I absolutely adore fussing with a large pot of something stewy. I don't cook this way using a recipe, more along the lines of ratios. Ya know? Such as, if you have 3 pounds of pork shoulder, then you use about half that in tomatillos. And how many green chile peppers do you use? A lot, about *this* much I'd say.
All ready for a chile verde post? Me too, but maybe tomorrow. Ha ha. Nope, today I just stopped by because I had great fun in blackening the chile peppers. I made this pot of green love last night, after work, after picking up the kids from school. I was a little impatient and didn't feel like roasting the peppers one at a time. See, usually I just toss the suckers on a burner, jack the heat and use my giant tweezers to rotate the little guys. "What to do, what to do?"
Tinker and Tanker knew what to do! They grabbed the fire ring from the wok, tossed on a heavy gauge cooling/baking rack and made a little grill! It was awesome and the picture is pretty too. Ah, the simple things in life make the propeller on my straw hat whirl. And um, if you've been doing this for years, don't point & laugh too hard, eh?
xo, Biggles
Your picture made my propeller whirl, too.
Nice going.
that's a super slick idea, Doc. Now I'm sure I'll forget it the next time I need to scorch a big batch of chiles...
Me, I'm just slicing and pickling the jalapenos. Tasty.
Aw, rats. Yours look better.
But I'll have mine in the fridge all winter. C'mon over.
Loverly. I can almost smell that intense chile aroma. (Time out for drooling a bit.) I think that is a wizard way to roast those beauties. I do want to hear about the verde.
My stomach started to growl in appreciation when I saw the photo :)
Them charred peppers look mighty fine to me. I'm looking forward to the chili verde post--Cook on! chefjp
Fab idea! My mouth is watering at the thought of green chili....
Ahhh. A teaser. I saw the peppers and thought, "The chili verde post!" But it wasn't.
Heh, I'm such a stinker.
And I'm a meat pixie, can't catch me !!!
Ingenious!
Green with envy.
The kids are little engineers in the making. I'm struggling for a BS in my 40's. Your kids know shit instinctively that a lot of adults with the same equipment might not figure out.
After all Food IS Science. Go Tink and Tank!
