Merquén or Merkén is a traditional condiment mix in Mapuche cuisine in Chile made of goats horn chili, coriander seed, salt, and sometimes cumin. All smoked. It is wonderful stuff. Spicy and very smokey. I can't think of anything it wouldn't work with.
Rack of lamb rubbed with olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, and heavily coated with imported Chilean Merquén. It is illegal to import goat horn chili so US spice houses are forced to use other ingredients to mimic the flavor profile. If you want the real deal, its Amazon or eBay.
