Savory Hatch Chile and Cheddar Donuts with Raspberry Wine Sauce

Latkes get all the attention during Hanukkah like my Latke Bar with Toppings, but here is a new savory treat for you to try.

Meet...the savory donut! Filled with hatch chiles, savory cheddar cheese and topped with a healthy dusting of grated Parmesan. And what goes best with cheese? Well wine of course! Or in this case, a raspberry wine sauce to dip the savory donuts into.

Savory Hatch Chile and Cheddar Donuts with Raspberry Wine Sauce

Now you know me (and I hope you do by now), that I have a very front savory tooth. I'd take a plate of falafel over cake any day. So of course I have to savory-fy the donut! I did it last year with my Swiss chard sufganiyot (very good combination of flavors if you decide to try) and did it again this year. Trust me and go there.


Wine and cheese is everything you need. And then some spicy hatch chiles, because if you love spice, this will make everything nice (too corny for ya?, Ya me too). These savory donuts are fried to golden perfection and studded with pieces of hatch chile and cheddar cheese throughout the dough. Next time I may STUFF the donut with cheese (Joey suggestion).

Savory Hatch Chile and Cheddar Donuts with Raspberry Wine Sauce

To counteract the spice and savory factor, I made a simple sweet raspberry wine dipping sauce. Easy and not too sweet...add it all to a pot and reduce and then save some for ice cream later (another one to trust me about).
