SERRANO CHILI AND CILANTRO CORNBREAD MUFFINS



Serrano Chili and Cilantro Cornbread Muffins image

Entered for safe-keeping, Reggie Dwork (bread-bakers) found this on bigoven.com, said they are "moist and chewy, spicy and sweet", so I have to try this! When handling serrano chilies, do not touch your eyes; I wear latex gloves. If you don't like chilie peppers, just saute 1/2 cup onions in 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil and use them in lieu of the chilie peppers.

Time 33m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 small serrano chilies or 2 ounces canned diced green chiles
1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 pinch cayenne
2/3 cup milk or 2/3 cup soymilk
2 large eggs
1/2 cup expeller-pressed canola oil or 1/2 cup grapeseed oil
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup or 3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons soft butter

Steps:

  • BROILER-BLACKENED CHILIES:.
  • Put the chilies on a baking pan on the top rack under the broiler until they blister and turn black. Turn them over and repeat. Remove them from the broiler and drop them into a brown bag to cool. The skin will become loose and flaky as they cool.
  • OPEN-FLAME-BLACKENED CHILIES:.
  • Alternatively, roast the chilies over a flame or over a barbecue grill. Hold the chilies 4" away from the flame and rotate until all sides of the pepper turn black (I would use a grilling basket or a soaked bamboo skewer in case you wanted to use your hands again someday.).
  • MIX:.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. If using cast iron pans (for the best crust), grease them and put them in the oven during preheating.
  • In a large bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, oil or butter, maple syrup or sugar, and the cilantro.
  • Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon until thoroughly mixed.
  • Take the chilies out of the bag and slice them in half, directly down the middle. Open them up. Remove and discard the seeds. Peel off and discard the blistered skin. Cut the chilies into small pieces and stir them into the batter until they are completely mixed inches.
  • Smear a little butter or oil on the bottoms and sides of a 9-inch square baking pan or 12 muffin molds and pour the batter inches
  • Bake 20 minutes if using a muffin pan, or 25 minutes if you're using a baking pan.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool.
  • HONEY BUTTER:.
  • Blend the softened butter and honey in a bowl with a fork, whipping lightly to create a creamy spread. Scoop the spread into a ramekin and serve with the cornbread.
  • PRESENTATION OF SQUARE PAN CORNBREAD:.
  • Make 1 slice directly down the middle of the baking pan and 4 slices across to make 10 rectangular pieces.

They are excellent eaten alone warmed with some butter, or as a side dish to a Southwestern entree. Food as MedicineChilis contain capsaicin, which gives them their characteristic spiciness. Capsaicin inhibits a neuropeptide associated with inflammatory processes, and may be useful against certain inflammatory health conditions.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 small Serrano chilies (or 2 ounces canned green roasted chilies)
1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Pinch cayenne
2/3 cup milk or soy milk
2 large eggs
1/2 cup expeller-pressed canola or grape seed oil or softened butter
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup or sugar
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. 2. Put the chilies on a baking pan on the top rack under the broiler until they blister and turn black. Turn them over and repeat. Remove them from the broiler and drop them into a brown bag to cool. The skin will become loose and flaky as they cool.
  • Mix together all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, eggs, oil or butter, maple syrup or sugar, and the cilantro in a separate bowl.
  • Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon until thoroughly mixed.
  • Take the chilies out of the bag and slice them in half, directly down the middle. Open them up, and remove the eeds and discard. Peel the skin off and discard. Cut the chilies into small pieces and stir them into the batter until they are completely mixed in.
  • Smear a little butter or oil on the bottoms and sides of a 9-inch square baking pan or 12 muffin molds and pour the batter in. Bake 20 minutes if using a muffin pan, or 25 minutes if you're using a baking pan. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  • Make the Honey Butter: Simply blend the softened honey and butter together in a bowl with a fork, whipping lightly to create a creamy spread. Scoop the spread into a ramekin and serve along with the cornbread.
  • Make 1 slice directly down the middle of the baking pan and 4 slices across to make 10 rectangular pieces.
  • ** In light of recent research, Dr. Weil no longer recommends reduced-fat dairy products unless you happen to prefer the taste.
  • Tips from Rosie's Kitchen:
  • The indigenous people of the Southwest used to roast their chile peppers over an open fire. If you're feeling really motivated and have the time to do it, you, too, can roast the chilies over a flame or over a barbecue grill, instead of broiling them. Hold the chilies 4 inches away from the flame and rotate until all sides of the pepper turn black. If you'd like to use an alternative to chile peppers, just sauté 1/2 cup onions in a tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil and use them in place. When handling serrano chilies, do not touch your eyes, because these chilies will sting.
