Pepper

[jpw23]

been playin' in the kitchen today, got out the coffee grinder, a bottle of crushed red pepper, a bottle of whole black peppercorns.......interesting flavor, a bit more heat than expected.....I can see some possibilities for this:biggrin:

Grind a little coffee with it, and use it to rub down a brisket. That would be a possibility. 8)

Looks like fun. I was out of ground white pepper today and needed some for my jambalaya. Found a jar of white peppercorns in the pantry. The spice grinder had a little toasted cumin seed residue in it. That was a nice combination too.

I swap rubs with a guy that makes a ground pepper blend that has white, black, 2 kinds of red, green and Szechuan peppers. There is some coriander in there too. Balance is the key, it is not super spicy and still has excellent flavor. I believe he starts with all peppercorns. For the holidays he added hot chipotle to his blend....that one has some heat.

I'm foolin' around with different chile powders in a pepper based brisket rub. There are some interesting flavors in the pepper world.

I'm with ya. If I could figure out how to combine the flavor of the canned green chili's (hatch I believe) with a fresh roasted cumin seed (way better in my opinion than the powdered stuff) and just a slight bit of heat. Man oh man. The fun we have.

I like ground coriander seed, but don't care for fresh cilantro. The Thai peppers are one of my favorite heirlooms growing in my garden. My seeds came straight from Viet Nam from a friend, many years ago.

Just rambling. I like peppers.

Been smoke-drying alot of peppers recently and grinding them for rubs...like Kevin said-- along w/ the fresh toasted cumin and other spices, it really wakes up your tastebuds....

Kevin, the key to bringing out the flavor with green chili is to use garlic.

Thanks Dog. I just put that on my white board in the kitchen so I'll remember.

I have a friend who moved from Massachusetts to Texas and discovered salsa. So he and his wife put in a small but effective garden of jalapeno peppers. Then one day they had a harvest and began dicing the peppers, which pretty much lasted most of the day. Well that evening there fingers burned so bad they both went to bed with their fingers submersed in bowls on icewater. I still laugh when he brings that story up.
