Jalapeno

Cubes of pork shoulder meat are browned, then cooked in a pressure cooker with poblano, jalapeno, and serrano peppers, onions, and spices to make tender seasoned meat that's perfect for tacos.  

Chimichurri--a South American condiment--is traditionally a combination of olive oil, vinegar, parsley, garlic salt and peppers. It has become the trendy sauce on many restaurant menus, and home cooks are discovering how much zip it can add to steaks, seafood or poultry, or as a fantastic sandwich spread. This Latin American fusion version features Chilean Hass Avocados, which add rich flavor and creamy texture. 

This favorite Chilean sandwich from Chef Ruth Van Waerebeek is indeed a meal in a bun. You get meat, vegetables and fruit, all seasoned with traditional herbs and spices and spiked with jalapeno peppers. Another Chilean favorite is The Churrasco o Lomito - thin slices of marinated, sauteed beef or pork loin (lomito), topped with sliced tomatoes, avocado spread and mayonnaise. You can find thin sliced chuck or top round for this sandwich in most meat cases, or have the butcher slice it for you. 

This is an easy cream cheese spread to make, and it tastes just like the jalapeno poppers you wish you could make yourself! The hardest part of this recipe is not eating it all by yourself! 

Jalapeno pepper halves are stuffed with cheese and sausage. You will love this spicy appetizer treat! 

Jalapenos, Parmesan cheese and Cheddar cheese are baked into a sourdough bread bowl to create this spicy dip.
