Limpin’ Susan is often called the wife of Hoppin’ John, the pilau of peas and rice that Gullah cooks have made for generations in the South Carolina Sea Islands and Lowcountry, and that is also common in the Caribbean. Like Hoppin' John, the dish takes many forms depending on whose kitchen you grew up in. Some recipes start with fried bacon and end with washed long-grain rice, onions and okra steaming over simmering water for 45 minutes. Others call for simmering everything in chicken stock, or mixing chicken broth and cornstarch, then mixing the broth into cooked rice. B.J. Dennis, a Charleston chef, likes his Limpin’ Susan more like a dry stir-fry, akin to what one might eat in Trinidad. The rice is cooked ahead of time, so liquid is fully absorbed and the grains remain distinct. This recipe is vegetarian, although Mr. Dennis likes to toss in a handful of chopped shrimp when the onions are softening.

B.J. Dennis’s Okra Stir-Fry With Rice

oil oil

okra

garlic

ginger

peppers,

salt

black pepper

cooked long-grain non-aromatic rice,

Pour oil into an 8-inch skillet, adding more, if needed, to make sure it coats the entire bottom of the pan. Heat over medium to medium-high heat and add the okra. Cook, stirring occasionally, until okra is slightly browned and tender, about 4 minutes. Cover to allow okra to steam for a bit, until tender, about 1 to 4 minutes more.

Add everything else but the rice and cook for 2 minutes more, stirring frequently. Increase heat to high and add rice, stirring gently but constantly for about 2 minutes. If you want the rice to brown. like fried rice, you can cook the mixture longer. Taste frequently, and add more seasoning and oil throughout the process as needed. Serve hot.

Hatch green chile season only comes once a year in late summer and when they&#39;re gone, they&#39;re gone!  Roasting these prized chiles in your oven is not only easy but will fill your home with the tantalizing aroma only Hatch green chiles produce!

How to Roast and Freeze Hatch Green Chiles

Hatch green chiles

Preheat broiler on HIGH and place a rack 6-8 inches from the element.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Spread the Hatch green chiles out on the prepared baking sheet.

Place in the oven and broil 6-8 minutes or until blackened, keeping an eye on the chiles.

Flip the chiles over with tongs.

Return to the oven and broil 5-7 minutes on the second side until blackened.

Immediately place a baking sheet of the same size over the chiles and let rest for approximately 15-20 minutes.

Peel and seed the chiles.  Chop and place into snack-size zipper-top bags and freeze or use in your favorite recipe within 3-4 days.

A quick and easy, non-fermented hot sauce using whatever red hot pepper you have. Similar to Frank&#039;s Red Hot Sauce or Sriracha.

Homemade Hot Sauce

peppers

onion

water

apple cider vinegar vinegar

tsp honey (optional)

Wash and remove stems from peppers. Chop roughly into small pieces (Kitchen scissors work great for slender peppers). Keep or remove seeds and white ribs  depending on how much heat you want. The more you leave in, the hotter your sauce will be.

Combine peppers, garlic and onion with water in pot and simmer for 20 minutes until peppers are soft and water is almost all gone. Remove from heat and let cool for 15 minutes.

Add vinegar to mix and puree - either with immersion blender or blender.

Taste and add more salt if needed. If you prefer a little sweetness, add honey.

Strain out seeds using fine sieve or cheesecloth.

If mixture is too thick add more vinegar to desired texture and taste.

Pour into sterilized jars or bottles (pint/2cup/500ml). (Wash then boil in water for 10 minutes.)

Seal with lid and keep refrigerated for up to 6 months. Flavour will be best after letting it age for at least 2 weeks.

Makes about 2 cups or 100 teaspoon sized servings!

Add some sweet heat to sandwiches, favorite side dishes, cornbread, and much more for this recipe for Cowboy Candy, a.k.a. candied jalapeños. Serve on burgers, nachos, quesidillas, sandwiches (especially liver sausage sandwiches), hot dogs, pulled pork, crackers, mix into egg salads and pimento cheese.This recipe is a refrigerator pickle, so all jars must be stored in the fridge. When you are done, save the syrup: it&#39;s got so many uses.

Candied Pickled Jalapeños Recipe

jalapeños

white granulated sugar

vinegar

½ teaspoon Morton Coarse Kosher Salt

Prep. Thoroughly wash the jalapeños. Wear disposable gloves when cutting and handling hot peppers and safety glasses are not a bad idea. Think you&#39;re a tough guy and don&#39;t need the protection? Do it barehanded and then go take a leak. Then, while you&#39;re crying, wipe your eyes. But for goodness&#39; sake, don&#39;t make love for 24 hours unless you&#39;ve worn gloves. Once your protection is in place, cut off the top stem of each pepper then slice them into ⅛ inch (3.2 mm) rings, unless you are afraid they will be too hot. In this case, get a knife and reach down into the pepper with it and scrape off the white veins that hold the seeds (right). These veins also hold most of the heat. The seeds have some of the capsaicin, but not as much. Then rinse out the cavity and slice into ⅛ inch (3.2 mm) rings.

Cook. Cook the sugar, vinegar, salt, and water in a saucepan over medium heat until it boils and stir until all the sugar has dissolved.Before you proceed, beware. When you add the peppers to the hot syrup they will off-gas capsaicin, a.k.a. pepper spray, almost the same stuff the riot  police use. It can really fill the house with pepper gas. Please do not hover over the pan, and remember to turn on the overhead fan on your stove. I do the cooking on my grill or the side burner. I have found that an N95 surgical mask helps.Now add the peppers and the liquid will stop boiling. Wait for it to boil again, then turn it off after about 30 seconds. This will pasteurize the peppers. If you wish, leave it boil longer to reduce the spiciness. While the syrup is hot, use a slotted spoon to move the peppers into a very clean 12 ounce (29.6 ml) jar. Pack them in tight and pour in the syrup. Poke around with a fork until most of the air is gone, tighten the lid, and refrigerate. Keep refrigerated.

Serve. After a few hours the jalapeños will start losing the bright green color and the peppers and the syrup will swap their fluids. You can dig in then, but if you wait a few days, you will be rewarded for your patience.
