Cocoa Chile Blend
(used on/with some roasted eggplant and tomato)
Very Good
Wt.: ~ .3 oz. (8.5 g.)/2 oz. (56 grams) in total jar

Today is day #3 of chocolate & vegetable week on the blog.

For dinner I made some roasted eggplant and one tomato (one each) with a dash of lemon juice - and about a teaspoon of this cocoa chile seasoning. (My apologies for the low-res scanned image of the jar (above right).) This spice blend is a mix of cocoa powder, chipotle pepper, sugar, and paprika. It was quite tasty.
