Very interesting thread. I'll try some of those things as soon as move into my new apartment.

Meanwhile, here's something back. It's one of the few things I miss when travelling abroad.

Grilled minced meat rolls/
Mititei

2 lbs/1 kg ground beef, 1/2 lb/250 g suet, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 2-3 garlic cloves, some ground pepper, juniper berries and caraway, 2-3 tablespoons meat broth, salt

Grind the meat together with the suet. Add salt, spices, chopped garlic, meat broth and baking soda and mix everything with your hands for 15 minutes, adding two tablespoons of water a little at a time. Keep the bowl with this mixture on ice for 5-6 hours. Just before grilling, take tablespoons of the mixture and with wet hands, shape the rolls (they are approx. 2-3 inches long and 1 inch thick). Before placing on the grill, grease them with oil and during grilling baste them with a mixture of meat broth and oil.

I used this once, but I got the spices all wrong. When I asked my mom later, she had a few observations: you can skipp suet if you mix equal quantities of pork and beef (and it tastes better, too!). And all spices should be ground and about 1 teaspoon of each. I added too little. And on the subject of grilling, having them weel done can kill the flavor. Also, they can be cooked in a frying pan, but it's just not the same.

And here is a link to other recipes.

I've always wanted to cook spaghetti with a spicy cream sauce (an alfredo sauce or something along those lines), but I've never been able to figure out what spices go with cream sauces. When I use marinara I just toss in a bunch of onion and garlic and jalapenos and ceyenne pepper, but I'm leary about mixing jalapenos or ceyenne with alfredo.

I've done spicy cream pasta with chipotle, Which you can buy canned.
Lesseee:

Sauce:

1 Finely minced garlic tooth
1/12th finely chopped onion
2 tbsp butter
1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp canned chipotle
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup tomato sauce
salt
pepper
about 1/2 cup chicken broth
pinch dry parsley

Melt butter with olive oil to lclarify, add onion and garlic in that order and stir until onion starts getting transparent.
Add tomato sauce, chipotle (if chiles come whole you might want to separate them and chop them, else puree in the blender, chicken broth to consistency, add salt/pepper/parsley, after it simmers add heavy cream. warm.
serve.

Btw, there is Jalapeño/semolina pasta. looks kinda greenish and has an interesting kick. I'm sure it would be available online.

Jalapeño Pesto pasta sauce.

Ingredients

5 tablespoons shelled pumpkin seeds
2 green bell peppers
3 jalapeno peppers
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 cloves garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 pound linguini pasta
1 1/2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
1/2 lime, cut into wedges


Directions
1 Toast the pumpkin seeds in a preheated 350 degree F (175 degree C) oven for 6 to 8 minutes.
2 Raise the oven's temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
3 Place the bell and jalapeno peppers on a baking sheet. Roast the peppers for 15 to 20 minutes; until the skin blisters. Let the peppers cool a bit then pull the skin away from the flesh; discard the skin.
4 In a food processor or blender combine 4 tablespoons of the pumpkin seeds, cilantro, garlic and the peppers. Blend until the contents are coarsely chopped. With the machine running, slowly add the oil and the lime juice. Blend in the salt and pepper
5 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta, stirring occasionally until it is just tender. Drain and return the pasta to the pot.
6 Set the pot over medium heat, add the tomatoes and the pesto. Stir well. Add more salt and pepper, if you'd like. Spoon the pasta onto plates. Serve the pasta garnished with the remaining pumpkin seeds and lime wedges.

You can try growing your own chile plants, or get your chiles shipped.
