Chipotle
in Adobo:
This canned condiment consists of dried, smoked
jalapenos in a tomato, onion, paprika, and vinegar marinade. I like
to puree the mixture and use it as a smoky-spicy ingredient in soup,
dumplings, and sauces. Chipotle in adobo comes in 2- to 3- ounce
cans. It’s wise to puree an entire can, use what you need, and
store the rest for future cooking or use an accompaniment to
burgers, ribs, or similar dishes. The puree will last for months.

Sweet Potato Soup recipe for a great way to use Ginger!

Quite
frankly, many people are intimidated by Asian cooking. I, for one, am of
course on a mission to let people know otherwise! They should roll up
their sleeves, whip up easy dishes and let the mouth-watering Asian aromas
waft through their homes. Asian cooking is such fun! Maybe some people are
hesitant because they haven’t heard of the ingredients or the dishes
just “sound” too exotic. This section is designed to take some of the
mystery out of Asian cuisine. Once you know what you’re cooking with and
you feel comfortable chopping, dicing, or pouring it, you can tackle any
recipe!
