Peruvian Pisco Sour

Tue, 31 Jul 2007 15:27:00 -0400

Pisco is a clear brandy that is popular in both Peru and Chile. The white muscat grapes, from which pisco is distilled, were first grown in Peru by the Spaniards in the 16th century (at that time Peru & Chile were both part of Spains American empire.) When they became independent countries, both claimed the liquor as their own. Therefore the national drink of both Peru and Chile, is the rich Pisco Sour. However there is a difference in sweetness and the fruit used between the two countries piscos. I have posted both recipes so be sure to try the Chilean Pisco Sour as well. -- posted by NcMysteryShopper

Aztec South American Chocolate and Chilli Glazed Pork Strips

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 23:39:18 -0400

A fabulous combination of heat and sweet makes this chilli and chocolate glazed pork a real winner. And, this Sophie Grigson recipe uses a very cheap cut of pork, so it makes a very economical meal; however, the unusual and exciting flavours would make this a great dinner party dish. Serve with assorted stir-fried vegetables, relishes and sauteed potatoes. The Aztec's were famous for using chocolate in their cooking, both savoury and sweet - and the addition of a good quality chocolate adds a deep and delicious dimension to this humble cut of belly pork. -- posted by French Tart

Turron De Dona Pepa

Sat, 31 May 2008 01:02:57 -0400

Turron is a nougat candy, known for at least 500 years in Spain. It probably originated with the Moors, but came to be typically eaten as a Christmas treat. The Spaniards carried it to their colonies, where many local variations developed. Turron de Dona Pepa is associated with the city of Lima and its Senor de los Milagros (Lord of Miracles) festival. Dona Pepa was an african slave who received the recipe in a dream after being cured of paralysis in her arms. This version is from yanuq.com. -- posted by realbirdlady
