Savory Hatch Chile and Cheddar Donuts with Raspberry Wine Sauce

So right when you ask for more latke recipes…You think I’d bring you more latkes recipes?? Well, yes of course. There’s a few more coming  later this week, but today we have a new fried lovah in town.

Meet…the savory donut! With wine and cheese, of course. A few of my blogging friends and I wanted to get together this Hanukkah and have a virtual Hanukkah party …you may remember it from last year. But instead of doing the tried and true several course dinner with appetizers and entrees, yada yada…we are staying positively dedicated to Hanukkah fashion and frying! All donuts, all day long! Do ya love it?

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).

Hanukkah Donut Party!

Now have some donut fun and get frying! Here’s what everyone else made for our Hanukkah donut party!

Savory Hatch Chile and Cheddar Donuts with Raspberry Wine Sauce

Servings: 25 donuts
Author: Samantha Ferraro

Ingredients

Donut

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 cups all purpose flour sifted
  • 2 Tb baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cup grated cheddar
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan grated
  • 1/2 cup chopped roasted hatch chiles seeds removed
  • Pinch of cayenne
  • Salt to taste
  • Canola or Vegetable oil for frying
  • Chopped green onion for garnish

Raspberry Sauce

  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 lemon juice and zest
  • Small cinnamon stick about 1/2 inch

Instructions

  • To make the donuts, whisk together the water, milk and eggs together until well combined. Then sift together the flour, salt, cayenne and baking powder.
  • Slowly mix in the dry ingredients with the wet until a dough forms. Then fold in the cheddar and parmesan and chiles until combined.
  • In a medium sized pot, add oil to about 2-3 inches deep. Heat oil to about 350 degrees F or until you can tet it with a piece of dough and it sizzles.
  • Use a cookie scoop to spoon dough into oil and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. When done, remove to a paper toweled lined tray and sprinkle with additional parmesan cheese and chopped green onion for garnish.
  • To make the sauce, add all ingredients to a small pot and boil for 10min until thickened. Then strain through a fine sieve, discarding cinnamon stick and solids and allow to cool.
  • Serve donuts with raspberry sauce.

Sunday Cooking Project: Falafel Bowls!⁠ ⁠ I li Sunday Cooking Project: Falafel Bowls!⁠
⁠
I like to keep it simple and let the perfectly fried falafel shine.⁠
Then fill with all your favorite Mediterranean bites: chopped salad, cubed feta with a good sprinkle of za'atar, creamy hummus and a good drizzle of tahini yogurt sauce. ⁠
.⁠
.⁠
What would you put in your falafel bowl?⁠
.⁠
.⁠
For the full recipe, click on the link in my bio and then on the photo!⁠

⁠
The trick to working with phyllo is to be confident and deliberate! (And to always keep a damp towel over the sheets). ⁠
⁠
Don’t let the phyllo control you..some sheets may crumble and break, but that’s ok, because when it’s all rolled up and stuffed with shallots, cheese and wilted greens, no one will ever suspect. ⁠
⁠
Then sprinkle on a healthy amount of Parmesan, Aleppo and Za’atar, and you my friends have made the most fantastic savory borek. ⁠
.⁠
.⁠
(For the full recipe, head to the link in my bio and click on the photo!)⁠
*Quinoa Beet Salad with Blood Orange, Feta and Pom *Quinoa Beet Salad with Blood Orange, Feta and Pomegranate*⁠
⁠
For when you need a pop of color during these cool winter days. So thankful for bright citrus and pomegranate this season. ⁠
⁠
And this is the perfect 'make ahead' salad. Just toss together:⁠
⁠
*cooked quinoa⁠
*roasted yellow beets⁠
*blood orange segments⁠
*crumbled feta cheese⁠
*pomegranate seeds⁠
*fresh mine leaves (but add right at serving or the herbs will wilt). ⁠
*blood orange vinaigrette⁠
⁠
For the full recipe, click on the link in my bio and then on the photo..easy peezy!⁠
⁠
*Tomahawk Steak with Chimichurri Compound Butter*⁠
⁠
Last minute inspiration and a few tips on making a BOMB steak:⁠
⁠
*Remove steak from fridge at least 20 minutes before cooking.⁠
* Season meat liberally with S+P⁠
* Get your cast iron nice and HOT!⁠
* Sear steak until deeply charred (don't touch it), then flip.⁠
 (This is where you can baste with butter and herbs or finish with a compound butter)⁠
*Once steak is done, let it rest on a cutting board for at least 5-10 minutes.⁠
.⁠

*Vegetarian Mezze Platter*⁠ ⁠ This is the true *Vegetarian Mezze Platter*⁠
⁠
This is the true way to my heart. A simple platter full of all my Mediterranean favorites. ⁠
⁠
*Stuffed grape leaves⁠
*Creamy Hummus⁠
*Whole Castelveltrano olives⁠
*Tangy Labneh⁠
*Fresh Fruit and Vegetables ⁠
⁠
How would you personalize a mezze platter?⁠
*Julia Child's Boeuf Bourguignon*⁠ ⁠ A few yea *Julia Child's Boeuf Bourguignon*⁠
⁠
A few years ago I participated in an international online celebration for Julia Child's 100th birthday. ⁠
⁠
A handful of us cooked a different JC recipe each week for 100 days leading up to her birthday..it was so fun! ⁠
⁠
And Boeuf Bourguignon was the delicious finale. I've since  made it a good few handful of times and found some shortcuts from the original recipe. (Ssh, don't tell Julia). ⁠
⁠
For instance, Julia insists on BOILING the lardons (or bacon) instead of rendering! ⁠
⁠
Have you made this iconic dish? It's well worth the effort, trust me!⁠
⁠

Just a few of the bites we’ll be making at next Just a few of the bites we’ll be making at next weeks virtual cooking class! 

Come cook with me and make some delicious vegetarian mezze on Valentine’s Day! 

We’ll make a cocktail/mocktail too and I’m offering a discount if you refer a friend to come as well!
