Sunnys Red Fire Sauce Recipes

SUNNY'S SPICY RANCH DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the dressing, hot sauce and basil in a bowl and mix.
• Serving suggestion: Drizzle over pizza.

SUNNY'S EASY RED WINE PEPPERCORN SAUCE

Steps:

• Crush the peppercorns gently with a mortar and pestle (or place them in a plastic bag and pound them with a mallet).
• In a saucepan on medium heat, add the pepper, red wine, thyme, rosemary and shallot. Bring the liquid to a boil, then lower to the lowest simmer and simmer until reduced by half, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Strain out the solids and return the sauce to the pan over medium heat. Add the butter and whisk until melted. Season with salt. Serve warm.

SUNNY'S RED VELVET TRIFLE PARFAIT

Steps:

• Prepare the red velvet cake according to package instructions, substituting melted butter for the oil. Pour into a 9-by-13-inch cake pan or baking dish and bake according to the package instructions. Let cool completely, then cut into bite-sized chunks (reserve crumbs).
• Gently fold together the whipped topping with the frosting in a bowl. Spoon a dollop into a parfait glass, then sprinkle with candied pecans and walnuts. Top with a few pieces of the cake. Continue layering the frosting mixture, nuts and cake, finishing with a garnish of cake crumbs (tear up additional cake cubes if necessary). Repeat with remaining parfait glasses and serve immediately.

SUNNY'S PUMPKIN AND CHICKEN BITES WITH SUNNY'S CREME FRAICHE DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the filling: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, chicken, celery, garlic, sage, thyme, walnuts, scallions, dried cranberries and Hungarian paprika. Taste, making sure to get a bit of each ingredient in the sample. There should be a nice balance of sweet and savory; adding a nice pinch of salt can bring you to the right place. Stir before tasting again and adjust as needed. Once done with the salt, add a few grinds of black pepper. Add the cheese and stir to combine. Refrigerate until mix is firm and less sticky, about 20 minutes.
• For the wrappers: Wrappers should be packed with paper between each. Remove one wrapper at a time along with the paper and roll and flatten each slightly with a rolling pin. If not packed with paper, roll on a sheet of wax paper. Cut each in half to create 48 half circles. Fill one side of each half with a heaping tablespoon of filling and fold the empty side over the filled side to create a triangle with a curved edge. Then, using the tines of a fork, close both open sides by pressing them together with the top 1/2 inch of the fork. Repeat for the rest.
• In a small bowl whisk the eggs and 1 tablespoon water. Lightly brush one side of each bite and place the brushed side up on a parchment or nonstick aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 24 minutes. Serve with Sunny's Creme Fraiche Dipping Sauce.
• In a food processor, add the creme fraiche, scallions, garlic and hot sauce. Taste the dip and season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Blend again and taste, seasoning again if needed. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving cold.

RED CHILE FIRE AND ICE SAUCE

Steps:

• Add 4 cups of water to a medium pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Put the ancho chiles in a medium bowl and pour in the boiling water. Use a plate to weigh down the chiles so they remain submerged. Soak until softened, about 20 minutes. Add the chiles, garlic, 2 tablespoons of the chile soaking water, and the sour cream to a blender and blitz until smooth. Add more of the soaking water, if needed, for consistency. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a bowl or jar and store covered in the refrigerator.

SUNNY'S SUMMER RED SOUP

Steps:

• Toast the paprika in a small dry pan over medium heat, moving it around in the pan with a wooden spoon until a waft of it smells pungent and alive again, about 4 minutes.
• In a high-powered blender or food processor, combine the watermelon, strawberries, tomatoes, onion and Worcestershire sauce. Blend until smooth and chill.
• To make the garnish, on a cutting board, chop the basil, feta cheese and pine nuts all together until minced and combined. Serve the chilled soup with a sprinkle of the garnish on top.

BREAKFAST ENCHILADAS WITH RED SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• To make the red sauce: Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and salt, and saute until onions start to soften, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, and tomato paste and saute until paste starts to brown, another 4 to 6 minutes. Add tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer until tomatoes break down and sauce thickens, about 20 minutes. Season with salt, to taste.
• To make the turkey sausage: In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients but the oil with your hands. Heat the oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until pan is hot. Add sausage and brown until turkey is almost crispy, breaking up the sausage mixture as it cooks, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
• In a bowl, mix together tomatoes and cilantro. Set aside.
• To scramble the eggs: Whisk the eggs with the milk in a medium bowl. In a fry pan, over medium low heat, melt butter. Add eggs and let sit to form curds, about 30 seconds, then gently move curds around pan, let sit another 30 seconds and repeat until eggs are just cooked, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
• To assemble enchiladas: Grease the baking dish lightly with oil. Heap 2 or 3 large spoonfuls of the turkey sausage into the center of a tortilla. Put another 2 spoonfuls of the egg mixture on top followed by the chopped tomato and 1 tablespoon of each cheese. Roll up tightly and place in the baking dish, seam side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Pour Red Sauce down the middle over tortillas and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake, until cheese is golden and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Serve with dollop of sour cream and Sunny's Refried Beans on the side.
• In a saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic, jalapeno, onion and Sazon. Saute until they start to soften, about 3 minutes. Add 1 can of pinto beans including the liquid in the can. Simmer until beans heat through and soften, another 4 to 5 minutes. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the beans. Drain the second can of pinto beans and add those to the pot. Stir mixture together and cook until beans warm through. Stir in lime juice and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve with Breakfast Enchiladas.
