Wayne Roe, executive chef, Sodexo, Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, says: This recipe came from an exchange student that lived with my family when I was 13 years old. Her name was Irene and she was from Santiago, Chile. She made this recipe for us, and it became a family recipe. My mom had the recipe written on an index card, but she lost it. When I was 17, I wrote Irene asking for the recipe. It has wonderful flavors with the peppers and onions combined with the raisins and olives. I’ve always wondered what happened to Irene.
