Greetings all. Hope all you are having a fine weekend!

Well, four more lbs. this week! YEE HI !

Thought I'd post another West Texas delicacy that is legal and oh so good!

If you liked Jalapeno Poppers before the Atkins WOE but had to give'em up because of the breading, consider this.

Stuffed, Wrapped & Roasted Jalapenos!

Start with garden fresh Jalapeno Peppers

Cut the top (cap) of the pepper off and clean out the seeds and core of the pepper (leave some in if you want it hot, otherwise, they are not in the least bit hot)

Stuff with a mixture of: Cream Cheese, Cheddar Cheese, Goat Cheese, Fried Minced Bacon

Wrap each pepper with Prosciutto Ham

Grill until outside of peppers are starting to wrinkle and the stuffings are bubbling. (usually about 30 minutes)

Mmmmm mmm!


Here's the picture......



I LOVE THIS WOE !

Paul,

Well, I just added jalapenos and prociutto to my grocery list, thanks to that picture of yours!

Thanks for the idea.

Karla

That looks great Paul! Is that a genuine Texan jalapeno roaster? We don't get those up here!

Karen

Hi Karen. Guess I should 've posted that over here to start with. Used to posting over there I guess.

The Roaster is one of my own creations made by welding washers together and sticking legs and a handle on it. Works great!

Cheers!

Paul

Hi Paul,

I'm curious...do you think you could roll the peppers in ground pork rinds & then fry? This week I tried some chicken and some salmon patties with a pork rind crust & I was very inpressed with the results. Maybe it would work for the bombers....just thinkin' out loud.

Tank

Tank, I don't know why that wouldn't work. If you try it, be sure and post the results.

Adios,
Paul

I must admit, my mouth started to water like the Rio Grande when I saw that picture! I think more recipes need photos like this!... (time to invest in a digital camera!)

How incredibly brilliant! You should sell them. It looks like they would work well in an oven too.

Karen

well.. i am drooling all over my computer now.....i'm gonna go to the store tonight and get those ingredients and you should DEFINATLEY sell those roasters...HOW COOL!! -amarise

Hey Paul, I am from Texas and I can't wait to go home and try this. I will change it a littel bit by stuffing some ground beff.

Thanks

Greetings fellow LC'ers! Sorry I haven't repied to some of the posts but I've been oh so busy at work.

First off, TANK, how did those poppers breaded with pork rinds work? I'm really anxious to hear about your results!

Karen, I take your comments as a compliment especially since I KNOW what an accomplished chef you are. BTW, even though I have not said anything before, you have been a great inspiration to me! Thank you for the kind words on my jalapeno roaster. I HAVE thoght about selling them but only momentarily.. Having too much fun with it to start worrying about doing it for pecuniary gain.. LOL! And yes, it works great in the oven.

And to all, I REALLY hope that you will post YOUR results! I'd love to hear about them!

Cheers to All!

Paul

PaulB?

Could you post a picture of the Jalapeno Roaster without the jalapenos, I am a grill fanatic and would like to try and make one of these for myself! Any specs on the roaster would be helpful, too.


Thanks

My question is how in the world would you roast the jalapenos WITHOUT that wonderful roaster?? All the cheese would melt out!! Well, Paul.... you at least gotta make a few more and sell them to us!! Looks delish! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Count me in if you make those jalapenos roasters for sale.

Wow... What a response.

If you folks are serious about the roasters, I'll take a serious look at it. I really never intended for it to be a commercial endeavor but I am seriously flattered and sure don't mind helping my friends on the LC Forum out.

Since I am hand building them, it's kind of labor intensive. There is about $10 of materials and it takes me about 1.5 hours per roaster, 2 by the time I get them cooked in. Does $25 sound OK?

If so, how about a show of hands. I guess this is where the rubber meets the road. :LOL:

Lemme know....

Paul
