This colorful salsa spices up any winter meal. Serve it with bean dishes, egg dishes, or tortilla chips.
Agent Orange Habanero Sauce
This is a seriously hot sauce; use it with caution. Keep away from pets, open flames, unsupervised children, drunks, and scoundrels.
Red Nose Punch
While Red Nose Punch is a traditionally a Christmas libation, you can make it whenever you want and if the department stores are to be believed, Christmas season starts in like September now, so there you go.
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.
Pineapple-Mango Salsa Soup
Here’s a cold soup with a wonderfully fruity taste. It nicely combines mangos and Scotch bonnet chiles, but you can substitute any fresh chile that you have on hand.
Avocado-Tomatillo Sauce
Tart tomatillos, hot jalapeños, fresh lime, and sweet honey, all bound together with the creaminess of avocado, make this one a favorite sauce. Try it with any rich fish, like swordfish, salmon, mackerel, or bluefish.
