Chicken and Peppers 9/26

 


Chicken Pepperoni. Still have a few peppers and this is my fav chicken dish. 3 big breasts, 2 cans diced tomato, 1 onion, 2 cloves garlic, red wine. Brown chicken and cook down everything in same pan. Pile on top of chicken and cook in 350 oven 40 min. I serve it over rice.

I had about 10 peppers for this dish. 8 Anaheim and 2 banana.

Tabasco Peppers 9/14

 


I've been mostly harvesting them green this year. Wanted some orange and red ones to put in the small Jack Daniels bottle with vinegar. Still some green ones on the plants.

Black-Eyed Pea Soup

 


Making this up. 1lb. dried peas. 1 big onion, 2 stalks celery, 2 cloves garlic. 1 can diced tomato, 1 can Rotel tomato. Chicken broth. Seasoning meat (I am using 2 pork chops.) Thyme, bay leaf, cayenne.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-eyed_pea

I always boil dried beans or peas for 20 minutes first, then drain, and start over. Removes impurities and makes for a smoother finish. The pork chops I am cooking first, then simmer in the soup for a while, remove and reserve the meat and add bones back. Add the chopped pork back to soup in last 30 minutes of cooking.
