Chocolate Flan with Saffron, Chili and Blood Orange Compote

Rinse the chili pepper and cut in half. Remove the seeds and cut into rings or strips. Be careful to wear rubber gloves, as the chili juice will stick to your fingers for a long time. Heat half a coffee cup of white wine or water in a saucepan and infuse the chili for five minutes.

Cut the dark chocolate into pieces and melt in a water bath. Pour the whipped cream into a large enough bowl. Stir the melted cooking chocolate with three tablespoons of whipped cream. If the chocolate is too thick, carefully reheat in a water bath. Gradually add the remaining whipped cream.

Grate the zest of an untreated lime or lemon. Whisk the seven egg yolks briefly with a mixer and pour through a sieve into the chocolate mixture. Add lime zest, the scraped pulp of half a vanilla bean, sugar and saffron and stir through. Season drop by drop with the chili infusion or Tabasco.

Pour the chocolate cream into ramekins and cook in a bain-marie at 130 °C for 25 to 30 minutes until the mixture is set.

Meanwhile, fillet six blood oranges, squeeze four more. Pour the juice through a sieve into a wide saucepan or frying pan and cook until it starts to become syrupy. Stir ice-cold butter pieces into the fruit sauce to bind it and briefly toss the orange fillets in it. Do not make the sauce again while doing this.
