food What was the last spicy meal you cooked?

[Scovie]

That Chili looks awesome. I like how frying them in patty form binds the meat so it holds up in the Chili.

I am going to remember that trick.

yeah those clumps of meat instead of the hot dog chili from the supermarket grind, nice cheat

 

[Scovie]

Especially with that char or crust he had goin on. Yum.

Jimmy Nardellos are just a great pepper all around 
 
and now i want 2nd breakfast 
 

 
 
I am new to Jimmy Nardellos this year . So far I've fried them , stuffed them with cheese and baked and dried them to use in flakes and powders.
 
Anything else I should not miss?

 

[Guatemalan Insanity Pepper]

fried in oil with just some sea salt is fantastic 
 
roasted and added to a marinara sauce 
 
sliced and added to a sandwich 
 
sometimes i enjoy just snacking on them fresh off the plant while working in the yard

I literally cover the entire bottom of the pan with one huge patty. It took 2 times for just over 3lbs of meat. It breaks up a bit turning it over but thats no problem. I find it easier to get a good brown anyway. Much easier to remove the extra fat too. The amount left in the patties and whatever does not pour out of the pan is about perfect for chili.
 
Ancient Indian secret.....lentil powder works awesome for a thickener. Just lightly toast and grind some lentils. I used about 1-2 tbs in this batch. I picked up this trick from making sambar masala

Christmas dinner
 

 

[Scovie]

That's a fantastic Christmas dinner. I love everything on that plate!

That last pic tho, I like the tile in it better.

Merry Christmas!

 

[The Hot Pepper]

too funny, the tile company has a $200 photo contest and you have to enter by the end of the year, so I was trying to capture it lol, guess it worked.....

 

[Ashen]

I think TB will like the diced pineapple on the fish with the lemon slices.

I kid, it looks tasty AF.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Just some haphazardly minced ginger unfortunately lol!
 
The Ketuckyaki is the SHIT tho! It has bits of garlic and ginger in it! I highly recommend it, and get the Bluegrass Soy, and worcestershire while your'e at it.

 

[Scovie]

That stuff looks killer. Rich as hell too. Kentucky Teriyaki... Makes me think about stuff like Canadian Chili, and Russian Ravioli.

That tile tho. I am so dammed impressed with it!

 

[The Hot Pepper]

lol... so I think you would agree then, I did good choosing espresso grout, and sending back the almond color that was ordered by the sales agent...

 

[Scovie]

OMG yes! I get so many clients that try hard to MATCH the grout with the tile, it makes me crazy. Why? Contrast shows off the tile!

You did very good, catching that and putting your foot down! I'm proud of you!
