--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2       ts           Ancho puree*
    1/2   lb           Butter
    1/2   c            Chopped walnuts
    1/2   c            Chopped pecans
  2                    Eggs
    1/2   c            White sugar
    1/2   c            Brown sugar
    1/2   c            Flour
  1       c            Semisweet chocolate chips
                       9 inch unbaked pie shell

 *For ancho puree: Ancho chiles, which are dried
 poblanos, are dark brown peppers found in the produce
 section. Remove seeds and stem from one ancho chile
 pepper. Place ancho in a small saucepan with water to
 cover. Bring to a boil and simmer until ancho is
 tender. Puree in a food processor.

 Melt butter and let cool to warm. Toast pecans and
 walnuts until lightly brown. Beat eggs well and then
 add sugars and flour. Beat until smooth. Add warm
 butter and mix well. (It is important for butter to be
 warm so chocolate chips will melt some.) Add chile
 puree. Stir in nuts and chocolate chips. Pour filling
 into pastry shell and bake at 325 degrees for 45 to 60
 minutes until done.
