Mmmmmm...poppers!

Hey ya'll once again from the big dry ditch in Las Vegas. I was going to grill today but ahhh...a little too hot once again. Maybe tomorrow will be more appropos. My gal had bought some very nice ground beef to make some sliders but she changed her mind as usual and opted instead for spinach/cheese ravioli with garlic cream sauce instead. Of course I was enlisted to do the cooking. So what to do with the ground beef? I have peppers. I have cheese. Duh..como se dice en espanol....poppers!!
Ground beef, japs, 4 cheese Mexi mix, shallots, Lawry's and fresh ground pepper. Here tis. Notice the melon ball tool I use to deseed. Works perfect.

hopefully there are still some hatch left at my market tomorrow.  we will be maiking jalo and hatch poppers on tuesday.  the hatch will also be great chopped up into stuffed mushrooms.
 
These poppers are hitting all 3 corners of the boot......sweet, savory and spicy...........via Italy
 
 

 
Ingredients: Sundried Tomatoes, Pancetta, Speck, Parmigiano Reggiano, Shallot, Calabria 9 Peppers, Barese Italian Sausage, Erba Cipollina Peperoncino (sheeps milk cheese with chives and peppers), Pine Nuts, Jalapenos, Mascarpone Chese, Creme Fraiche.
 

 
Pancetta was diced and browned with the crumbled Sausage. Meats were removed and drained, pan wiped dry, meat returned with diced Shallot and slivered Calabria Peppers. Pan was brought to medium...working the mixture until dry (5 min)
 

 
Fine grind Pine Nuts in a food processor. Add container of Mascarpone Cheese, 1/4c of Creme Fraiche, 1/4c grated Parm....whip until mixed.
 

 
Cooled down meat mixture was added to the bowl along with the Cheese/Pine Nut mix ,  1.5c of shredded Erba Cheese,  chopped Sun Dryed Tomatoes and handful of Capers. mix well and set aside.
 

 
Jalapenos were topped (sliced above stem)..and steamed in a colander over a pot of water. If the meat was raw, I would have left the jalps uncooked and put a weep hole underneath each with a skewer,knife or tooth pick. A resturant steam cabinet works out ideal..especially for larger bell type peppers.....but some of you may choose to use the microwave........ :D
 

 
Poppers were stuffed with mix and wrapped with a slice of Speck....racked over sheet pan and will be placed into a 350 oven until bubbly / crisp......a rock glass filled with Rum...worth of time..... :lol:
 

 

 
Plating shot......look fast cause they didn't last !
 

 
Not your typical popper..........these are always pretty amazing!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Shallots? Capers? Marscapone? Speck?
 
That shit is outta' control!
 
And just might be the best poppers posted that I've seen in this thread since it began.
 
Those are magic poppers.
 
Have mercy.

Give those a whirl.....most ingredients are readily available. The Barese Sausage is locally available here, but a traditional style Italian grade will workout just fine.

Slap a little panko on top of those shroom ones next time. That's how we make cheat fried shrooms!!!

Poppers and stuffed shroom's, 'specially crab stuffed, are a great combo.

Yeah, you can't see it but there is actually panko crumbs, however they didn't brown up. Not sure what the deal is with that.

For real. We were always doing poppers just regular cheese sort of mixture till we had the seafood ones at your house. Its the way to go. By far the best way I've had them.
