Pesto alla Siciliana
This is the recipe for the authentic pesto from Sicily. It combines a traditional pesto with Sicilian delights: ricotta cheese and tomatoes. It has a light and refreshing flavor. Enjoy it with tubular pasta so the pesto finds its way inside the tubes for a burst of Sicilian flavor with every bite! Seeding the tomatoes first allows the mixture to be thicker so it sticks better to the pasta.
Salsa Borracha (Drunk Salsa)
Salsa borracha is a special salsa that you can serve with Mexican tacos, fajitas, chicken, or over eggs. I am from Mexico and we love it. Leave the seeds in the peppers for a spicier salsa. Viva Mexico!
Mom's Candied Yams with Caramel
I took my mom's childhood candied yam recipe and added a layer of caramel. It is now a must at every Thanksgiving and Christmas and is often requested with much anticipation by anyone who has had it. One recipe will serve 6, but barely. I promise there won't be leftovers. If you're going to feed 6 or more, I suggest doubling the recipe in a 9x13-inch pan.
