Charred 'Long Greens"
Today was the big day to prepare the peppers for winter. I've found doing them directly on a bed of white coals works best and makes quick work of large batches. (wear gloves) They are charred and steaming away right now. The kitchen smells divine. I have another couple dozen peppers still on the plants. It will be several weeks before they are ready. I hope the weather is nice then so that I can do them outdoors. http://s1171.photobucket.com/user/ge...tml?sort=3&o=0 or http://tinyurl.com/nz2ex78 Janet US |

When they are cool enough to handle, the black skin just slips right off. Then you remove the stem and seeds. "I" freeze them whole. I take 6 or so and roll them up in plastic wrap like a cigar. Others here chop them first. The peppers are used for dishes like Chili Verde http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=...ures&FORM=IGRE or http://tinyurl.com/q8748yz or enchilada sauce. Janet US |

Got a recipe for the sausage and egg bake?
I happen to have plenty of both on hand at the moment. "Janet Bostwick" > wrote in message ... > > Today was the big day to prepare the peppers for winter.

Look on the 'Net for recipes for Breakfast Casserole. For mine, I have cubed stale bread, cooked breakfast sausage (in pieces) a little sauteed onion and sliced mushroom, shredded cheddar (or whatever) chopped, frozen spinach (wrung out), maybe a little chili-garlic sauce, 6 eggs beaten and some milk. Oh, salt and pepper. Bake 350F for about 1 hour or until the mixture puffs a bit. I think that's all. We eat it for dinner. Sorry I can't give you measurements. Janet US |

So much better than trying to blacken them on the grill grate or in the oven under the broiler. This method does a far better job. I didn't have to pick at bits and pieces of black; I just grasped the whole pepper and slid the entire skin off. Yes, indeedy, I used long tongs and leather work gloves. I was fortunate that there was no breeze so I didn't have to dodge shifting heat. Janet US |

I works pretty well and does not require maintaining the fire. The turkey fryer, by the by, is never used for turkeys. It is my favorite tool for wok cooking: very hot, very portable, and outside so that the oil, odors, and heat stay out of the house. |

You probably have more peppers than I did if your fire needed to be maintained. Do you set up a basket or grate for the peppers? Janet US |
