CHIPOTLES (SMOKED JALAPENOS)
Chipotles have become sort of a trendy thing right now, but we have been using them for years in all kinds of things. Since I grow all kinds of hot peppers, I figured I would just make my own chipotles. All it takes is a smoker of some sort, peppers and patience. The best kind of smoker for this is a cold smoker or a side smoker, to keep the peppers from cooking during the smoking process. I smoke both ripe and green japalenos and use them for different flavors. You can also do cowhorns or any fleshy hot pepper. Prep time does not include firing up the smoker. 4 hours smoking time is an estimate. Time will vary according to your smoker and how meaty and large your peppers are. It also takes longer for green, grassy flavored peppers than it does for fully ripe ones. 1/4 cup chips is just to start the process, you will need up to 2 pounds, possibly more.

Steps:
- Fire up any kind of smoker: dry, water, electric, side or stovetop. Keep heat very low, under 230 degrees if possible.
- Stem your peppers, but don't seed them. Place peppers in a single layer on the grate.
- Using pecan (traditionally) or another wood according to your taste, bring up a good dense smoke. Keep the smoke as dense as possible, while keeping a very close eye on the heat.
- When using a stovetop smoker, after bringing the smoker up to temperature and producing smoke, reduce the heat to low. The process will take a lot longer but you won't cook your peppers.
- Check them every hour or so. They're ready when they have shrivelled up and look like dark leather.
- I just put mine in a canning jar, put on the lid and keep them in the cupboard. They keep nearly forever, if they are smoked through.
- If you want to pack them in adobo, this is a good recipe: #140353 Adobo de Chile [url]http://www.recipezaar.com/140353[/url].

Steps:
- Put on your food prep gloves. Slice each jalapeno open lengthwise using a paring knife, then make a small crosswise cut at the stem end to form a T.
- Insert your (gloved!) fingertip through the top of the opening and gently wiggle the core loose, then remove. Rinse under cold water to remove any additional seeds. Pat dry gently with a paper or clean towel and set aside. Repeat with the remaining peppers.
- Combine the Cheddar, Asiago, cream cheese and smoked hot sauce in a large bowl until smooth and well blended.
- Gently nudge the cheese filling into each pepper with a spoon. To close the peppers, gently squeeze each one until it resembles its original shape. Don't worry if the peppers tear a bit, just squeeze them shut.
- Sift together the breadcrumbs, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a shallow bowl.
- Lightly beat the eggs in a second shallow bowl.
- One at a time, hold the peppers by the stems and dip them in the beaten eggs, letting the excess drip off, and roll in the breadcrumbs; dip in the eggs again and reroll in breadcrumbs. Set on a plate to dry slightly.
- In the meantime, heat 2 1/2 inches of the oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed cast-iron skillet until a deep-fry thermometer registers 325 degrees F. Add three or four of the jalapeno poppers, making sure not to crowd your pan, and fry in batches until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Keep an eye on the temperature of the oil and adjust the heat as necessary so it stays steady.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate; season with salt. Repeat with the remaining poppers and serve immediately.
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, slice the jalapeños uniformly.
- For a smoky flavor, roast the jalapeños over a grill or in a smoker.
- If you prefer a milder heat level, remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños before cooking.
- To prevent the jalapeños from becoming soggy, pat them dry with paper towels before coating them with oil.
- For a crispy texture, roast the jalapeños at a high temperature.
- To preserve the smoky flavor, store the jalapeños in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Smoky jalapeños are a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They add a smoky, spicy flavor to tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and nachos. They can also be used as a topping for pizzas, salads, and sandwiches. Smoky jalapeños are a great way to add flavor and heat to your favorite recipes.
