Any recipes that use heavy cream and jalapeno peppers?

Last edited Fri Nov 13, 2020, 08:44 PM - Edit history (1)

I've searched Google, Yummly and Cooks Illustrated. I can't get them to limit the search to "chili pepper" or "hot pepper." Maybe I don't know how to search Google. Anyway, I have some of both that I want to use up. Ideas?????

I have a recipe for anaheim chiles, roasted and stuffed with corn, cotilla cheese, sour cream and then baked. Delicious.

Maybe you have poblano peppers? Or serrano? Or jalapeno?

15. Pepper Ice Cream.
Fri Nov 13, 2020, 09:13 PM
Nov 2020

You can roast, skin, and cool the pepper, chop them up fine, then add in some other ingredients for a good flavor profile; I'd actually think that cumin and brown sugar might be a good mix.
Also, mash up some avocado, maybe also a quarter cup of finely grated cotija?
Make your custard as normal for ice cream (brown or demerara sugar instead of white) throw in all your other ingredients, and churn, churn, churn.
Might be great after a nice hanger steak fajitas dinner...

16. Do you have a sieve, a candy thermometer and some cheesecloth?
Fri Nov 13, 2020, 09:56 PM
Nov 2020

1. Put your heavy cream in a saucepan or a double boiler and heat it to 190 degrees F. Hold at that temperature 3 minutes. (If you have no thermometer, bring to a slow simmer.) Stir constantly with a rubber scraper.

2. Add a tablespoon of lemon juice and continue to simmer 3 more minutes.

3. Take the pan off the heat and let it sit until it cools off.

4. Scrape the contents of the saucepan into a cheesecloth-lined sieve and let it drip overnight. Chop the jalapenos and remove the seeds, stems etc.

5. When it finishes dripping, put the dairy product (the name of it is mascarpone cheese) into a bowl, add the jalapenos and salt to taste.

Ba'corn Cheese Corn
This bacon-studded 'cheese corn' is a popular bar snack in Korea, made of pure bacon-y, creamy, cheesy, corny decadence. The original recipe uses a combination of mayonnaise and sweetened condensed milk, but we're going with heavy cream here for a lighter approach. This may be the first time in my career that I've 'lightened up' a recipe by adding a cup of heavy cream. Garnished with green onions, this would be amazing with a cold beer!
prep:
15 mins
cook:
25 mins
total:
40 mins
Servings:
10
Yield:
1 10-inch skillet
Ingredients
Ingredient Checklist

1 (8 ounce) package bacon, chopped
2 (16 ounce) packages frozen sweet corn, thawed
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch green onions, sliced
2 jalapeno peppers, diced, or more to taste
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 cup heavy cream
2 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
4 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Directions
Instructions Checklist

Step 1

Cook bacon in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until almost crisp and fat is rendered, 7 to 8 minutes.
Step 2

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Step 3

Drain frozen corn thoroughly in a colander. Add 1/2 of the corn to the skillet with the bacon. Cook and stir until kernels just start to turn golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic, green onions, and jalapenos; cook until vegetables start to soften and sweeten up, 3 to 4 minutes. Tilt pan to drain off some of the fat, using a paper towel to soak it up.
Step 4

Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Pour in cream; stir and bring to a boil. Stir in the remaining corn until heated through. Turn off the heat and add about 2/3 of the mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheese. Stir to combine. Top corn with remaining cheese and a sprinkle of cayenne.
Step 5

Broil until heated through and top is browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

A tip - AllRecipes.com will let you search by ingredients. I do that a lot when my pantry stock is getting low or I accidentally bought something odd.

20. Two more cream/jalapeno recipes.

Here’s a surprisingly addictive (and easy) recipe from the NYT.

https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1021035-baked-rajma-punjabi-style-red-beans-with-cream

My Peruvian Potatoes

This is the other cream/jalapeno recipe that I’m planning on cooking and the reason for my having extra cream and peppers to use up. (TJ’s insists on only selling jalapenos in bags of 5).

There are lots and lots of recipes for this classic Peruvian dish, based on a peanuts, cheese, hot pepper sauce for potatoes. This is my combination of the best of them (to my mind). I usually cut this in half.

Boiled potatoes (whole small or large cut into pieces)
1 ½ C salted peanuts
1 ½ C heavy cream
½ C milk
3 C or less grated cheese (Monterey jack, cheddar, whatever)
4 jalapenos
4 garlic cloves
2 onions
1 t turmeric
Salt
Canola oil
Small can of sliced black olives.

Blend all ingredients except potatoes, canola oil and black olives. Add olive juice to the blender.
Cook blended ingredients on low in greased pan until thick.
Pour sauce over boiled potatoes. Sprinkle with black olives.

https://blog.thermoworks.com/chicken/baked-chicken-breasts-juicy-temperature/

it is delicious, you can use any cuts and don't have to use (or pound) boneless skinless breast

Ingredients

1/2 pound tomatillos, husked and rinsed
3 large cloves garlic, peeled
3 serrano chiles, stemmed (or fewer chilies to taste)
1/3 C loosely packed cilantro, plus more for garnish
salt to taste
1/2 C heavy cream
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

you can sub regular tomatoes or better yet green ones, with a little lime juice for the tomatillos
personally there is no sub for cilantro but I have heard of using parsley or just skip if you can't handle but it won't tast as good

detailed instructions are at link but basically roast to blacken skins of chiles, garlic, and tomatillos, (peel green chiles, others don't bother) throw in blender with cilantro and salt add cream. cover chicken and bake.

instead of roasting the vegs. makes a fast, rich and spicy sauce for chicken, might be good on fish or shrimp too.
