Isa's Cola de Mono

SUBMITTED BY: Wonder Wanda 

This is a traditional Chilean Christmastime drink of milk flavored with coffee and spices, passed down to me by our Chilean nanny Isa. It is delicious, and a must-try if you don't care for egg-nog. The recipe can be varied to suit your tastes - be creative with the proportions of coffee, cinnamon, cloves, and vanilla, as well as with your choice of liqueurs.

Bolivian Saltenas

Living In: Burke, Virginia, USA
Like empanadas, these hand-held baked pastries are filled with spiced meat (beef or chicken) and vegetables. They make great appetizers, snacks, or lunches. 

Brazilian-Style Beef Ribs

Submitted by: AndAQT2 
Home Town: Chicago, Illinois, USA
Beef ribs are slowly oven-roasted with salt in the Brazilian style, to yield tender results from an often-overlooked cut of meat.  

Arroz Tapado (Rice-On-Top)

Submitted by: Katie 
It looks complicated, but this fun Peruvian dish is just assembled from layers of cooked rice and a seasoned ground beef and vegetable mixture pressed into a bowl, then turned out. It's a whole new way to experience some basic pantry items.

Red Pepper Chimichurri

Submitted by: chel79 
Home Town: Santa Maria, California, USA
Living In: Lakeville, Minnesota, USA
This fresh and tasty vegetarian sauce made with red peppers, parsley, and oregano is an extremely versatile condiment. Great on sandwiches, used in place of enchilada sauce or salsa, or used as a marinade. This simple recipe makes a large quantity that can be kept refrigerated for 2 weeks. 

Torta De Hojas

Submitted by: ILIKECAKES 
Called 'Cake of Leaves,' this cake has 10 cookie layers sprinkled with brandy, then separated by walnuts and caramel. The caramel filling is made by boiling unopened cans of sweetened condensed milk until thickened. 

Ensalada Roja con Pollo (Red Salad with Chicken)

Submitted by: Laurie Gonzales 
Living In: Bremerton, Washington, USA
My Venezuelan mother-in-law taught me to make this chicken salad. Don't let the 'red' part, which comes from beets, scare you away! I usually just throw this together with however much I have of the ingredients, so trying to figure out measurements is a challenge.
