FRIED PICKLED JALAPENOS

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield about 1 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup, grated extra-sharp yellow Cheddar
1 (16-ounce) can whole pickled jalapenos
2 cups buttermilk
2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
Canola or peanut oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Serving suggestions: sour cream and shredded iceberg or Romaine lettuce
  • Combine the cheeses in a small bowl. Using a paring knife, make an incision the length of each jalapeno (don't cut the peppers in half). Remove the seeds then carefully fill each pepper with cheese. Dip the stuffed peppers in buttermilk then roll them in flour. (If you prefer a thicker crust, repeat the process.)
  • Fill a large frying pan with about 3 inches of oil and heat over medium-high until a thermometer registers a temperature of 350 degrees F. (The oil temperature can also be tested by dripping a little water into the oil. If the oil sizzles immediately, the oil is hot enough.)
  • Working in batches, fry the peppers, turning them once or twice, until they are crisp and golden. Drain the peppers on paper towels. Let them cool for about 10 minutes then serve them on a bed of shredded lettuce topped with sour cream.

EASY PICKLED JALAPENOS

Homemade pickled jalapenos are a treat to have on hand for chilis, tacos, salads and sandwiches. Pouring hot brine over them instead of boiling them gives them a pleasant fresh crispness instead of the soft texture of the store-bought variety.

Time 45m

Yield 1 pint

Number Of Ingredients 6

2/3 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 onion, sliced thinly (about 1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon Kosher salt
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
5 large jalapenos, cut into 1/8-inch rounds

Steps:

  • Combine the vinegar, 2/3 cup water, onions, salt, peppercorns and coriander in a small pot, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Put the jalapenos in a heatproof 1-pint jar and pour the hot pickling mixture over them. Allow them to sit and soak up the flavor for 30 minutes up to overnight-the longer they sit, the more they will soften and absorb flavor. Stored in the refrigerator, they will keep for up to 1 month.

PICKLED JALAPEñOS



Pickled Jalapeños image

Ask any Mexican if they have pickled jalapeños in their pantry, and the answer is usually a resounding yes. More than a condiment, they are an absolute necessity. Incredibly versatile, they can be tucked into tacos, quesadillas and sandwiches, mixed into tuna salads or eggs for omelets, or served as garnishes, crowning nachos, hot dogs and pizzas. The tangy brine, which can be used to punch up any vinaigrette, tames the heat of the chiles. There are countless store-bought options - and people tend to be loyal to particular brands - but pickling your own is easy, and allows you to customize to taste, altering the vegetable ratios, herbs or sugar content. Inspired by fruit-based vinegars available in the Mexican countryside, this version combines white distilled vinegar with natural rice vinegar, adding a dose of sweetness.

Time 12h15m

Yield 6 to 7 cups

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup vegetable oil
6 ounces white pearl onions (or trimmed spring onion bulbs)
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 pound whole jalapeños (stems intact)
1/2 pound medium carrots, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick on the diagonal
2 cups distilled white vinegar
1 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
5 dried bay leaves
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
5 whole cloves, stems removed and discarded, rounded tops crushed between fingertips
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons kosher or sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large (12-inch) skillet or a heavy pot, heat the oil over medium-high until hot but not smoking. Add the onions and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally, until their outer layer begins to soften. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until it barely begins to turn golden. Incorporate the jalapeños and carrots, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring a couple times, until the jalapeño skins begin to slightly dull and wrinkle.
  • Stir in all remaining ingredients and simmer briskly for about 7 minutes, until the liquid reduces and the vegetables soften. Turn off the heat and let cool.
  • Transfer the pickled vegetables and their liquid into a container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 12 hours. (They will last for at least 1 month.)

Tips:

  • To make sure your pickled jalapeños are crispy, use fresh peppers that are firm and have no blemishes.
  • Slice the peppers into uniform rings or spears so that they cook evenly.
  • Soak the pepper slices in a mixture of vinegar, water, sugar, and salt for at least 24 hours before frying. This will help to remove some of the heat from the peppers and give them a tangy flavor.
  • When you're ready to fry the peppers, drain them from the pickling solution and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help to prevent them from splattering when you add them to the hot oil.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the pepper slices and fry them until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Drain the fried peppers on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the fried pickled jalapeños immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Fried pickled jalapeños are a delicious and versatile snack or appetizer. They can be served on their own, with dipping sauce, or used as a topping for tacos, nachos, or burgers. With their crispy texture, tangy flavor, and just the right amount of heat, fried pickled jalapeños are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
