Pine Nut-Orange Caramel Sauce
Delicious over vanilla ice cream.
Parsley-Almond Pesto
Here's a versatile pesto. It's great with goat cheese as an appetizer, mixed with balsamic vinegar as a vinaigrette, spread on sandwiches, tossed with steamed carrots, or mixed with a little cream and chicken broth and served over pasta.

Chili con Queso
When my mother prepared this gloriously cheesy, spicy dip, the smells from the kitchen would waft throughout the house and drive us all crazy with anticipation. It's a perfect appetizer for guests, so if Mom was making it, that usually meant company for dinner, football Sundays, or a full-blown party (which wouldn't be complete without someone desperately licking the bowl clean).
Argentine Red Sauce
(Chimichurri Rojo)
This vibrant sauce/marinade is a nice variation on the classic Chimichurri Verde. A sort of Argentine Worcestershire, it is slightly more herbaceous. Try marinating some chicken pieces in this sauce (in a nonreactive dish) for a few hours before cooking them.
This recipe is a component of Barbecued Steak Brazilian-Style, with Garlicky Marinade and Dipping Sauce .

Makes use of a microwave.
Rum Dulce de Leche
Throughout the Spanish-speaking world, thickened sweetened milk is a regular feature at dessert time (and, like all treats, whenever Mom isn’t looking). Though not difficult to make from scratch on top of the stove, the use of condensed milk eliminates the need for constant stirring. Be sure to check the water level in the pan about halfway through cooking; if it’s low, carefully add a little more.
