- Serve on bread (Chacarero's sandwhich i posted) or on top of grilled meats.

This recipe is virtually identical to one my brother learned from his host mother while he was studying in Chile during college. He omits the water, but uses a tablespoon and a half each of vinegar, lemon juice, and olive oil. Very hot and delicious! I love it on bread, as suggested in this recipe, but it also makes a killer addition to chicken soup (like Chilean Cazuela), or just about anything you want to kick up a notch.

Hi, what a great website! I am 40 (still can't believe it) and tired of making great food when i am dating someone, so here I am, "spicing" up my life for a change. I own my own small business for 11 years now and am cutting back to enjoy the finer things in life "eating"! There are so many exquisite flavors from different cultures and grandmothers etc. i love it all! I really love passing on great information and it seems that people at this site will really appreciate it so i'm excited to be here.
