Food Coops

[MartyFunkhouser]

So are the chilies we received Anaheim chilies. I'm considering trying some chili verde if they are.

The pluots are off the chains! I think I've only had them once or twice before, but they are wonderful. Goofy name, but who cares?

for nearly two weeks I've been reading this thread's title as "Food Cops" and thought it was some new Food Network reality show.

I keep reading it as "food coops", like a chicken coop. Sounds gross.

I just got on to ask the same question. My wife guessed they were Anaheim.

What do you do with 11 Anaheim chilies?


Please post your chili verde recipe.

I changed the title just for you.

Edit: Doesn't look like the change is showing up anywhere except in my original post.

I'm going to give landpoke's recipe a try. I am planning on roasting the chiles tonight. I guess it is actually a green chile recipe.

I guess you guys will continue to eat your food out of a hen house. Nasty.

That look good. I'll have to give it a try.

Thank you landpoke the green chili turned out very good. I kind of failed a the roasting the chiles and probably had more skins left on them than I should. It still turned out well. I did want a lot more a kick. That may come from the quality of the chiles or not roasting them properly. Next time, I'm going to mix
in a couple of habanero peppers with the oil when it first is in the pan. That should give me any of the heat that I want.

Using the Le Creuset, I did decided to go the slow cook route. Instead of going to the crock pot though, I just put the pot in the oven at 250 and let it cook. Great recipe and nice and simple to make.

So were all the locations' shipments delayed or just mine?

Or did someone just randomly call me up and go steel my food and let me go way later to discover that I had been had?

For those with an overabundance of plums (we still had a bunch from two weeks ago, too), what did you do with them? I made plum jam. Mmmmmm. This stuff would also be awesome on ice cream.

I've been eating plums like crazy. Plum jam sounds good.

I was eating plums like a madwoman before they went bad.

The jam turned out well, and keeps for about three months in the fridge. I have bread rising, so I'll let you know how it tastes when I'm not just eating it with a spoon.

Apple pear butter with the co-op spoils this time, before the fruit spoiled.

2 lbs. apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1 lb. pears " "
3 c. sugar
Juice of one lemon
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. kosher salt

I brought it to a boil and then cooked it over medium heat in a 5 qt. pot until the liquid dropped off a spoon in thick, heavy drops. I then pureed the mixture in the blender.

It's pretty sweet, so I might cut some of the sugar if I have more fruit like this in future weeks. I think it would be good on ice cream, too.
