° between batches. (You can reuse the oil later to make more chips; store it in a tightly covered jar for up to a month.) Chips are best eaten the day they are made, but can be stored, once cooled completely, in an airtight container up to 3 days.

RED, WHITE, AND BLUE CHEESE BALLS

Steps:

• Combine cream cheese, butter, salt, pepper, cayenne, roasted red peppers, corn, and blue cheese in a mixing bowl. Stir together until evenly and thoroughly combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 1 hour.
• Use a sorbet scoop or spoon to form tablespoon-sized balls of cheese mixture; place on a lined sheet pan. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. A perfect shape doesn't matter at this point since these will be rolled in the coatings to complete the process.
• Transfer chilled cheese balls into the coatings of your choice, such as almonds, chives, and bacon, and roll around to cover. Once coated, roll each briefly in your hands to achieve the final ball shape. Transfer to a plate or pan and keep chilled in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

RED, WHITE, AND BLUE-MISU

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the mascarpone gently into the whipped cream, until well incorporated. Set aside.
• Place half of the strawberries into the blender pitcher. Blend until smooth. Mix the remaining whole berries with the pureed strawberries in a large bowl.
• Layer 1/3 of the angel food cake cubes in the bottom of a trifle or serving dish. Cover with 1/3 of the strawberries and blueberries and gently spoon 1/3 of the cream mixture over the fruit. Repeat the layers twice, ending with the cream mixture. Chill until ready to serve.
• When ready to serve, run a vegetable peeler over the edge of the dark chocolate bar, letting the curls fall onto the top of the dessert.
