In a large frying pan, over medium
heat, fry onion and garlic in olive oil until

Stir in whipped cream and add salt and pepper to taste.

*I became familiar with these pepper
pastes, when I worked at a Costco road
show. They are so handy to add a little zip to any recipe. They are
all imported
from Peru, with new and different peppers, this one has the Panca pepper.
They are sometimes available in higher end grocery stores, you can use any
chili paste that you like.
