Best Zuni Rolls With Raspberry Chipotle Sauce Recipes

MEAN CHEF'S ZUNI ROLLS WITH RASPBERRY CHIPOTLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Make chipotle sauce: In a small saucepan combine sauce ingredients and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved.
• In a blender or food processor puree sauce and strain through a fine sieve into a bowl.
• Make Zuni rolls: Finely chop scallions.
• Arrange tortillas on a work surface and divide Havarti, turkey, bacon, and scallions evenly between them.
• Drizzle some chipotle sauce over filling and gently roll up tortillas.
• In a lightly oiled skillet toast rolls, starting with seam sides down, over moderately high heat, turning them, until golden on all sides, about 3 minutes.
• Diagonally halve tortillas crosswise and serve remaining sauce separately.
• Can also bake in 350 oven until cheese is melted and they are hot (I usually do them this way).

ZUCCHINI-RONI PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• If you are using jarred red peppers, drain them very well and pat peppers dry with paper towels. Place peppers in a food processor and pulse-grind into a paste. Spread paste in a thin layer on a thin crust shell. Top paste with thin slices of smoked fresh mozzarella cheese.
• Place very thinly sliced zucchini discs in a small bowl and combine with remaining ingredients. Toss discs well to evenly coat with seasonings. The zucchini discs will have a flavor similar to pepperoni. You have just made zucchinironi!
• Arrange your zucchinironi slices around your pie: as little or as much as you like, but do not overlap slices or you pie will be wet.
• Bake directly on oven rack or on a preheated, perforated pizza pan. Bake 10 minutes on the middle rack of preheated oven or, until cheese is bubbly and golden and edges of pizza are crisp.
• Tidbits: How to roast red peppers: To roast in your oven, preheat broiler to highest setting. Halve red peppers and rip out seeds. Place pepper halves, skin side up, on a cookie sheet. Broil peppers until the skins are completely black. Leave the oven door ajar while peppers roast to let steam escape. Place blackened peppers in a large brown paper sack and close tightly. Let peppers stand 10 minutes or until cool enough to handle. Peel skins away from red pepper flesh, and discard skins. To roast peppers on the outdoor grill, leave peppers whole and roast covered over high heat on a gas stove or close to coals. Follow above method to peel.
• If your market does not carry smoked fresh mozzarella cheese, you can substitute 1 1/2 cups of shredded smoked Gouda (the yield of grating about 8 ounces of cheese).
