Produce Possibilities recipes for this week offer a refreshing spiciness to the taste buds.  Poblano peppers are a mild chili, and are roasted here to make it easier to remove the skins. Aji Amarillo is a dried chile, and is very unique with almost fruity overtones. Here we rehydrate and mince the Aji Amarillo to season the filled Poblano pepper. The package gives instructions for creating a very simple chili hot sauce which will keep for weeks in the fridge. Along with the Monterey Jack and St. Pete’s Blue cheese, this vegetarian Chile Relleno recipe brings several rich flavors together.

Bosc Pears are known for their subtle nutmeg-like flavor.  Here they are showcased in a salad that highlights this spiciness, including dried allspice in the dressing.
