Apricot Salsa
This apricot salsa recipe was part of a recipe challenge that worked out quite well. Nice heat from the habanero and lovely sweetness from the apricots and pineapples.
Beef Tinaktak
Tinaktak (pronounced tee-nack-tack) may have originated from the sound of chopping meat: tak! tak! tak! It is one of Guam's favorite comfort foods and definitely a favorite of mine since it is so simple to make yet yields a tasty dish! Serve over hot steamed rice (white or brown).
Pisco Sour II
This is a typical Chilean drink served at every party in Chile (also served before lunch or dinner). This is my mother's version and although there are may be as many versions of it as there are Chileans in Chile, I think this is the best!
