Creamed Spinach with Jalapeno Peppers from Home Cooking

Another 5 star; not as spicy as you might guess (but you can fix that if you like). Creamed spinach with a kick! Finger-licking (spoon-licking) good. Has become an annual thanksgiving side, and each time... read more >

Terrific Pacific Cookbook

By Anya von Bremzen, John Welchman
Workman Publishing Company - 1995

This is a brilliant dish! Extremely hard to stop at one or two handfuls; I've sworn I'll stop, washed my hands from spicy oily goodness, and then immediately dove back into the bowl. Very important to use freshly ground spices (which I've done immediately prior, in a little coffee grinder kept for that purpose). I've done it both ways, and I've gotten 10 times the flavor with the freshly ground stuff. I've also definitely burned the spices, by being distracted while heating the oil, and had to start over (a waste of 15 minutes and a peppery, smoky house). With fresh spices, and close watch on the oil, and this starter is insanely delicious and addictive with about 15 minutes of active time. Do it!!!!!
