  1. While I was at the cookin' Christine was very generous and shared her
    Smoked Chipotle Chile powder with me. Chile powder to live for. Just
    smelling it makes your mouth water.

    I marinated a chicken breast and wing overnight in some fat free
    yogurt with a heaping teaspoon of the chile powder. Chicken in dark
    pink slimy stuff isn't very appealing so I didn't get a photo of that.

    I also had a few trumpet mushrooms left over from last weekend.
    According to the package the mushrooms came in, they keep for 4 or 5
    days in a brown paper bag. I put the left over mushrooms in a lunch
    size brown paper bag and gently placed them in the fridge. Today I got
    them out and sliced them in half lengthwise and drizzled them with
    some olive oil and some freshly diced garlic and let them marinate.

    While the mushrooms were marinating and the chicken was coming to room
    temperature I had "cocktail hour." I sliced up a spirella. It's a
    fresh mozzarella roll with prosciutto and basil. I get this at Trader
    Joe's
    I added some salami, olives, both kalamata and almond stuffed green
    and a few Wasa crackers. I ate this with a glass of Sangoivese that I
    bought at Ft Bowie Vineyards in Ft. Bowie AZ. Deeelicious...

    Chipotle chicken is ready to bake.

    Once the chicken was done I broiled the marinated mushrooms while the
    chicken was resting. See the crispy bits of garlic. mmmmm

    I made a simple salad of romaine with cucumber and drizzled it with a
    nice balsamic vinegar and some pecan oil. Fresh green beans were
    zapped for a few minutes in the microwave and dressed with a little
    butter, that's all, and dinner was ready.
    The smoky chipotle flavor was strong enough to give the chicken
    interest but not overpowering. I don't think I'd add any more than I
    did in the marinade.
    I had this with a white wine, Summer Peach, from Ft Bowie Vineyard. It
    was the perfect wine for this dish. The peachy wine was a good
    counterbalance for the smoky spiciness of the chicken and the garlicky
    mushrooms.

    The first of many dishes I'll have fun using the smoky chipotle chile
    in.

    More beautiful pictures and informative reading about your cooking
    adventures.
    I love reading about them.

    When I went to purchase your mushrooms Saturday, alas they were all gone,
    and very few shiitakes left, but I least have shiitakes once a week.

    Thanks again for posting.

    Only if you are getting more for yourself. I do have enough to last a
    little while. I have lot of plans for it. ;-)

    This is one thing I wish I would have gotten while I was at The
    Spanish Table. I'm going to order one.

    One thing I was thinking of was using it in a paella, but then I can't
    call it paella. I'll have to re name the dish chipotella or something
    like that. ;-)
    I also want to try making kettle corn with it. I'm thinking of putting
    a little in with the sugar and see how that turns out.
    I'm also going to work on a spice blend or a rub for steaks.
    And I'm going to develop a facial exfoliating rub. Just kidding!!!!

    Koko - that dinner looked wonderful!
    Have a devilled egg-in. Sprinkle a little of that applewood smoked
    chipotle powder on a couple. Mmm good.
    I've not found anything so good down here, I was hopin' next time y'all
    were up in Santa Fe to pick me up a whole packet to my ownself. It's time I
    made some beef jerky and my chipotle recipe is pretty good.

    Get out a can of salted peanuts or any ol' thing like that and sprinkle
    on. Delicioso! And I do like it on popcorn. Chipotle Raspberry bbq sauce is
    pretty common these days.
    Sprinkle some on his earlobe..... But not anywheres else 'cause it'll

    Isn't "Smoky Chipotle" redundant?

    A very unique chile. There are many reasons to shop at Penzeys, and
    the Aleppo chile flakes are at or near the top of the list.

    All chipotles are smoked. That's what makes them chipotles.

    I have the cheap-o McCormick chipotle powder I use for a favorite pork
    tenderloin recipe.

    I must remind myself to branch out/take risks. Try it in chicken dishes, in
    spaghetti sauce, ice cream (peppermint chocolate chip) even! ???

    Yes, Penzey's has chipotle chile powder.

    I've bought it in one-pound bags from Los Chileros de Nuevo
    Mexico several times. About half the price of Penzeys (which
    I hadn't checked before now) but depending on how much
    Penzey's charges for shipping, it might not be that much
    different. (Last time I bought from them, the shipping
    prices from Los Chileros seemed... pretty high.)

    This is the link to their chipotle page:
