My first shot at ABT's - a new favorite

[chisoxjim]

With tips from this site, and others I tried ABT's yesterday as I was doing an all afternoon smoke of some ribs and polish.

12 jalapenos seeded filled with a cream cheese mixture(roasted garlic, cumin, green onions, crab, and monterey jack). Wrapped in uncooked bacon, smoked for 2 hours.


brilliant, thanks for the tips.

[chisoxjim]

thanks, they tasted great, a little kick, but very good. The roasted garlic in the cream cheese was a winner.

Next time I may throw the parts of the jalapeno I sliced off to seed the peppers in the food processor, and add that to the cream cheese mix.

Nice looking ABTs.

I'll never get used to seeing them smoked with their stems though. Looks too much like a rodent to me

 

[chisoxjim]

Hmm. Never thought of that, though that'll make for even more fun eating!

I could see doing another batch this weekend, this time I gotta remember to wear gloves when seeding the jalapenos.

I showed the pictures to someone and they called them "turd rangoons"

Very nice looking A.B.T.s.I wish mine were that nice.

 

[chisoxjim]

thanks,

this weekend I am going to use a little less cream cheese(no crab) stuffing, and add either a lil' smokey link under the bacon, or some chorizo.
