Q: I have saved a couple of recipes I want to try that use Calabrian chilies from a jar. I can find many peppers in jars and cans, but not these. Can you help me? Thanks. — Sal M., email

A: Calabrian chilies from Southern Italy offer a mid-level heat that makes them ideal whenever you want to add a spark to any savory dish. Generally, these little red peppers come packed in oil.
I found two local sources for you. First, Sprouts Farmers Market, 1845 Piedmont Ave., Atlanta, 404-751-0605, stocks Delallo chopped Calabrian chili peppers, which are steeped in sunflower and extra-virgin olive oils and flavored with dried basil and salt. A 6.7-ounce jar costs $6.49.
Another available brand is Delizie di Calabria. These crushed Calabrian chili peppers are combined with sunflower oil, salt and white wine vinegar. You can pick up 9.87-ounce jars for $9.99 at Cost Plus World Market, 3495 Buckhead Loop, Atlanta, 470-447-5788.
Q: I have been looking for Shula’s Special No. 347 Steak Sauce, but I have been unable to find it recently. Should I stop looking? I like the taste of it much better than others I have tried. I use it as a marinade and as a sauce after the steak is cooked. Thank you. — Howard Boyd, Sandy Springs
A: NFL coach Don Shula launched his namesake steakhouse restaurant and steak sauce in 1989. Today, the restaurant group boasts nearly 30 franchised eateries, many located in Florida. They include 347 Grille, Prime, Shula Burger and Shula’s Bar & Grill. (That 347 signifies Shula’s all-time career wins.)
The good news is that the sauce is finally making its way back onto grocery shelves after a noticeable absence. According to Publix’s merchandising office, the problem stemmed from a shortage from the bottle supplier. However, that issue has been resolved, and you can pick up a 10-ounce bottle of Shula’s Special No. 347 Steak Sauce for $2.99 at Publix, 6615 Roswell Road, Sandy Springs, 404-843-4340.
