Miguel's Jalapeno White Sauce and Gazpacho


You better watch it, or you'll ruin your dinner!  You know when you go to a Mexican restaurant, and they bring out the warm tortilla chips and salsa.  You start munching away and pretty soon you're thinking, "I've got to stop, or I won't be able to eat my meal."   Same thing happens with this sauce/dip.  You just have to keep reaching for it.  It's addicting. 

It can be either a dip or a sauce.  I've had it both ways--just with tortilla chips and used as a sauce for chicken enchiladas.  It's super good.  


Miguel's Jalapeno White Sauce

What you'll need:

2 cups whipping cream
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp chicken base
2 tbsp. clarified butter (I just used room temperature butter.)
1 tbsp. flour
1 jalapeno, minced (I seeded the jalapeno just to make sure that it wouldn't be too hot.)
1 tbsp juice from bottled jalapenos
2 oz shredded cheese - equal parts Monterey jack and cheddar

For the method, you can go to the cooking forum where I discovered the recipe:

Thank You!


The gazpacho was made with (from greatest to least amounts, no real recipe): V-8, roma tomatoes, celery, cucumber, red onion, cilantro, red wine vinegar, evoo, seasoning salt, and topped with diced avocado. Normally I add some croutons and a little sour cream to the top, but with the jalapeno sauce and chips, I decided to skip that.
