Jalapenobutter Recipes

JALAPENO BUTTER

Steps:

• Squeeze the juice from the lemon.
• Use a fork to cream all the ingredients together.
• Cover, or wrap, and refrigerate until needed.

BUTTERMILK BISCUITS WITH JALAPENO JAM

Steps:

• For the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter, until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk all at once. Stir just until a shaggy dough is formed.
• On a lightly floured surface, gently knead the dough 3 or 4 times. Pat out the dough 1/2 inch thickness. With a 3 inch round biscuit cutter or glass dipped in flour, cut out the dough and transfer to a baking sheet. (You can also cut out squares with a sharp paring knife.) Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown and serve hot.
• For the relish: In a blender or food processor, puree the bell peppers and jalapeno chiles until smooth.
• In a 6-quart saucepan, combine the pureed peppers and chiles, sugar, and vinegar. Bring to a hard rolling boil and boil 1 minute. Add the pectin and return the mixture to a full rolling boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and skim any foam from the top. Immediately pour into hot, sterilized jars to 1/8inch of the tops. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth.
• Seal the jars with the flat lids and screw tops. Invert the jars for 5 minutes, the turn upright. After the jars are cool, check the seals by pressing the middle of the lid with your finger. If the lid springs up when your finger releases the lid, it is not sealed. Or use the USDA water bath method.

JALAPENO BUTTER!

Steps:

• Make sure that the Jalapenos are diced really small! Make sure that the butter is luke warm. With a fork, mix the stick of butter and Jalapenos together. Slowly stir in the garlic and you should have a creamy looking blend of butter! This is soooo goood! I just had it tonight for the 10th time!

PORTERHOUSE WITH JALAPENO BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high (if you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 3 to 4 seconds). Stir butter, jalapeno, and garlic in a bowl; set aside.
• Season both sides of steak with salt and pepper. Grill over hotter part of grill, covered, flipping once, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Slide to cooler part of grill; grill, covered, flipping once, until medium-rare, 7 to 8 minutes more per side. Remove from grill, and let rest 10 minutes. Serve with jalapeno butter. Filet mignon can be prepared this way as well. Sear two 8-ounce steaks over direct heat for three minutes per side; grill over indirect heat until medium-rare, five to six minutes more per side.

RIB-EYE WITH JALAPENO BUTTER

Steps:

• Stir together butter, jalapeno, and garlic in a small bowl. Heat grill to medium-high, with an indirect-heat zone. Generously season both sides of steak with kosher salt and pepper. Lightly brush grates with oil.
• Grill steak over direct heat until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Move to indirect heat; cook, covered, turning once, until a thermometer inserted in thickest part (avoiding bone) registers 125 degrees to 130 degrees for medium-rare, 7 to 8 minutes more per side. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes. Spread about 2 tablespoons jalapeno butter on steak; sprinkle with flaky salt. Serve with greens, onions, and more jalapeno butter on the side.

JALAPEñO BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small sauce pan set over medium heat, and when it foams, add the diced jalapeño.
• Continue cooking, swirling the mixture occasionally and stirring with a spoon to prevent the milk solids from sticking to the bottom of the pan, until the butter has turned brown and gives off a toasted, nutty aroma, approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly before tasting and add salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately with steamed clams, or as a sauce for sautéed fish.
