Peanut butter gives this delicious soup its creamy texture and adds protein. If you love a little heat, double the cayenne pepper. A sprinkling of peanuts makes an attractive garnish, if desired.
This unusual veggie-packed pizza is covered with a creamy mushroom mixture and lemony arugula. The crisp salad topping adds freshness and lightens up the texture. Serve sprinkled with freshly ground pepper.
Thinly sliced cappocola (spicy cured pork) from the deli counter adds colourful curls to the top of this spinach-and-red-pepper quiche. In a pinch, you can use chopped prosciutto instead.
Espelette chili powder is a quintessential spice found in the Basque region of Spain. A good substitute is a combination of sweet and smoked paprika and cayenne pepper, which we've used here.
A classic from Spain’s Catalonia region, Romesco Sauce is made with tomatoes, red peppers, almonds and garlic. Traditionally served with grilled fish or poultry, it makes a tasty sandwich topping or dip, too.
This sauce has a bit of heat to it. For those who prefer things mild, decrease the hot pepper flakes to 1/4 tsp. Serve with pasta to soak up the piquant sauce.
A quick cilantro sauce adds bold zesty flavour to both the shrimp and potatoes. For an extra hit of heat, sprinkle the rapini with thin slices of the remaining chili pepper before serving.
Kabobs pair nicely with rice, noodles and new potatoes. To vary the flavours, you can replace the green pepper with 12 small cremini or white mushrooms or 1 zucchini, cut into 12 pieces.
Black beans are a great source of fibre and are delicious when combined with southwestern ingredients in a salad. To kick it up a notch, add a diced seeded jalape?o pepper.
