LAMB AND FETA PATTIES WITH RED PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• Make relish:
• Bring vinegar and sugar to a boil in a 2-quart nonreactive heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then boil, uncovered, 1 minute. Add remaining relish ingredients and simmer briskly, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until peppers and apple are tender, about 25 minutes.
• Make patties while relish is simmering:
• Preheat broiler.
• Pulse bread, scallion, garlic, and mint in a food processor until finely chopped and add to lamb in a bowl along with egg, feta, salt, and pepper. Blend with your hands until just combined (do not overwork mixture, or patties will be tough). Form into 4 1/2-inch patties (about 1/2 inch thick).
• Broil patties on oiled rack of a broiler pan 5 inches from heat until browned but still slightly pink in center, about 4 minutes on each side. Serve patties with relish.

FAJITA BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• If you can not find 3 different colors of peppers, use what you can find, as long as they're sweet peppers.
• Wash and remove the core and seeds from peppers; slice peppers lengthwise into 1/2" wide strips; if you cut them too narrow, they'll go limp before they brown.
• Heat a large heavy bottomed pot for several minutes over high heat; (I use my dutch oven).
• Add oil, swirl to coat bottom of pot.
• Add garlic, then peppers.
• Keep the heat high and stir frequently with a wooden spoon-a spatter-screen is helpful to keep oil contained while it cooks- it should sizzle and snap as it cooks or the heat is too low.
• You want the peppers' skins to get brown patches;cook until tender-crisp.
• Sprinkle with salt, stir and serve.

STEAK, ONION, AND PEPPER FAJITAS

Steps:

• Combine the steak, tequila, and lime juice in a plastic bag; marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Discard the marinade.

• Grill steak until no longer pink on the inside, about 8 minutes per side. Remove from grill and slice into 1/4-inch strips. Arrange strips on a serving plate.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, salt, and paprika to the oil and stir. When the mixture is hot, add the onions and peppers and cook until the peppers are tender. Pour the mixture over the steak strips and serve immediately.
