From the little village of Chimayó, New Mexico comes what many chileheads consider to be the finest tasting red chile. We use it in our enchilada sauces and for making rubs such as this one.
Spicy Lentil Stew with Killer Sausage
This stuff freezes well, it’s hearty, and you can adjust the heat level easily up or down, simply by adding more or less fresh habanero chile.
Chicken Satay with Spicy Wild Blueberry Peanut Butter Sauce
This recipe for Chicken Satay with Spicy Wild Blueberry Peanut Butter Sauce came to us from the North American Blueberry Association.
Basic Sambalan Chile Paste
This Malaysian paste is the culinary equivalent of harissa in North Africa and berbere in Ethiopia. Its most common use is in making quick main dishes.
Habanero Cinnamon Ketchup
Yes, you can buy spicy ketchup at the store but there’s something to be said for concocting your own take on it at home, too. We like this version as a great way to spice up anything else you’d blorp with ketchup.
Pakoras Shikarbadi-Style
These pakoras are some of the easiest Indian snacks to make. You can use any vegetable you like, but we recommend the softer vegetables such as peppers, eggplant, onions, and thinly sliced potatoes.
Chiles Rellenos Stuffed with Corn
This approach to chiles rellenos utilizes another wonderful New World food—corn.
