Excellent! More special rules...

"Hot" peppers, or just peppers? Scoville units a factor?

Generic peppers, hot or not. That would include bell and shisito as well.

Peppers of any kind, Sweet Bell to Ghost, are equally welcome. I'm going to vote on what I would most like to eat. Heat / scoville units are not a factor to me, but I'm only one vote so you are the judge on how you want to proceed. If you think more will vote for a fiery hot dish then go for it.

Patiently waiting for a delinquent thread so I can post a picture of Gwyneth Paltrow from Iron Man and ask if can enter that pepper...

In the mean time, this should be an interesting one. Since the main subject of this TD is peppers, is there any restriction on if they themselves need to be cooked on a grill, smoker or whatever?

Over/under on ABT entries?

Well, according to local legend Redhot would be cooking my entry and she often tries to set me on fire...

Would this be considered peppers being displayed in the final dish? A monster ABT from several years ago:

I see pepper both under and thru the bacon, so yes.

Pepper Stout Beef will be a close second

I’ll start this one out with Chile Rellenos. Please accept this as my entry into the “Extravaganza of Peppers” Throwdown.

I love Chile Rellenos and I caught some Poblano peppers on sale so I decided to make them for this Throwdown. (I never knew just how much work they are to make before today)

Everything was cooked on my kamado.


Now out to my gas grill to cook them up. Heat approx. 1/2" of oil in your skillet. Now dip each relleno in the egg mixture and fry up.



I heated up some frijoles and Spanish rice and plated it up with some Queso Fresca and Tapatio hot sauce.


Please use the photo below as my polling picture.

Muy Bueno!

Thanks Jed. I did this first thing so I wouldn't have to think of anything else to cook. Sorry.

Well played, I wasn't sure if I could get Poblano's here. But I am off on another tangent!
