This beautiful little pepper surprise was waiting for me to enjoy on a perfect little plate… little did my stomach know what a delightful surprise was in store for it….
Inside of the pepper was a combination of fresh corn, black beans, kidney beans, lemon garlic orzo pasta,tomatoes, peppers, salsa, and onions, Darryl topped it off with the salsa and melted cheddar cheese and a touch of chopped fresh basil….
it was hard to finish this whole pepper of delciousness all by myself but I managed…
This delicious feast was waiting for me when I got home from work on my First day of school this year….
Darryl took potatoes sliced really thin, added some tomatoes on top, chopped some garlic, added pepper and salt with a dash of chopped basil, tucked it all into time foil to place on the grill right next to some delicious t-bone and porterhouse steaks from Beef Oreo…
The results were delcious with a nice bottle of fine red wine from our friend Doug Dahl…
A seasonal favorite… this spicy treat is great with a block of cream cheese, add the Relish on top and heat in the oven until it’s all melted… serve warm with crackers and enjoy….
Make sure you wear gloves when you cut all the
peppers, there is nothing worse then burning hands
after making the relish…
Allow the peppers to cook down with the vinegar and pectin…. once they have come to a full rolling boil, add in the sugar… then continue to stir until it returns to a full rolling boil, and boil for one minutes then remove from the heat… using a canning funnel and your prepared jars put the relish into the jars and seal….
After you add the sugar make sure to mix well ….
It all begins with chopped Swiss chard, leeks, hot peppers and purple onion…
then cook breaded chicken breast and a few french fries…

And we have Darryl to thank for today’s Recipe…
These are the steps as stated by him…
First lay out some tin foil, and put some olive oil, salt, and lots of pepper (or a little depending on how much you love pepper, Darryl thinks everything is better with lots of pepper)
Scrub and clean your fresh dug red potatoes and snap the ends of your beans
Lay the veggies on the foil and then crush up some Sage; sprinkle it on top
Dice up a clove of garlic add it on top
Next in a very artful fashion fold up your tinfoil into a little tent
Place the tent on the grill for 15 minutes
Open the tent very carefully there will be lots of stream from the veggies
ENJOY!!!
The fresh Red Potatoes are ready to be dug…..
Here is a super simple way I make a side dish out of them…
Scrub them clean in the sink under water
Fill a pot of boiling water and cook the potatoes until they are soft
While they are cooking; in the food processor add onions, garlic, a little butter, and some of your favorite herbs…. in this picture I added basil, and cilantro….
Blend up those, and then add the potatoes when they are done cooking, add some milk to smooth them out and a touch of salt and pepper to taste…
Done and done …. serve and enjoy!!!
