I'm on the lookout for a good grilled/fried pepper recipe that will put the diluge of peppers we're about to start harvesting from the gardern here soon. I planted about 6 different varieties and already have a couple of good sized jalepeno and sweet banana peppers.
Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat and add garlic cloves (seperated but not peeled). Roast garlic for about 5 min untill cloves give to the touch. Roast jalepenos over open stove flame or undrer broiler till skin begins to blacken. Let cool, remove skin from garlic, and deseed and cut jalepeno in strips. (Serranos may be substituted). If garlic cloves are large, cut them in half lengthwise.
Trim off excess fat from steaks. Insert a filet knife in the side of each steak (both sides) and while keeping the opening small, fan the blade inside the steak to create a good sized pocket. Stuff pockets with garlic and chiles. Mix the dry ingredients together (except salt) and rub into both sides of the steak. Drizzle oil onto each side and work the "rub" into the steaks. (The back of a spoon works well here). Let steaks sit for an hour (longer if the steaks have not come to room temperature.)
Heat grill or Iron skillet on medium high, salt steaks, and grill 4 minutes a side. for rare, 5 min for medium rare. You want a good char on the outside while still retaining red color on the inside. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with Herbed Mashed potatoes and portabella/shitake Mushrooms.
For mushrooms, add butter, olive oil, salt and pepper to skillet on med heat. When oil is hot add shallots garlic, and cook for 2 min. Add mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes then add stock (wine would work well here as well). Heat through, add more butter if you want to gild the lilly and serve.
Wow! Looks like I've neglected ...useless misc again for more than a couple of days. I've been caught up with upgrading my Movable Type blog LibTech Weblog (my work related blog) to the latest version and I've been tweaking the CSS code.
I'm getting pretty comfortable woth CSS, but I still have a long ways to go. I'd like to learn how to do pages that display depending on the device being used to view the page. Once I've crossed that hurdle, I'll probably take the plunge and either make ...useless misc CSS based as well -or- maybe even jump ship to MT depending on the status of my web account with my current ISP.
"...users can access an extensive grid of high-end enterprise computers via the Internet, using idle compute cycles to crunch massive amounts of data. Certified users could access super-computing resources, computing clusters, data-storage systems, data sources and even network with other grid users. Taking it even further, users could create entire virtual organizations with complex business processes running remotely. The only costs involved are likely to be those charged to lease grid resources." [On E M E R G I C . o r g]
