Melodee's Hot Wings

Mon, 15 Jul 2002 07:04:34 -0400

I don't remember where I got this recipe, but I have tweaked it here and there over the years. My family likes this version because it is not sloppy wet like so many others out there. However, this recipe can be served wet too. -- posted by Melodee

A Unique & Yummy Salsa!

Tue, 15 Apr 2003 20:01:25 -0400

I am a a stickler for using fresh ingredients so when my boyfriend from 5 years ago made this up for the first time I cringed! Pardon me for saying so, but if I hadn't have been living with him I never would have eaten it! Hahahaha!!!! The boyfriend is long gone but this is the only salsa I'll eat! If you aren't used to cilantro it may take a few minutes to grow on you - it did me. Give it a chance though. It is seriously yummy!! -- posted by Lottidawe

Mango-Avocado Salsa

Tue, 24 Jun 2003 20:01:02 -0400

This is an easy tropical dish that is full of flavor! I like to serve it with chips, or as a side dish. It would be easy to try slightly different versions by adding lime juice, ginger, pineapple, or jalapenos, depending on your personal taste. If you have any other suggestions, I would love to hear them! Thanks! -- posted by Calla Lily

Oven Baked Sweet Plantains

MMMM! I love plantains, especially sweet ones. This is a lower fat method of making "maduros" without the use of oil and frying in a pan. -- posted by Ang11002

Curtido De Repollo - El Salvadorean Cabbage Salad

Fri, 26 Jan 2007 23:28:18 -0500

This spicy Salvadoreno coleslaw is the traditional zesty topping for pupusas (thick corn tortillas stuffed with cheese). You can also try serving it with fish or black beans, inside burritos or on top of quesadillas. -- posted by What's Cooking?

Salsa and seafood unite for a taste bud orgy. This colorful dish was a family recipe I got from a Central American guy I use to work with. -- posted by Cooking for Pleasure

Pepian De Pollo

Found this treasure to use roasted chicken on www.fiery-foods.com - a wonderful site for folks who love to eat & grow chiles. This Guatemalan recipe is listed as "medium" heat scale - adjust it to your preference by starting low & increasing as you go. I roast extra birds when I fire up the BBQ - this recipe is one reason why (& b/c I can't bear to waste the wonderful smokey heat). -- posted by Buster's friend
