Nancy Gerlach provided us with the recipe for this winter squash and apple chowder in her holiday article, Red and Green for the Holidays.
Chile de Arbol Christmas Salad
This is my take on the popular Ensalada de Noche Buena (Christmas Eve Salad) that is served in Mexico.
Ceia de Natal aka Brazilian Christmas Turkey
The marinade suggested in this Ceia de Natal recipe is indigenous to Brazil in that it utilizes one of Brazil’s great ingredients, Cachaça.
Lime Soup with Tortilla Strips and Chile
There are many variations of soup with tortillas throughout Mexico, and this is a variation that is popular in the Yucatán Peninsula.
Serrano Ginger Cranberry Chutney
Where is it written that canned cranberry sauce has to be served with at Thanksgiving? The sweet, sour, hot tastes of this chutney compliments turkey, chicken, and even pork.
Smoked Pumpkin with Kingsford Pellets
Masterbuilt says I shouldn’t use wood pellets in my electric smoker but since rules are for bitches and people with common sense, I ignored that and put Kingsford Wood Pellets right into it.
Pan de Muerto, Bread of the Dead
In Mexico, bakeries advertise different shapes of the bread for the holiday. The most common is round; others might be shapes of human beings, animals, especially rabbits in profile.
