I received a request for this recipe this past week, and found
a very simple,
yet incredibly good one. This is very flavorful,
but mild enough that everyone
will really like it. This is a
guaranteed hit. Of course, you can increase
the green chiles
or hot sauce (I used Tabasco) to make it hotter.
This recipe can actually be served as a dip at room temperature
or chilled
and shaped into a ball. I liked it as a dip served with
a fresh French baguette
sliced into think slices. As a ball, you
can roll it in anything you like -
pecans, pinon nuts, diced red
bell pepper, fresh cilantro, whatever.
