OK saw this in the news paper today. Did not know if it should go here or in Side Dishes, but here goes.
A sample from Jacques Pepin's new book.
I thought it will be Killer. And I needed to share it.
EGGS IN A PEPPER BOAT
15 min prep, 8 min cooking, 4 servings.
2 cubanelle, poblano, or banana peppers - 4 oz each
1tsp EVOO
4 tsp water
1/2 tsp salt
6 tsp of grated chedder chz
4 ex lg eggs
1/4 tsp of fresh ground pepper
2 tsp +/- of fresh cilantro leaves
1) split peppers in half, and remove seeds and stems, if you want. Arrange them cut side down in a large skillet; add oil, water, and 1/4 tsp of salt. Cook uncovered over med heat, turning occasionally, until the peppers are softened somewhat but still firm, about 4 min.
2) remove the skillet from heat; if necessary turn peppers over so the hollow side is up. place chz in the peppers. break an egg into each one, and sprinkle eggs with remaining 1/4 tsp of salt and the pepper.
3) return the skillet to the stove, cover and cook over med heat until egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 3 to 4 min. transfer to plates sprinkle with cilantro and serve immediately.
I can see some tweeking, but the main part of this sounds fantastic. The photo was great.
