We had some grilled leg quarters, pinto beans, fried okra...
and some jalapeno poppers wrapped in bacon last night.
Yummy...
I might need to explain the poppers a little bit more, I left out a few things
(on the recipe post)
Not on purpose mind you, just sometimes I take a few facts for granted.
To do these poppers...
When you buy "fresh" jalapenos in the store, the skin will be tough, kind of like a bell pepper.
What you need to do is stand the jalapenos up in a bowl, tip down, stem up, and let them age (become soft)
They're easier to work with, and they won't have a green taste. (just heat and cheese)
Now if you use canned whole jalapenos, don't worry about it, they'll be soft enough.
I like to use fresh.
The ones I did last night could have been aged just a tad more.
That was just a test batch.
Next batch will be better. The 3 rd batch will be perfect.
If you want to use fresh and you messed around and didn't let any age, fret not
You can just blanch them in boiling water for a few mins. to soften them up.
(but I recommend aging)
And use thick cut bacon when wrapping. (works better)
