I used red jalapeños, shallot, garlic, a bit of tomato for sweetness, salt, and black pepper. I puréed everything together then simmered on the stove. I let cool, strained with a fine mesh sieve, and put in my little 2-ounce jar. It’s a very mild sauce but great flavor!

Salad base: spring mix, cilantro, scallions, shallots, cucumbers, carrots

Meatballs: ground chicken, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, lime zest, lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, black pepper, olive oil

Dressing: fish sauce, lime juice, water, garlic, serrano peppers

One of my favorite dishes is misir wat. I didn't have the ingredients to make it super traditional with the niter kibeh, a spiced clarified butter. I also added ginger and serrano peppers, which aren't traditionally included ingredients.

Ingredients include ghee, red onion, garlic, ginger, serrano peppers, tomato paste, berbere (an Ethiopian spice blend), red lentils, chicken broth, and salt.

I rarely feel lonely thanks to this little guy. He’s like my shadow and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Recently discovered this yuzu pepper sauce at my local market and it blew me away. It’s so good! I went through a single bottle within a week so I had to stock up on a few at a time to last me at least a month. The bright citrus flavor of the yuzu paired with chili peppers is magnificent.
