Can you eat the HEAT?

My Brother-in-law made these yummy snacks on New Year's Day.

Stuffed Jalapenos

16 Jalapenos
16oz Cream Cheese, softened
8oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese,shredded
4 sprigs Spring Onions,finely chopped
8 strips of Bacon, cut in half
Your favorite BBQ Sauce

Mix Cream Cheese, cheddar cheese, onions together.

Prepare the Jalapenos.  Make a "T" in the pepper to remove seeds and veins.  Leave the pepper intact.   (I prefer to leave in a few seeds...the hotter the better for me)

Fill each pepper with cream cheese mixture.  Wrap bacon strip around the pepper. Secure with toothpick.   

Set peppers on grill .  Dab with favorite BBQ sauce and cook for 20 minutes

Ok T,

Time to work your magic.  Can you shake this one up and give a different recipe for a stuffed jalapeno..how about a stuffed scotch bonnet...Send me some HEAT!!

Mmmm those sound sooo yummy - I will have to try it. Much better than the deep fried version (which I'll admit, I used to loooooooove.) 

Ok...amberwood...I like your ideas....so I'm going off the cuff here and I am like you, i LOVE hot food....so I'll be trying this recipe in a few days to see how it turns out, but before I do it, I'll give you my ideas of ingredients.

Stuffed Scotch Bonnet Pepper

Ingredients:

Scotch Bonnet Peppers -take seed out...avoid rubbing eyes...OUCH
Goat cheese
Chop garlic- roast in oven
basil
oregano
ground peppercorns (preferrably green but any color would be fine)
finely chopped ham


Blend everything together except the peppers,   take seeds outta the peppers, stuff the blended mixture of cheesy, herby, ham stuff and put into pepper until full.  Get BIG glass of water.  Pray to heaven this doesn't make you dump. (may hurt, sorry about that) and ummm...enjoy some hot food.

Amberwood, I like the firey stuff....this might be darned hot...lol...  I asked a friend of mine about the mixture of herbs, he said sounded tasty but hot....hehe

T.

T,
I knew you'd come up with one.  Nice paring of goats cheese and oregano..love it!
I really need some ideas.  My husband was gifted with 2 venison roasts.  He put one in the roaster tonight.  I'll be making chili or veggie stew with it tomorrow.  But I need help with the 2nd one.  I love heat, my hubby has a white man's tongue.  Do you have any ideas or recipes up in those sleeves of yours?
Amberwood

Amberwood,

Luckily i've had my uncle's venison roast and it was always good, never gamey.  I've always been a hunter, just notuch of a person who had to field dress and cook the game afterwards.  He told me he's served Senators at his house this same meal, I told him to prove it, he told me to buy him a 12 pack of beer and he would....lol...I called him in Mississippi and this is what he gave me.

Ingredients:
4 pounds worth of Venison
1 1/2 cups beef broth
1/2 cup dry white or red wine
6 carrots, cut in 2-inch pieces
3 celery stalks, cut in 3-inch pieces
course salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

 

dry mustard (I'm sure you could use some ground wet or something) (it's just a tiny amount)

brown sugar
parsley

Preparation:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. 1/2 teaspoon course salt, 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder,  pinch of dry mustard, pinch of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon parsley. Coat meat with the mix of above spices and place in a Dutch oven. Brown it well on all sides in a little oil. Add the broth and wine and stir. Cover and bake the roast for about 1 1/2 hours. Add the vegetables and bake for another hour.

Give it a try....my other recipe had lots of sage, some fresh ground garlic, lemongrass and I thought, no not those flavors since it's cold where you are...in the spring or summer that would be awesome!

T.

T,
Once again awesome!
I will definitely give this a try.

These sound yummy!!!  I'm going to try them.....

Here's another version that my family likes:

Cut off stems and slice jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds

Put an approximately 1"x1" piece of boneless, skinless chicken breast in the pepper

wrap with 1/2 piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick

Broil or BBQ, turning as needed

YUMMO!!!

 

I have found I can make 26 of these with 1 pound of bacon, 13 peppers and 2 chicken breasts

That sounds great!  Is the chicken raw or is it already cooked?

Ooops...sorry I should have been more specific....everything is raw when you put them together.  The chicken pieces are small enough that they are cooked just fine as the bacon cooks.  I will be making these for my contribution to our Superbowl snacks.......
