Catagory: Dips Recipe: MR Q's JALAPENO PASTE Posted by: Dodger Quantity: ??
Ingredients: JALAPENOS ONION VINEGAR SALT
Instructions: Remove stems (notice I didn't say remove seeds!) from peppers. Throw peppers into a blender or food processor. Add equivalent amount of chopped onion. Add just enough vinegar to moisten. Puree to a fine paste. Salt to taste. HEAT SCALE: sorry folks, this one melted my thermometer. Dodger
Comments: This stuff will keep for a long time. It is a great basic paste to use in cooking. ONE APPLICATION: Thin with 1/2 vinegar 1/2 water (to as thin as you think reasonable - gamble here and use your judgement!) then put it in an old shaker bottle ⇒ homeade pepper sauce. Mr. Q says you can simulate space travel if you place a huge glob of this sauce on a chip or cracker and eat it all in one bite! Notice: the "heat" of jalapenos can and does vary widely, you can get mild results one time and sear the hide off your tongue the next. A little experimentation is suggested to avoid killing the dinner guests. (generally I am selfish with such concoctions anyway) Ok, folks. What's the first bid for my recipe for homemade refried black beans. (World BEST burritos!) NOW THAT'S SPICY FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (PLEASE!!! these little lovelies are pronounced 'hal-a-pen- yoes' there is no J sound also - there is a ~ over the N) PLEASE NOTE: ALL mention of peppers means FRESH produce but by all means try canned/pickled if that is all you have available. The results however will NOT be comparable.
