Southwestern Wagyu Beef Wontons With Lime Chipotle Crema Recipes

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or skillet, brown beef well in oil. After the beef is cooked, remove and put into a deep pot. Add the garlic and mix well. Add water, tomatoes, lemon, onions, salt, pepper, and sugar. Mix well and simmer 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add carrots, potatoes, cloves, and crushed basil leaves. Cover, and cook until vegetables are tender. Add canned peas, and cook until they are heated through, about 4 minutes. If necessary, to thicken gravy, thicken with flour, dissolved in water. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a bowl with an immersion blender or in a regular blender. Make sure all ingredients have fully blended, no lumps. Serve or chill for later - will thicken slightly.
• Notes:.
• This is a recipe that really flexes to personal taste.
• Add a little zest unless you like a lot - then add more.
• Start with juice from half the lime , one garlic and one chipotle, ziz it up, then add what you like more of - I like 1 chipotle, 2 garlic and juice from the whole lime and zest from half a lime, but lime sizes vary greatly and so does how much juice you get. You want a tangy, garlicky crema with some pow from the chipotle.

Steps:

• Heat heavy large pot over high heat. Add beef; sauté until cooked through, breaking up meat with spoon, about 8 minutes. Transfer to large bowl. Add onions and garlic to same pot. Sauté until onions are tender, 8 minutes. Add chili powder. Sauté until fragrant, 3 minutes. Add beef, broth, tomatoes, stout and chilies. Cover partially; simmer until chili is thick, stirring often, about 1 hour 10 minutes.
• Gradually stir cornmeal into chili. Stir in beans. Simmer until heated through. Season generously with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm over medium heat.)
• Whisk sour cream, lime juice and lime peel in small bowl. Season with salt.
• Spoon chili into bowls. Spoon lime crema atop chili. Serve with chips.

Steps:

• PREPARING THE FULLBLOOD WAGYU WONTONS: Lay out the wonton wrappers, 6-8 wrappers at a time (too many at once will cause them to dry out).Put 1 tablespoon (about half an ounce) of the cooked/pulled Fullblood Wagyu beef into the center of each wonton.Using your index finger dipped in the water, wet all 4 edges of the wontons. Fold the wonton diagonally to make a triangle, and press forcefully to create a seal.Pick up your newly formed triangle, and fold the most acute corners around your finger, making them touch, and then press to seal. Set aside.Continue this process until you've completed all of the Fullblood Wagyu beef wontons.
• PREPARING THE LIME CHIPOTLE CREMA: Remove the liquid from the chipotle peppers en adobo (reserve the actual peppers for later use). You'll only need the liquid for this recipe.Combine the liquid from the chipotle peppers, sour cream, and juice from 2-3 limes in a mixing bowl.Whisk together all ingredients.Season to taste with a pinch of salt and a pinch of sugar.
• FINAL STEPS: Pour 8 cups of vegetable oil in your pot (for frying) or tabletop fryer. Fry the wontons, a few at a time, at 350°F until they are golden and crispy (it usually takes 2-3 minutes per batch). Continue frying the wontons in batches until all of of the Fullblood Wagyu beef wontons are cooked.Place 4 wontons on each plate or bowl, whichever you prefer.Serve the Southwestern Fullblood Wagyu wontons with the lime chipotle crema, and enjoy!
