This is the sauce that is traditionally served over smoked ribs in 
Memphis and other parts of Tennessee. Some cooks add prepared yellow 
mustard to the recipe. It can be converted into a basting sauce by 
adding more beer and a little more vinegar. Add more hot sauce to taste, 
or substitute red chile or cayenne powder.

Mongolian Asian Noodle Salad

Sambal is becoming more common, a spicy Malaysian chile paste that is widely used for a lot of Asian cuisine. You can find it in the Asian food aisle of any well-stocked grocery store. A generally straightforward mix of chiles, salt and vinegar (some have garlic and/or sugar), sambal can best be described as an Asian harrissa. It’s different from Sriracha in that it is nice and chunky with lots of seeds and bits of chile. It makes for a great shortcut to Arrabbiata and here’s the simple way to do it.

This is a classic Louisiana recipe with French roots. It’s traditionally 
made with mayonnaise, but mine is a more heart-healthy version. This 
sauce is great with shrimp, over sliced tomatoes, with pasta, over 
vegetables and cold meats, in chicken or potato salad, or as an 
ingredient in deviled eggs.

This particular version of sangrita, or "little bloody drink," comes
from Chapala, Mexico, where the bartenders have not succumbed to the
temptation of adding tomato juice to this concoction, as the
norteamericanos do. The bloody color comes from the grenadine, so this
is truly a sweet heat drink that is also salty. Some people take a sip
of tequila after each swallow of sangrita, while others mix one part
tequila to four parts sangrita to make a cocktail.

Here’s a soup that’s fast and easy to make. It depends almost entirely on the flavor of the fresh snow pea, one of nature’s great vegetables.
