Success: Chile-Chocolate-Cherry Bread



I just entered this into Central Market's Hatch Chile recipe contest because it tastes GOOD.

To make it, use my banana bread recipe, substituting roasted, skinned, and finely chopped chiles for the bananas. Leave out the vanilla. Replace the pecans with 3/4 cup each of dried tart cherries and semi-sweet chocolate chips.

You'll get anything from a mild warmth to an obvious heat, depending on how many of the chiles you leave unseeded.

Amazing with a glass of ice-cold milk!

Ooo, that sounds fantabulous! Think I could put some zucchini in too? (must...get...rid..of...zucchini) Hope you win.

Yes! You could substitute zucchini for any percentage of the chiles. If you do, you could probably decrease the oil -- you'll have enough moisture from the zucchini.
