Jamaican Red Mushroom Chili Pepper – and a Recipe
Jamaican Red Mushroom peppers are a type of habanero pepper and have a comparable heat level. Also known as the Squash pepper, it is mushroom shaped and matures from green to a dark red. Like a habanero, it is very fruity and packs plenty of flavor in its diminutive pod.
Spice Up Your Independence Day with these Chili Pepper Recipes
The 4th of July is one of the largest grilling holidays in America, so it’s time to get that grill hot and ready. If you’re like me, you’re looking for something outside of the typical burger and brat tossed on the grill. You want chili peppers, and you want heat! Set your fears aside, chili pepper lovers. Here are some grilling recipes that incorporate chili peppers into your favorite grilling foods.
Quick Pizza Recipe – with Jalapeno Peppers
There are days when you’re in a hurry, or when you just want a quick lunch. But why must we suffer through bland and boring or processed foods? No! I make the case here for flatbreads. Flatbreads are wondrous items of food, typically used for sandwiches with plenty of tasty morsels within, but today I’ve used mine for pizza. The only time consuming ingredient here is the salmon, which cooks quickly, though if you are in a huge hurry, you can skip the salmon or incorporate some leftover proteins like grilled chicken.
The HJ8 Total Eclipse Space Chili
I recently received a pack of space peppers from Jim Duffy at Refining Fire Chiles for evaluation. Space chilies, you say? Absolutely.
Since the mid 1980s, China has been sending recoverable satellites into space on a 5-day orbit around Earth. Each trip, approximately 5000 seeds are sent along and are exposed to the zero gravity and cosmic radiation, then returned. Back on Earth, these seeds are then cultivated. Around 50 of each batch show positive signs of mutation. These are selected for a 3-5 year program of cultivation and field testing and selection until those with the best properties are ready for sale. The seeds tend to have a high disease resistance, be more nutritious and give a much higher yield.
Roasted Red Pepper Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Prepare to be stuffed! With roasted red bell peppers, that is. Certainly not a spicy dish in terms of heat, but absolutely high on the flavor scale. Roasted bell peppers bring an inherent sweetness to a dish, turning ordinary chicken into a go-to meal. This particular dish combines the roasted bell with cream cheese and seasonings, stuffed into a flattened chicken breast, then rolled in panko and lightly fried. Served with a chili-lime butter.
Spice Up Your Wings with Ghost Peppers
Chicken wings are a huge favorite, and I personally enjoy them because you can cook them up in so many ways. I’ll get mine deep fried usually, as that is the typical restaurant preparation, but I wish more places would grill them. The texture is different, and you don’t get all that oil. This particular recipe busts out the grill and brings up a dry rub, sauceless chicken wing. I like mine extra charred, but if it’s too much, just pull them off the grill a bit early.
