PERUVIAN ROASTED CHICKEN WITH SPICY CILANTRO SAUCE
Burnished-skinned, deeply flavored and more than just a little spicy, it's no wonder that Peruvian chicken has become something of an obsession here in the United States. There are dozens of way to make this dish, but most recipes call for two different kinds of Peruvian chile pastes - aji amarilla and aji panca - to add the necessary complexity and heat. You can find them at South American markets and online. But in a pinch, you can substitute a red chile paste (like sriracha or sambal) for the aji amarillo, and ground pasilla chile powder for the aji panca. The flavors won't be traditional, but the chicken will still be tasty - especially when slathered with the irresistibly creamy, spicy cilantro sauce that goes alongside.

Steps:
- For the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together garlic, soy sauce, aji amarillo paste, lime juice, aji panca paste, mustard, cumin, pepper and salt.
- Add chicken halves, turning to coat them all over with marinade. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Arrange skin-side up on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with oil.
- Roast until skin is golden and chicken is cooked through, 35 to 45 minutes (if using chicken parts, remove the breasts after 25 to 35 minutes). Remove from oven and let sit, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes before serving.
- While chicken is roasting, make the sauce. In a blender, blend cilantro, jalapeƱos, feta, garlic, lime juice, oregano, salt, mustard, aji amarillo paste, honey, and cumin until smooth. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in oil until mixture is emulsified. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt or lime juice or both.
- Carve the chicken and serve with the sauce and lime wedges on the side.

ROSEMARY GARLIC CROUTONS FROM ST. AUGUSTINE
I had the pleasure of eating these while I went to visit our new friends in St. Augustine. It was so cold there(much colder than in Orlando) and I would be so happy to sit down to a bowl of soup with these croutons! I think these are simply great! Try them and let me know what you think:-)

Steps:
- Trim the crusts from the slices of bread.
- Cut into 1/2 inch (1cm) cubes.
- Keep aside.
- Heat oil in a skillet or frying pan on moderately low flame.
- While the oil is heating, crush the clove of garlic and rosemary, separately, using your mortar and pestle.
- You can also crumble the rosemary between the palms of your hands if you like.
- I personally like to crush it to bring out the flavour to the fullest.
- Now, add the crushed garlic to the moderately hot oil and cook for a minute, stirring continuously until it is golden.
- Remove the garlic.
- Toss in the bread cubes and crushed/crumbled rosemary.
- Cook these awesome croutons, tossing lightly, until they are lightly browned all over.
- Sprinkle with salt to taste.
- Remove from the skillet or pan and transfer onto paper towels to drain.
- Serve over soup (if they last that long!).
