LUCKY DEVILS DIABLO SAUCE

Steps:

• Roast the habanero and jalapeno peppers over an open flame until they are charred on the outside. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Remove the stems and the seeds. Remove the stems and seeds from the pasilla pepper as well. Set aside.
• Place the tomatoes with their sauce into a large pot. Crush the tomatoes up more with your hands to break them up. Add the roasted habanero and jalapeno peppers, the pasilla chili paste, soy sauce, brown sugar, cayenne, ancho and California chili powders and paprika into the pot and bring to a low boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and cool it down. You can place it into the refrigerator. Once the sauce it cooled completely, add the cilantro and lime juice.
• Puree in a food processor or blender until it is smooth. You can adjust the levels of peppers and chili powders to make the sauce hotter or milder to your liking. We love it hot!

SAUCE DIABLE

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a saucepan and add the shallots. Cook briefly, stirring. Add the wine and cook down to about two tablespoons.
• Add the Worcestershire sauce and chicken broth. Stir in the tomato paste and cook down by almost half. Add the cream and stir. Add the mustard, salt to taste and a generous grinding of black pepper and serve.

DIABLO SAUCE WITH PASTA

Steps:

• Prepare pasta as directed.
• Lightly pan fry your shrimp, chicken, or fish in olive oil.
• Sometimes I lightly bread my chicken, sometimes I don't.
• Mix flour into marinara so that it blends well in the sacue and doesn't get lumpy.
• Now, combine all ingredients except mushrooms in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Stir and bring to simmer for about 3-5 minutes.
• Add mushrooms and continue to simmer for about 5-8 more minutes or until desired consistancy.
• This sauce is not overly thick so don't add too much flour.
• If preparing with sauteed shrimp I add that for just a minute before pouring over pasta or if I'm serving with chicken or fish I just lay either over a small bed of pasta and cover with sauce and maybe a sprinkle of parmesean cheese.
• Enjoy!

BASIC BROWN SAUCE

Steps:

• Saute onion in butter in a heavy skillet until onion is tender; discard onion. Cook butter over low heat until it begins to brown. Add flour, stirring until smooth ( I find that a whisk works best). Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add bouillon granules, and gradually stir in water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Stir in pepper. Serve with beef or pork.
• Bordelaise Sauce: Substitute 1/3 cup dry red wine for 1/3 cup of the water, and stir in 3/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes and 1/4 teaspoon dried whole thyme; increase pepper to 1/4 teaspoon.
• Mushroom Brown Sauce: Saute 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms in 2 tablespoons butter; drain and stir into Basic Brown Sauce. Serve with beef.
