Recipezaar: Central American recipesThe newest Recipezaar recipesin:Central AmericanS'more Pie- May 29, 2008 Experimenting with ingredients I had in the pantry... I came up with this pie, that tastes just like the "Smores" we all want on the 4th or when camping. My DH said this was "Screaming" which means he loved it. Shhhh, won't tell him how easy it was to whip up. If you like S'mores as a kid or even as an adult..... you'll have everyone asking for "S'more Pie.... please" -- posted by ChefVhttp://www.recipezaar.com/305641 Salad Burgers- May 28, 2008 This recipe is a part of summer for me. My grandma gave the recipe to my mom, and my mom to me, but not sure where grandma got it. This is just the recipe for the veggies (salad) on top of the hamburger. I haven't tried it on Chicken or Turkey burgers, but I can imagine it'd be really good, too. Remember the veggies need to marinate for a few hours! The cucumbers need to be sliced insanely thin, so they pick up the marinade in a few hours. Fantastic on barbecued hamburgers.

Black beans are the best in my opinion! I would recommend spicing this up a little with some hot sauce or even some slices of fresh hot peppers! It's very simple to make as well. -- posted by sassafrasnanchttp://www.recipezaar.com/305098 Sea Bass Ceviche- May 28, 2008 I've been a huge fan of shrimp and scallop ceviche for years but on my last trip to Costa Rica I discovered the wonderful sea bass ceviche that they serve in almost every restaurant. I had it every single night while there. It's just wonderful. The recipe calls for letting the fish marinade for 1 hour but I prefer at least 3 hours. I definitely want my fish "cooked". -- posted by sassafrasnanchttp://www.recipezaar.com/305096 Cosmo De San Jose- May 21, 2008 Rich guava juice and sweet raspberry liqueur makes this Central American favorite a popular pool side beverage. -- posted by NcMysteryShopperhttp://www.recipezaar.com/304496 Carne Guisado- May 18, 2008 A Guatemalan recipe adapted from Hot & Spicy Latin Dishes: The Best Fiery Food from Las Americas (Hot & Spicy) by Dave Dewitt. Could be served inside a tortilla with rice and beans. -- posted by WiGalhttp://www.recipezaar.com/304168 Carnes Desmenuzadas (Shredded Beef)- May 18, 2008 A recipe from Nicaragua that I found at http:recipes.wuzzle.org. I have not tried it yet but it sounds interesting. It calls for sour orange juice which would be found in a bigger store where the exotic produce is or in the ethnic section in a bottle. The technique is a bit different in that you do not braise it long, and it has handy ingredients. Serve with tortillas and probably a spicy side dish or with a spicy topping. -- posted by WiGalhttp://www.recipezaar.com/304142 Kelly's Homemade Corn Soup- May 16, 2008 I created this recipe. I would make it and it would come out absolutely delicious. When all of my family and friends asked for the recipe, because they said this was the best they had ever ate, I wrote down what I did and shared it. So now I would like to share it with you!
