MOINK BALLS (moo + oink)

Ingredients
* Meatballs
* Bacon rashers
* Fav rubs

Cooking method
Cut bacon to size (about 1/2 a rash) and use these to wrap the meatballs individually using toothpicks to hold them together. Dust them with your fav rub ingredients (I use salt, pepper, chilli & garlic powder). Place in a smoker with your fav wood chip untill cooked. If you dont have a smoker you can bake, fry or BBQ them...SIMPLE!

JALAPENO POPPERS

* Cheese & chive spread
* Bread crumbs or batter

Cooking method
Cut Jalapenos in half lengthways & throw away the seeds & membrane.
Fill cheese & chive spread in each length of Jalapeno pepper.
Batter or bread crumb and fry untill cooked. You can also substitute the batter/bread crumbs for bacon wrap (moink ball recipe), smoke them, bake them or bbq them.

PICKLED (add fav ingredient here)

Ingredients
* Jalapenos, eggs, onions, cucumber (your choice or combine)
* 2 cups vinegar (white, malt or apple cider)
* 2 cups water
* 1/2 cup olive oil
* 2 teaspoons salt
* 2 teaspoons of spices (your choice)


Cooking method
For pickled eggs hard boil & remove shell.
For pickled onions use the small brown ones and peel outer layer.
For pickled chillis slice them or use them whole.
For pickled cucumber slice them or use them whole.

Put above contents in a large jar ready to be pickled.
Boil the remaining ingredients and then let simmer for 2 minutes.
Pour in jar making sure to submerge entire contents and put the lid on.
Place jar in boiling water for 20 minutes to completely seal (preserving jars & lids only).
Check seals and refridgerate allowing 2 weeks to pickle...

Heat sealed preserving jars may last months in storage.
If not using preserving jars I would eat ASAP after curing...
 
those Jalapeno peppers look alright. what country is that from.

The idea would have originated in Mexico where they have been stuffing peppers (Chilli Rellenos) for centuries - although the poppers are probably an Americanised "Tex Mex" version. I have had them in USA and Canada in various forms. Sometimes they will cut the chilli in half lengthwise and then put some monteray jack cheese in the cavity dip it in egg and crumb it then deep fry it other times they stuff them whole and dip them in batter. If you are interested in them check my recipe for them - damn tasty and addictive!
 
Hey for the pickles, what kind of weight are we looking at for the solids vs liquids?
 
Awesome OP, page bookmarked & those poppers will be made. :icon_drool2:
