Pumpkin Chiffon Pie

This pie is probably the best pumpkin pie I've ever had.  It was so good.  Thanks to my cute mother-in-law for giving me the recipe.

 

1 envelope unflavored gelatin
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup milk
2 slightly beaten egg yolks
1 cup canned pumpkin
2 egg whites
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup whipping cream, whipped
1 9-inch graham-cracker crust
 
Combine first 7 ingredients in saucepan.  Stir in milk, egg yolks, and pumpkin.  Cook 
and stir over medium heat till mixture boils and gelatin dissolves.  Remove from heat and
chill till partially set.
 
Beat egg whites till soft peaks form.  Gradually add sugar and beat to stiff peaks.  Fold
into pumpkin mixture with whipped cream.  Pile into crust.  Chill till firm.
 

Enjoy!

The Green Peruvian Dipping Sauce

• Sorry pic was taken From Iphone.

I went to New York a few weeks ago and we went to this Peruvian restaurant.They served this sauce with a roasted chicken. This sauce is so good we could not stop talking about it for days! So when i came home I decided to try and make a copy of the sauce  here is my recipe. If you like Cafe Rio sauce you will like this.. it's similar.

Ingredients:

2 fresh jalapenos, including seeds and ribs, diced

1 tablespoon aji Amarillo paste (this can be hard to find, Its usually in the mexican food section) If you can't find this product you can use green Chile sauce.

10 sprigs cilantro leaves and stems, roughly chopped

2 tablespoons grated cotija cheese(this is best) or Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1/2 teaspoon white vinegar

1/2 teaspoon salt

Squeeze of lime
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2-3 inches of a peeled cucumber.

Blend everything together in a food processor or a blender till smooth.
Serve over a rotisserie chicken.

ENJOY!
