What did everyone cook today?
-
Joe Hell Purple peppers? What do those taste like and are they worth it?
-
Tex_77 mmmm…tots!
Today I made a stir fry for the shop with several kinds of HOT peppers (Szechwan, Serrano, Habanero, Jalapeño, etc.) pork belly, garlic, ginger, sweet soy sauce, dark soy sauce and fermented honey. My tolerance for heat over the last few years has increased immensely. I can’t say that for my co-workers. They all thought their faces were melting. I loved it! I’ve been making this frequently and eating the leftovers for breakfast lately. I can’t get enough!

Joe Hell looks tasty and colorful. I like some heat, but I think I would hit the wall with that one.

Tex_77 I think I am reverting back to my childhood days. I don’t care for fries much but get me near some tater tots and stand back.

Whooeeee, Those peppers sure do look good! I still like the spice, but can’t handle the heat as much as I used to. The TAM Purple peppers are nice. I used to grow them back in the 80’s & maybe a few in the 90s, but have not done them in a long time. We pretty well stick to the Jalapolenos, Cayennes, A few Tai Fire Crackers, the Japanese one when I can get it, The sweet Italians, & my favorite, the Poblano. They have the Purple Green Beans too that I would swear are just a little sweeter, but pretty much the same as a Blue Lake or maybe Contender.

Grilled up some pork chops tonight with Oak Ridge BBQ SPOGOS and Excalibur’s Pork Roast and Chop rub.

Tex_77 Okay, you got me. What kind of sauce are those in?
-
Chef no sauce. If you are referring to what SPOGOS stands for it is: salt, pepper, oregano, garlic, other spices.

How does that work out & taste, Sous Vide Brisket finished on the smoker?
How about the texture?

I have wondered about that sous vide stuff for quite some time now.
