GOAT CHEESE--EDAMAME DIP WITH SPICED PEPITAS
Thanksgiving 2008 is around the corner for our Thanksgiving Dinner for about 350 people, give or take a few. Canned chipotles in adobo sauce give this clever, creamy dip an enticing heat and smokiness. The spiced pepitas scattered over the dip are addictive and great as a snack on their own. With Halloween around the corner - we can have pepitas, pepitas, and more pepitas!! This is fast/can be made-ahead/it is a staff favorite/& vegetarian. Cooling time is 1 hour. Recipe by Rachel Soszynski, from: Ultimate Thanksgiving Planner: Time Saving Tips - Food & Wine Magazine, November 2008 edition. Serve with any of my recipe #146950, or recipe #190801, or recipe #174467 - just a slight hint!!

Steps:
- Put the seeds and nuts in a frying pan, then gently heat to toast them, removing them from the heat when the seeds start to pop and give off their aroma. Grind fairly coarsely using a pestle and mortar, then season with a little salt.
- Beat the goat's cheese with the milk to soften it, then add a little seasoning if needed. Tip half into a small bowl (glass, if you have one, to show off the layers) and scatter with half the seeds and a few torn mint leaves. Repeat the layer and serve with a bowl of cold radishes and toasted pittas or bread.
