Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 To make the ganache in the microwave: In a microwave safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and heavy cream. Microwave until the chocolate starts to melt, about 1 minute. 2 Stir and continue to microwave at 15-second intervals until smooth.Be careful not to burn the ganache. If it burns, there’s no way to save it. When the ganache is melted and smooth, add the cayenne. 3 To make the ganache on the stovetop: Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water and bring to a simmer over low heat. 4 Add the chopped chocolate and cream to a heatproof glass bowl. Place over the saucepan of simmering water; the bottom of the bowl should not touch the water. Stir the ganache mixture until melted. 5 Once it has melted, remove the bowl from the saucepan, add the cayenne, and stir the ganache until smooth. The ganache can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and reheated when needed 6 To make the caramel: In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda with 1 tablespoon of water and set aside. 7 In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat combine the goat’s milk, sugar, and vanilla. Stir regularly until the milk comes to a simmer and the sugar has dissolved. 8 Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the baking soda and water mixture carefully, continuing to stir to keep the mixture from bubbling over. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook the caramel, stirring regularly, until the mixture turns pale golden, about 20 minutes. 9 To assemble the choco-nachos: Dip each tortilla chip in melted ganache halfway. Repeat this step for all 16 chips, placing them on a wire cooling rack to allow the ganache to set. 10 Once the ganache has set, drizzle the cajeta over each chip.

Food Trivia

Eating an early dinner, or just skipping it altogether, may increase the amount of fat a person burns at night, a study found.

Food Joke

Surprise, surprise Rabbi Landau has always been secretly sad that he`s never been able to eat pork. So one day, he flies to a remote tropical Island and books into a hotel. “No one will find me here,” he said to himself. On the first evening, he goes to the best restaurant and orders the ‘roast pork special’. While he’s waiting, he hears someone call his name. Rabbi Landau looks up and sees one of his congregants walking towards his table. What unbelievably bad luck – the same time to visit the same restaurant on the same island! Just at that moment, the waiter puts on his table a whole roasted pig with an apple in its mouth and says, “Your special, sir.” Rabbi Landau looks up sheepishly at his congregant and says, "Would you believe it - you order an apple in this restaurant and look how they serve it!"
