You guys have me stabbing at the monitor with my fork! Dang!

Tonight's appetizer.

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1346031096.jpg

Jalora peppers ( Jalapeno hybrid) stuffed with cream cheese, scallion, and roasted red pepper. Wrapped in Applewood smoked bacon, and grilled for about 10 min. Absolutely phenominal. The wife harvested some of her hot peppers yesterday to make salsa, and these were some leftovers. I felt obligated to put them to good use.
Tough act to follow, but we had grilled bratwurst and onions, corn on the cob, and baked beans. No pictures however, but good.

Pork baby back ribs.

Simmer for 1-2 hours in just enough water to cover plus soy sauce, rice wine, Chinese five spice powder, star anise, ginger. Remove pot from heat, cool, then place pot in refrigerator to marinate overnight. Next day, remove the ribs, and boil the potful of liquid down to about 8 oz, then pass through blender to smooth. Meanwhile, pat ribs dry, coat in cornstarch, and deep fry for about 2 min until crusty brown. When liquid is reduced and smoothed, heat a little oil in wok or pan and, working in batches, toss ribs, some of the sauce, minced garlic and basil leaves.

Above pic was taken after platter sat in warm oven for 40 min. It is prettier if served right away, but the taste is the same.

Mix fish and oyster sauce, soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, garlic, limes, lemongrass and cilantro. Marinate prawns, overnight in this case, then stir fry.

I have an awesome stuffed jalapeno recipe I came up with... Next time I make them I will post pics and recipe if you remind me...

That shrimp looks delicious!!! BTW, we have the same plate set!!!

Okay! I will post this simple appetizer recipe, I can't claim it since my niece prepared these at a BBQ of hers we went to at her and her husband's hunting lease. They are simple but addicting! Try it and you will understand!


Buy a large can or jar of whole jalapenos. Take the stem of if present and slice them in half long ways. Take the seeds out and fill with cream cheese. Then wrap them in one piece of sandwich meat. She made some out of smoked turkey and some out of hard salami. When I made them at the house, we made them out of smoked turkey, hard salami and prosciutto. So simple, but will make your guests very happy.

garlic shrimp served over polenta. wishing there was leftovers :(

Just saw this, sorry for not getting back sooner. When I make pork schnitzel, I just pound some thin center cut pork chops, dip in flour then egg, then breadcrumbs. I've tried panko but it's too grainy. Fry them up and serve with a wedge of lemon.

The sliders are done the same way and the great thing is the breaded pork loin can be made ahead of time since the sandwiches don't necessarily have to be served warm. And the rolls came from Walmart and were pretty close to brotchen.

my friends mom uses crushed saltine crackers as the breadcrumb in her schnitzel. big flat, big as yo face schnitzel. i loved it.

Cappellini timbales with asparagus, cream, Parmigiano Reggiano, sided with diced heirloom tomatoes and sliced shallots.

Thank you very much.

I do as similar recipe but I microwave the bacon to get it partially cooked, and wrap it around chunks of albacore.
Then I throw a little liquid smoke into my favorite BBQ sauce and baste and let sit in the fridge for an hour.
Then onto a hot grill, about 3 minutes them flip for two minutes, done.

More schnitzel tips:

Do not bread it ahead of time. The flour must stay dry (enough) for the breading to 'bubble away' from the meat as it gets perfectly browned. You also should fry at a medium temperature. Too hot & it browns too fast & gets hard, too low & it absorbs too much oil & gets greasy.

I made it again. Wrapped the salmon, an hour in the freezer, wrapped with room temp bacon, and into the deep fryer for 2 minutes per small batch. Came out perfect.

Sister in law is on a lamb kick. I'm not complaining.
