Barbara's Hot Sauce

Recipe by: BMDSINGLE

Reviews(5)

This American-style hot sauce is inspired by what one finds on the table in the country's many Mexican and Tex-Mex restaurants, and gives just about anything the right amount of spice. You can use this as a table sauce, and spices can be adjusted to taste. Try it on burgers, tacos, barbecued meats and vegetables - the possibilities are endless!

Brazilian Picadillo

Recipe by: JRICE

My favourite aunt introduced me to this deliciously rich and fragrant dish. In the past few years I've made some changes and this is the recipe my family likes best. It's a great chilli con carne alternative and it freezes well. Try it on a jacket potato!

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.

Rabbit stew with coconut cream

Recipe by: YAELIE24

Be the first to review it!

This is an old recipe that comes from Columbia. My family loves when I cook this. Rabbit meat is very low in fat and can be dry tasting, so it marries well with coconut cream. It is best to cook the rabbit gently till it is falling off the bone. Serve with rice.
