Caribbean Ginger Pepper Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• In a saucepan, blend the salt, cornstarch, sugar, lime juice and pineapple juice until smooth.
• Mix the water, soy sauce, ginger, jalapeno and cayenne. Gradulally stir into the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sauce is thick and transparent.
• Finish the sauce by stirring in the pineapple chunks, wine and cilantro.
• Serve portions of fish or chicken with a liberal dollop of warm sauce.

Steps:

• Stem and seed habanero peppers, wearing gloves.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Combine habanero peppers, onion, garlic, lime juice, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, tequila, salt, mustard powder, and allspice in a blender; puree until smooth.

Steps:

• Wearing disposable gloves, and being careful not to get any in your eyes or on your skin, roughly chop the habanero peppers. Place the habanero peppers, mango, onion, green onions, and garlic into a blender. Pour in the vinegar, lime juice, and vegetable oil, cover the blender, and pulse until the mixture is very finely chopped. Stop the blender, and add dry mustard powder, salt, curry powder, and lime zest. Blend again until the sauce is smooth. Pour into clean jars, and store in refrigerator.

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix together chicken, black beans, onions, corn, cilantro, jalapeño peppers, rice and Jamaican jerk seasoning.
• On each tortilla, spoon about 1/3 to 1/2 cup chicken mixture just below center. Fold two sides of tortillas over filling. Fold over top and bottom edges of tortillas, making rectangles; secure with wooden picks.
• On greased baking sheet, place tortillas, folded side down. Spray chimichangas with cooking spray and bake in 425°F oven for 15 minutes, turning once.
• Remove picks and serve with mango pepper dipping sauce.
• Mango pepper dipping sauce: In medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients. Store in refrigerator until chimichangas are finished baking. Whisk again just before serving.
• For my friends who are also doing the WW Core program, this can be easily modified to meet the program. First, use brown not white rice. In making the sauce, use a lesser amount of water in place of the nectar. Also, skip the brown sugar or use Splenda. Now your only non-Core ingredient are the tortillas. Count points for those. I used a fat free version that was 3 points for 2 tortillas. If you are saving points, it's a wonderful entree salad with a fruity mango dressing.
