Jalapeno Stuffed Olives - A Spicy Treat
By Patricia Gorginas
Jalapeno stuffed olives are spicy and delicious as a savoury
snack or as an entree before the main meal. But these olives are
rather different than the ones you can put in your martini. For
one, they are spicy and unusual.
They are becoming popular. Jalapeno stuffed olives seem to be
creeping into the mainstream slowly but surely.
I had my first taste of this spicy treat at a summer barbeque
and I think that I may have to search for this product in my local
gourmet store or through the World Wide Web.
The summer barbeque party that I attended was held by a couple
who are really savvy about good food. They make award winning
chili from scratch and they each have a collection of recipes
dedicated to memory.
The jalapeno stuffed olives were one such recipe that I had to
request.
In no time at all the host rattled off the simple ingredients
to this hot delicacy. I was thrilled to discover that there were
just a handful of items I need to make this great appetizer for
my own affairs.
I just couldn’t wait to make my own jalapeno stuffed olives for
the first time. I knew that this would become a new tradition
in my home.
I knew wrong. There was no way that I was going to work this
recipe from scratch ever again. I don’t recommend anyone who is
a nail-biter to do so, either.
The process is a little tedious and it requires way too much
patience. The jalapeno stuffed olives are wonderful to taste but
they are awful to make.
Spicy Juices
The spicy juices from the peppers were too much for my dry, bitten
fingers to stand. Working with gloves was out of the question
because the ingredients require outstanding dexterity and fine
motor skills.
I found myself making an entirely different dish out of the
ingredients that I bought for the jalapeno stuffed olives.
Available in a jar
After this great disappointment I figured that people are bound
to bottle this spicy treat and sell it on the market. I was surprised
to discover that they have been selling jalapeno stuffed olives
for years now. The item isn’t found in most grocery stores,
though.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the hosts of the barbeque were
privy to that information as well. Their jalapeno stuffed olives
might have come from a jar and not from a dedicated afternoon
in the kitchen.
This notion does provide me some great comfort in an odd sort
of way. I really like the idea of gourmet cooks taking shortcuts.
So, the secret is out. You can buy Jalapeno stuffed olives in
a jar. I went to my local gourmet food store and got five jars.
I will never run out!

Did You Know?
What are the kitchen basics I need?
Kitchen basics that every kitchen should have are
pots and pans (in a variety of sizes), measuring cups, measuring spoons,
mixing bowls and an assortment of kitchen gadgets that make life easier.
One of these gadgets is a can opener. Being forced to saw off
the bottom of a can could take a little of the fervor away from
cooking. Also consider keeping whisks, spatulas and tongs as part
of your cooking basics.
Another item basic that is used often is a drainer/strainer.
These can come in the form of bowls or be part of a boiling pan
set. It is used to drain spaghetti water from the pasta or can
be used for anything similar.
