2sticks buttersalted (if using unsalted, add ¼ tsp. salt)
1cupmixed nuts(walnuts and pecans) toasted
2eggs
½cupgranulated sugar
½cupbrown sugar
½cupflour
1cupsemi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
1 9inchunbaked pie shell
Instructions
First, make your ancho puree. Remove seeds and stem from one ancho chile. Put it in a saucepan with about 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until ancho is tender. Place in a food processor to puree.
Melt butter and let cool to warm - do not let it cool completely. It needs to be warm enough to melt the chips when you add them.
In a small mixing bowl, beat eggs well. Beat in both sugars, then add flour and stir until smooth. Add warm butter, chocolate chips, chile puree and nuts. The warmth of the butter should melt the chips (in my case, it melted most of them).
Pour filling into unbaked crust and bake at 325 degrees F. for 45 to 60 minutes (mine took 45) or until done. Let cool completely.
