I recently added Malaqueta seeds but didn't have any recipes. Except for the garlic
and the substitution of lemon for lime, this is very close to the recipes in my Xni-Pec
collection. So close, in fact that I'm going to add it to the salsa recipes.
One of my Brazilian seed customers says that Malegueta is often called Aji Brasilia.
Thanks,
Dave
