This area features various uses and recipes. Since we are starting with just chile peppers, we’ll first provide ideas as to how to use the product. Below are various recommendations which you might not have thought about, as this product is fairly new to the market place. As you start tasting the various chile powders, you’re going to start getting creative with the uses. If you find a good use which we haven’t listed, let us know through an email and we might add it to the list of customer creative uses.
​
Party Uses
• Many people don’t like spicy food, and as a result, it’s very convenient to always make mild sauces for a party. With Favela Spice Company products, now you can place 2 or 3 bottles next to the salsa bowl and have people who like chiles spice up just their dishes. For a pico de gallo, we recommend having green serrano, hungarian wax chile, and habanero. The green serrano will always compliment the fresh versions of themselves, the hungarian wax chile is fairly mild and will add a hint of sweetness to the sauce to compliment for non-spicy eaters, and the habanero will always spice up the dish for the serious chile lover. The same chile bottles can also carry over to the dinner side of the party, if such a side exists.
​
Bloody Mary
• Try replacing the typical tabasco hot sauce with a green serrano or habanero to spice up your drink without the added vinegar. The peppers are listed in increasing order of spiciness, so please use one you are comfortable with and adjust the amount to taste. You will find that the tomato juice will taste a little sweeter and make the drink more palatable for that first taste in the morning.
​
Soups
• Add a dash or two of your favorite pepper to any hot soup to spice it up just right. You made a whole crockpot worth of soup, use a different chile every day to make the soup taste different and not get bored of the flavor.
​
Seafood
• Spicy seafood is a staple in countless countries, but the seafood typically has a very mild flavor. Don’t overpower it with a hot sauce, let your taste buds explode with the seafood flavor and whatever pepper you choose to add to it. Since the fine powder can be delivered throughout the dish’s surface, there’s no need to premix the dish and ruin the visual appeal.
​
Fruit
• If you live in a big city, you might have seen it by now. Every so often, there’s a fruit stand in a corner, and they always add salty chili powder to their fruits. It’s a combination which works very well together (sweet and spicy), but why add the salt when you don’t have to? Find your favorite chile powder and add that to your dish.
