Looking for some inspiration, my wife’s out of town this week babysitting he grandmother with dementia, so she’s been eating a lot of very bland, old-white-lady-palate-approved meals (her grandmother once described some jarred vodka sauce as being “too spicy”)
We’re both pretty adventurous eaters and spice-lovers, and I know it’s driving her mad by now, so I figured I’d welcome her home in a couple days with a dinner full of all the biggest flavor bombs I can find
Help me light her taste buds on fire, decimated my spice cabinet, and make my toilet tremble in fear of what is to come.
Jerk chicken. It’s a bomb, in both flavour and heat.
There’s also pira caldo, a fish… stew? soup? using bell peppers, hot peppers, leek, cheese, cilantro. While it’s typically mild, you can make it really hot if you want, and it’s still delicious. (If interested tell me so and I’ll translate the recipe, I couldn’t find good ones in English.)
