what does smoky chipotle crust taste like?
As its name suggests, smoky – both from the paprika and the chipotles, which are smoked, dried jalapeño peppers. These provide plenty of heat, too.
tips, tricks & Hacks
- Pat over chicken or fish before cooking for a spicy, crunchy crust.
- Use as a spicy pangrattato. Just crisp up in a pan with a little olive oil, then scatter over pasta dishes.
- Make arancini from leftover risotto and coat with Smoky Chipotle Crust before frying.
- Sprinkle over vegetable gratins for a crunchy topping.
- Use instead of panko breadcrumbs to add a new dimension to your homemade katsu.
- Scatter over sausage and pasta bakes for an irresistibly crispy topping. Great over mac & cheese, too.
easy Meal idea
Spicy pork schnitzel
For a veggie version, use plump portobello mushrooms in place of the pork. This goes well with fries and a green salad.
1. Place some plain flour in one bowl, beaten egg in another and Smoky Chipotle Crust in a third. Arrange next to the hob and place a large frying pan on a medium-high heat and add a little oil.
2. Dredge pork steaks into the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip them into the egg, allowing excess to run off, then coat all over in the Smoky Chipotle Crust. Add to the pan and cook, turning halfway through, until crisp on the outside and fully cooked within.
