Hollandaise Diablo Recipes

Steps:

• For the dry ingredients: Mix together the sifted flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the chocolate chips.
• For the wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, white sugar, canola oil, eggs, ginger juice and vanilla.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. On a greased cookie sheet, press fist-size cookie dough balls out and sprinkle with rock salt and sugar. Bake the cookies for approximately 11 minutes or until the cookies start to crack. They should be nice and fudgy in the middle! This recipe should make 12 BIG cookies or many more small ones.

Steps:

• For the pickled serranos: Combine the serranos, tequila, sugar, salt and lime juice in a bowl until the dry ingredients dissolve. Chill for 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Heat a grill to medium-high heat. Heat a griddle to medium.
• Add oil to a large cast-iron skillet and heat to 350 degrees F.
• For the Fresno chile pesto: In a large bowl toss the Fresno chiles and bell peppers with olive oil, salt and pepper, then roast on a sheet pan until skins are blistered, approximately 15 minutes. In a blender or a food processor on medium speed, blend with the basil and Parmesan until fully blended. Season to taste.
• For the jalapeno ranch: In a large bowl toss the jalapenos in olive oil with salt and pepper, then roast on a sheet pan until skins are blistered, approximately 15 minutes. In a blender or a food processor on low setting blend with the heavy cream, mayonnaise, granulated garlic and granulated onion. Raise speed to high and blend for additional 3 seconds. Be very careful not to overblend.
• For the chipotle bacon: In a bowl, toss the bacon with the chipotle puree until the bacon is fully coated. On a greased sheet tray roast until bacon begins to blacken, approximately 10 minutes.
• For the beer battered poblanos: Toss the poblano halves in olive oil with salt and pepper and roast on a sheet tray until skins are blistered, approximately 15 minutes. Let cool completely. Meanwhile whisk the beer together with all the flour minus 2 tablespoons in a bowl until a smooth batter is formed. Lightly coat each poblano half in the remaining flour, then dip in the batter, fully coating. Fry in the hot oil until golden brown.
• For the burgers: Make twelve 2-ounce patties, and press out until flat and squarish (roughly 4 inches across). Place patties on the grill, then salt and pepper the tops and cook to medium-well, roughly 2 minutes per side. Meanwhile, brush the buns with butter and toast on the griddle on one side until dark brown. Top toasted buns with the lettuce, followed by two patties, 1 tablespoon each jalapeno ranch, 1 strip each chipotle bacon (cut in half), 1 each battered poblano, 1 tablespoon each Fresno chile pesto, a quarter of an avocado each, 1 teaspoon each serrano chiles and 4 to 5 cilantro leaves.

Steps:

• Pour 1-inch of water into a large saucepan; over medium heat, bring to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low.
• Place egg yolks and 1 teaspoon water in a medium mixing bowl and whisk until mixture lightens in color, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sugar and whisk for another 30 seconds.
• Place the mixture over the simmering water and whisk constantly for 3 to 5 minutes, or until there is a clear line that is drawn in the mixture when you pull your whisk through, or the mixture coats the back of a spoon.
• Remove the bowl from over the pan and gradually add the butter, 1 piece at a time, and whisk until all of the butter is incorporated. Place the bowl back over the simmering water occasionally so that it will be warm enough the melt the butter. Add the salt, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper. Serve immediately or hold in a thermos to keep warm.

Steps:

• Cut the lobster in half lengthwise. Remove the small, opaque clumps of tissue located next to the eye. Do not remove anything else from the lobster; the juices and the roe are what give the sauce its flavor. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil and garlic and cook for a few minutes. Do not let the garlic burn or it will leave a bitter taste. Add the lobster flesh side down and cook until the roe is firm, about 1 minute. Add the white wine, tomato sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook a few minutes more until all the ingredients blend together. Add the chopped parsley and salt, to taste. Do not overcook the lobster; it will become tough. Add the sauce and lobster to the cooked linguini and serve immediately.
