yes, actually my post sandwhich pepper routine consists of about 3 slices of banana peppers and one pepperoncini. i'm diggin' it.
pehaps next week i may incorperate olives into the mix.
stay tuned.
I put em on tuna sandwiches from subway. bomb.
the spelling was new to me, too. til i googled it i assumed it was spelled "peppercini" as i always heard it pronounced "pepperchini"...
I thought pepperoncini were red. I had an Italian subletter who once left behind a lil jar of dried ones (the itemized pr0n on PPV came later on) but the cinis were fiyah.
They had a cat?
Or are you talking about Dagwood?
pepperoncini are hot
really ? it's hard to get spicy foods in the us. the ones i have are as mild as vanilla ice cream.
while we are on spicy foods ? anybody know a place in the us that sells that hot mustard they use in europe/france ? i know there is stuff that says it is spicy but it's not spicy at all. i've looked everywhere too. my brother brought some from france and that shit cleans out your sinus' it's so hot.
Szug
2 bunches cilantro
1 bunch parsley (preferably Italian)
4-5 cloves garlic, peeled
2 serrano peppers or 4 Thai red chili peppers, stemmed
1/2 cup olive oil, plus extra if needed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt or 1 teaspoon table salt
1/2 lemon, juice of
Cut and discard the visible, leafless stems from the cilantro and parsley.
Wash and pat dry.
Place the cilantro and parsley in a blender with the remaining ingredients.
Blend at low speed, stoppng often to smash down the ingredients as they combine.
Turn up speed and blend thoroughly.
Place in a storage container, taste and adjust salt, and top with a little oil as you would pesto.
This lasts for a month if stored in an airtight container.
Agreed.
Props to the pepperoncini. In a salad, on a sandwich, straight out the jar...
capers
pimentos
roasted red peppers
fresh mozzarella
anchovies
Gotta get them fresh, not soaked in vinegar. Same way with bananna peppers.
I made... I mean, made a pizza tonight, bought a fresh bananna pepper from the grocery store, cut it up... roasted my mouth. Much more than the usual pre-sliced and pickled kind.
i know, it's weird... i had a friend who would pop them out of the jar like it was no thing and i thought he was crazy, cause i'd be nibbling, but now i've gotten to the "straight out the jar" phase and they go down nice...
