Peasant Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings in skillet. Add next five ingredients to drippings. Reduce heat to medium; cook, covered, stirring frequently, until vegetables are crisp-tender, 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cut sausage diagonally into 1/2-in. slices; place on top of vegetables. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes. Crumble bacon; sprinkle on top.

Steps:

• Preheat grill over medium-high heat.
• Wash peppers and slice in half cross ways and remove the seeds. Mix cream cheese with herbs, spices and green onions. Slice the pheasant thinly. Stuff the jalapenos loosely with the cheese mixture and sliced pheasant. Wrap peppers with 1/2 slice of bacon. Place 4 pepper halves on a skewer and grill until done, about 8 minutes.

Steps:

• Cut the pheasant breast into 36 pieces, and place into a bowl. Pour the liquid from the jalapeno peppers over the pheasant, stir, and set aside to marinate for 20 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Drain the marinade from the pheasant and discard. Place a slice of jalapeno pepper onto each piece of pheasant breast, and wrap with a third of a strip of bacon. Skewer 6 of the pheasant pieces on each skewer.
• Cook on the preheated grill, turning frequently, until the bacon is crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the skewers from the pheasant pieces, and place a toothpick into each piece to serve.

Steps:

• Heat a large, deep skillet over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan. Add sausage meat. Crumble sausage meat as it browns. Add chopped garlic to the pan. When all of the crumbles have browned evenly, deglaze the pan drippings using chicken or vegetable broth. Stir in crushed tomatoes and bring the sauce up to a bubble, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Stir cream into your sauce, this will blush the color and cut the acidity of the tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir peas and basil into your sauce to combine. Toss hot drained penne rigate in pan with the sauce, then transfer pasta to serving bowl.

Steps:

• 1. Place peppers in two 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pans. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss to coat.
• 2. Bake at 400° for 30-35 minutes until tender and skins are slightly blackened. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Bake 15-20 minutes longer or until lightly browned. 3 points per serving
