Hey ya'll once again from the big dry ditch in Las Vegas. I was going to grill today but ahhh...a little too hot once again. Maybe tomorrow will be more appropos. My gal had bought some very nice ground beef to make some sliders but she changed her mind as usual and opted instead for spinach/cheese ravioli with garlic cream sauce instead. Of course I was enlisted to do the cooking. So what to do with the ground beef? I have peppers. I have cheese. Duh..como se dice en espanol....poppers!!
Ground beef, japs, 4 cheese Mexi mix, shallots, Lawry's and fresh ground pepper. Here tis. Notice the melon ball tool I use to deseed. Works perfect.

Those do look fantastic -- as soon as I have some ripe peppers that is one thing I am going to try -- Have you ever used Chorizo or a spicy sausage as well????

Look good. What heat and for how long do you cook those?

Looks great, cheesburger Jalapenos. My favorite pepper for poppers is the Bishop's crown(many other names.) They are great because most of them will stand upright and they have a great mild flavor that can be spiced up more with hotter peppers in the stuffing if needed.
These Bishop's crown's grew quite large and were great simply stuffed with mozzarella this time and heated on the grill.

:drooling: looks awesome Potawie looks like you could stick a small meatball in there as well and have a mini-stuffed pepper as well

Potawie, I wonder if Bishops Crown is the same as nipotastro's campana? Would you know if that's one of its names?

Thanks for the seed offer, nipotastro, but I should be able to get some now that I know the name they're known under here.

I never made "poppers" that way. I always thought of them as a battered and deep fried affair.

Damn if I'm not gonna try this now though.....

Are those the same "TAM"s you couldn't get to grow before?

texas blues

09-06-2007, 09:17 PM

Chuk...dude you can stuff them with anything. I've done them with shrimp and then bacon wrapped. Chorizo and cheese stuffed, my favorite, and even a crab artichoke dip. I did a minced beef marinated in teriyaki and crushed pineapple ..tres bon!

Cheezy...alas no..not my TAM's. These were store bought. They do lose a little heat with cooking. Heat wise I could eat a hundred without feeling too much pain. Sometimes I use Fresno's for a bit more heat. I really need to man up and maybe try stuffed habs. Who's done the stuffed hab thang'?? Fess up.

Pam

I've done habanero poppers, the breaded kind, not your oven roasted kind. Since I don't eat raw habs, I can't compare the heat, but I would be surprised if they didn't lose some heat since I parboil before stuffing.

I've tried stuffing w/ provolone and prosciutto for the whole cherry pepper but with heat with some luck but you miss out on the crunch I think if you mix some Hab into your stuffing it give you a wallop.

I like that chorizo and cheese idea. I am going to make chorizo this weekend and save some for that :drooling:

Man, now I want to do this! I'll have some fresh peppers soon! (I can't do it right now because the anti-biotic I have states that I'll end up in the emergency room ranting dangerously and near death if I eat dairy....it's some sort of inhibitor.)

Canuk Pepperhead

09-08-2007, 07:24 PM

lol sorry to hear dude..have to say man they were good..a bit of heat loss but awsome

How hot does the oven need to be and how long do you need to cook it for?

Canuk Pepperhead

09-10-2007, 05:57 PM

Myself I had the oven around 300 and after the first 20 mins id check on them every 5 mins or so... didnt take long at all to cook...near the end when they were I re-coated with more cheese

Red Jalapeños? that's just wrong.
Use them for seeds, get some greens for eating.

Nothing wrong about it Omri. Red & corked is way better than green in my book.

Red Jalapenos are better. The sugar content is higher and it taste sooo much better.

But Jalapeños are not suppose to be fruit like, that's the all point.
It goes awesome with meat, cheese, other veg's and so on.
Well I guess I can do some experiments (finding the right way for eating them red), and find that damn book.

Red, green,orange, blond, brunette, redhead. It's all good. Like sex on a plate. IGG....nice to see you are off the Ramen diet. How was the "manned up" popper with the scotch bonnet? Oh and one last...who is gonna' be the first to do a plate of Naga Poppers? What? Don't look at me. My culo is weaker than my cajones! Cheers. TB.

"The Nerds Book of Ardent"

Its not a big book...it says

"For peppers: Green is good, any other colour is better."

As far as I know, Black Pearl & Bolivian Rainbow are the only things this doesn't apply to.
