food Mmmmmm...poppers!

Hey TB, I have confirmation from AJ, I will be receiving nagas next week and WE WILL HAVE NAGA POPPERS!!! Although AJ refuses to post pictures. I will not take credit for being the first to make/eat them as he tells me he has been doing it all summer. I can't wait though. I think I may do a variety of peppers. Pics of before/after cooking, and before/after eating will follow.
 
I still had everything I needed to make another batch except cream cheese and I was downtown anyway so I figured why the hell not:

Trick to crispy bacon is to finish them off under the broiler. I bake at 375 for 30-45 min by eye then hit the broiler hot til bacon crisps.

If we can get AJ to take at least a pic and post it of him eating a Naga Popper...AJ in theory...well..no..he would be the new Naga Overlord as opposed to say the run of the mill Chilehead Overlord...what say ya'll?

Post a pic AJ and then we can crown you the king.
It's good to be king.

Cheers, TB.
 
It's ON NOW!!

Damn! The habs I got today were'nt quality enough for stuffing into poppers, but I did pickup a few nice Fresno's to go with the leftover ribeye steak and refried bean poppers I will be doing tonight. Hmmmm....wrapped in bacon or no bacon? F#xk it! Bacon!

Cheers, TB.

This probably isn't the same sumac you're thinking of. This one is native to middle east, click that link next to it in my first post and it goes to a site all about it. It's got a lemony flavor and goes good with like fish etc. It brightens up flavors the same way citrus does.
 
Tonight I made some poppers again. This time I filled the chinense pods with feta, rice, a bit of garlic, a pinch of pepper and salt, and some chopped salami. I wrapped them with Maasdam's cheese and smoked bacon. This time I baked them in the oven. Then my wife showed up in the kitchen because of the awesome smell and told me she wanted to try one. And to my surprise she liked it! And she had the heat tolerance to endure it.
