This essential sauce is adapted from Joseph Wrede, head chef at Joseph’s of Santa Fe. In it we use dried red chiles that we’ll rehydrate and combine with onions, garlic, cumin and coriander for an authentic Red Chile Sauce. In his recipe Chef Joseph uses New Mexico chiles, no doubt. I used Guajillo with a couple of Chipotles…
I recently got a comment from someone asking what a ‘Poblano’ pepper was. I realized that living in Los Angeles, I am spoiled by the ready availability of nearly every type of chile pepper, both fresh and dried. One of our first posts discussed the basic varieties of dried chiles, so here I thought I’d…

It gets rave reviews at all our tastings, so we now bring it to you. She is also working on several new varieties, look for them in…
This is a decadent, simply scrumptious pasta recipe that you can make in the time it takes to boil water and cook the pasta. We had a similar dish at Pizzeria Bianco in Phoenix Arizona, which, arguably, has some of the best pizza in the country. They made this with fresh paparadelle, wide flat homemade noodles.…
Holidays and nuts. They seem to go together. Here at Hot Eddie’s we love nuts. And we love spicy, so what better way to combine the two than in a delicious roasted Curried Cashew recipe. The cashew is not a true nut like almonds or walnuts. It is a seed that grows at the bottom…

Go to any good Mexican restaurant or taqueria and you’ll likely find Chile Verde (Green Chile) on the menu. Chile Verde is typically made with pork shoulder slow-simmered in a sauce of fresh green chiles and tomatillos. (By the way, for our non Spanish speaking readers, ‘tomatillo’ is pronounced ‘toe-ma-TEE-yo’.) It makes a fabulous filling for burritos,…
Onions and eggs. What a fabulous combination. This recipe is more about the technique, I mean, onions, eggs and butter. What’s the big deal? Well, the secret is in the cooking of the onions. In recipe after recipe you will see directions that read something like this: “Sauté onions 5-10 minutes until they carmelize.” Baloney.…

Just in time for Thanksgiving, this delicious variation on traditional cranberry sauce deserves a place at your table. Cranberry sauce, like apple sauce is so ridiculously easy to make and so much more delicious than its canned or bottled cousins, there is no reason whatsoever not to make it yourself. The natural pectin in the berries thickens…
I know that barbecue season is drawing to a close here in California. I know there are places in the US where people’s grills are under two feet of snow, Nonetheless, here at Hot Eddie’s we grill rain or shine, night or day, cold or heat. Kinda like the Post Office “…Neither snow nor rain nor…

She makes delicious wheat-free and non-dairy almond macaroons in a variety of flavors: Citrus, Citrus Raspberry Center, Chocolate Dipped, Citrus Cardamom, Chocolate Bomb and Spicy Chile Chocolate Bomb. We can’t officially call them gluten-free or dairy-free for now, because she bakes them in a kitchen that…
These are those delicious pickled jalepeños and carrots you get at many good Mexican restaurants. Jalepeños vary in spiciness from very mild to pretty darn hot. It is difficult to tell just by looking at them, but if you want to know what you are getting yourself in for, slice a tiny bit off the…
Here’s a cute video that shows how to brew the perfect cup of “pour over” coffee. We have been making coffee this way for decades, and can’t imagine any other way. We don’t weigh the water or the coffee, but measure out two tablespoons or one coffee industry standard scoop of coffee beans, and six…
