Tangerine Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• Peel the tangerines or clementines, discarding the skins. Remove any thick pith and strings from the peeled fruit, but leaving the membranes intact, and separate the fruit into segments. Set aside.
• In a large skillet over the lowest possible heat, combine 1/4 cup oil with the rosemary or thyme, honey, cloves and red-pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer until the oil is fragrant and infused with the aromatics, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer the mixture to a heatproof bowl and return the skillet to the stove. Crank the heat to high and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Once the oil is just smoking, carefully add the fruit segments in a single layer (they may spatter a bit). Season with salt and pepper and cook until deep golden-brown, turning halfway through, about 1 or 2 minutes per side. Gently transfer the fruit to the infused oil.
• Top each slice of baguette with charred fruit, a drizzle of the oil and some flaky salt-or let the fruit segments marinate in the oil at room temperature for up to 1 day. (They will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow to come to room temperature before serving.)

Steps:

• Season tuna on both sides with salt. Dust 1 side of the tuna with the peppers. Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Sear the tuna, pepper side down, until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes, turn over and continue cooking for 2 minutes for medium-rare doneness.
• To plate, divide the melted leeks onto 4 serving plates. Arrange each tuna steak on top of the melted leeks. Place a tablespoon of the Tangerine-Green Onion Relish on top of the tuna, and drizzle the entire dish with the Red-Wine Pomegranate Reduction.
• Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Place leeks, onion, carrot, celery, and water to cover in a large pot and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain well and thinly slice.
• Heat oil and butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add leaks, season with salt and pepper and cook for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Place wine and port in a small saucepan and reduce to 1 cup. Whisk in pomegranate molasses and sugar and taste for sweetness. Whisk in cold butter just before serving and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Make dressing:
• Whisk together scallions, chile, juice, oil, and vinegar in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Make salad:
• Cut chayote halves lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices and arrange in 1 layer in two thirds of a lightly oiled shallow baking pan. Put bell pepper quarters, skin sides up, in other third of pan. Roast in middle of oven, uncovered, until chayote is browned in spots and bell pepper skins are blistered, about 30 minutes. Immediately add chayote to dressing and toss to coat.
• Transfer hot bell peppers to a small bowl. Cover and let stand 10 minutes, then peel. Cut bell peppers into 1/4-inch-thick strips and add to chayote with any pepper juices accumulated in bowl. Add lettuce and toss to coat.

Steps:

• Using small sharp knife, cut peel and white pith from tangerines. Working over medium bowl, cut between membranes to release segments. Add olives to bowl.
• Whisk oil and next 4 ingredients in another medium bowl to blend. Add to tangerine mixture; toss to coat. Season tangerine mixture with salt and pepper.
• Divide lettuce among 4 plates. Top lettuce with tangerine mixture. Sprinkle salads with parsley.

Steps:

• Place poblano peppers in a bowl; add tangerine juice, parsley, and garlic salt. Stir to evenly coat.
• Cook and stir poblano peppers mixture in a skillet over medium heat until juice evaporates and peppers are lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Place pork tenderloin strips in medium bowl; sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper and toss with cornstarch to coat. Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced ginger; stir 30 seconds. Add pork tenderloin strips; stir-fry until pork is beginning to brown and is almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Add tangerine pieces; toss 30 seconds. Add sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and Chinese five-spice powder; boil until sauce in skillet thickens slightly, tossing to blend, about 1 minute. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil, bok choy, and half of sliced green onions. Stir-fry just until bok choy is wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Transfer to bowl; sprinkle with remaining sliced green onions and serve.
