Achiote Paste

This is a traditional paste that originated in the Yucatán region of Mexico. It is used in stews or as a rub for meats. Try it on pork, chicken, fish or seafood for a warm, spicy flavour.

Alioli (All i oli)

Recipe by: Aureli

Be the first to review it!

This is a popular Catalan garlic sauce that goes very well with grilled meat and roasted pepper and aubergine (Escalivada). I have seen many spellings for this (i.e. alioli, aioli...) but the real name is "All i Oli" - from the Catalan for Garlic and Oil - and these 2 are the only ingredients although there are variations and some places add egg to ensure the consistency of the sauce, which with our without egg should look like mayonnaise.

Recipe by: YULANDA_US

Apple purée gives this sauce a rich thick texture that coats meat well. It has a sweet spicy flavour, excellent on chicken or pork. It may also be stored in sterile glass jars.

Authentic Arawak BBQ Sauce

Recipe by: Wesley Murks

Be the first to review it!

This is a West Indian marinade that's been used for generations. It's best suited for fish and game, but I also like it on chicken and pork. Make sure you adjust the amount of chillies to your taste. Also, I sometimes replace the orange juice with marmalade for a sweeter marinade.

Authentic Caribbean Chicken Stew

Recipe by: winstono2005

Reviews(3)

This is my favourite Caribbean dish which is very well seasoned (a trademark of Caribbean food) and have always enjoyed it as a child. The sauce should not be as thick as a curry and not too watery if that makes any sense. There are many varieties of this dish and is always best served with rice and peas and West Indian pepper sauce.

This dressing is great with artichokes, asparagus, or green salad, and it's one of the easiest recipes I have! Using a good quality olive oil makes a big difference in this dressing.

BBQ sauce

Recipe by: BOBEVERLY

Be the first to review it!

My mother-in-law gave me this BBQ sauce recipe over twenty four years ago. I use it frequently and someone always asks for it. A mixture of tangy ingredients, onion and brown sugar creates a tasty sauce! This will keep in the fridge for several weeks.

Boniet

Recipe by: The Iron Chef-SuziQ

Reviews(1)

Pronounced 'bun-yet,' this is an old Italian recipe from my Nonie's kitchen. It is made using mainly parsley and garlic and is meant to be eaten with crusty warm bread. It is almost sinful to share this secret recipe with the world, but I know you'll love it as much as my family and I do. Refrigerate overnight for best flavour.

Butternut squash and sage risotto

I invented this last night to use up a sad old sweet potato and bag of pureed squash that's been in the freezer for months! Luckily it was pretty good...

Canadian Barbecue Sauce

Recipe by: GYPSIE8

Be the first to review it!

"This flavourful barbecue sauce for ribs is just like the kind they serve at a famous restaurant in Montreal, Quebec, that has people lining up on the street any given night of the week. Don't' skip the lemon juice or cinnamon. Simmer the leftover sauce until sugar is completely dissolved and serve on the side for those who like their ribs dripping with flavour."

Cannellini Bean and Coriander Dip

Recipe by: littlejessi

Serve this delicious, garlicky and herby dip with pitta, tortilla crisps or wheat crackers.

Cara's Corn Chip Chilli Lasagna

Recipe by: caraanne

Reviews(1)

An excellent hearty and warming family meal. Can be mildly mouthwatering or hot as you dare. It can also be varied ever so slightly by trying different flavoured corn chips/tortilla chips. Try zingy lime or fragrant chilli varieties to suit your own tastes. I have seen chilli lasagna recipes before but always using pasta sheets which doesn't feel very Mexican to me. Serve with a crisp cooling salad dressed with mint, cucumber, yoghurt or soured cream.
