Homemade Pickled Jalapeños Recipe

Image

I am promising you that once you try making these you wont go back to the canned ones. My daughter and myself like the pickled things so this was a hit. Sometimes you can toss in some veggies like the carrots or bell peppers, they taste delicious. This is the best recipe for pickled jalapeños. Options are endless, you can  have these with burgers, nachos and so on. Usually we buy this from store, but when the last one got over, I thought of giving it a try and made them. It came out perfect. I am becoming a fan of refrigerator pickling, it’s very easy and this recipe is simple to make. Please try this recipe and let me know how it turned out. Ingredients: Jalapeños- 10- 12 numbers Garlic- 2 cloves Vinegar- 1 Cup Salt- 1 tbsp Water- 1 Cup Method: Cut the jalapeños peppers i...

Mussels in shrimp stock Recipe

Image
The good thing about shrimp stock is that you can't make it before you've eaten enough shrimps or gamba's to have 250g of heads, shells and tails :) Freeze them or use the next day: Cover them with water and add 2  quartered onions , 2 sliced carrots , 3 sliced celery sticks and 100g sliced ginger. Bring to the boil and simmer for half an hour Strain and add 1 tbsp tomato paste and a little salt Bring back to the boil, stir well, remove from the heat and chill. Heat a heavy pan with 3 tbsp  olive oil. When the oil is hot add 1 kg mussels and cover with the lid. The hot oil will add a light smoking flavour to the mussels. Add 250ml shrimp stock , 125ml white wine , 1 scant tsp grated ginger and 1 scant tsp minced garlic . Stir and put back the lid for another couple of minutes. Serve when the contents are lightly bubbling and the mussels are done. Freeze the rest of the stock for later use (Recipe by Uri Buri) from simple food, looking g...
