Goat Cheese Pasilla Dip
Today I am sharing the simplest of recipes to start off your next party. This Goat Cheese Pasilla Dip is amazing. It is creamy but with a little kick and the subtle flavor of pepitas. While in Napa last fall I bought a jar of this delicious Jalapeño Jam. I have used a teaspoon here or a tablespoon there ever since, to kick up a recipe. It is almost gone so I need to learn how to make or find me another jar!
You can make this ahead of time which is always a plus and seriously, you put all the ingredients into the food processor. It is that easy. Start your next barbecue with this and serve up a few Beer Margaritas or a cold beer. I served baby bell peppers and blue corn chips with it on Memorial Day.
The only time-consuming part is roasting the pasilla. In a time crunch add in canned chilies, though it wouldn’t be as good.
I roasted the pasilla pepper on the gas stove, I was enjoying the beautiful kitchen at my brother and sister-in-law’s, longing for a gas stove again! After you blacken it on all sides, place it in a baggie and let it sit for about 30 minutes. Remove and scrap off the skin. Remove the seed and stem and it is ready.
