Dessert 'Turds.......

[1buckie]

Here's a fun one...
1) Habanero peppers, I try to get the largest ones I can find
2) Bacon, I use a medium thin so it cooks thru without taking forever
3) Cream Cheese, spiced or unspiced, your choice; I use it straight for these, as there's enough spice going on already, plus you can taste the blueberries better
4) Blueberries

Cut top & split in half, scrape seeds & membrane on peppers

Dollop of Cr Cheese

Add berries

Wrap fairly tight, usually 1/3 ~ 1/2 strip of bacon

Smoke From 190° ~ 235° 'till desired doneness for bacon





I much prefer these ( as all 'turds) smoked, but you could indirect grill or even at a bit higher heat,
shorter time, in the oven





They ride in the little bus, to keep separate is a good idea, I've found, so folks don't get caught unaware !!!

So what is in the big bus?

[1buckie]

Standard issue jalepeno 'turds....
I do'em w/ tandoori powder mixed into the cr. cheese



The orange color stickin' out of the end.....

Whats on one end of the grill in that next to last shot?

Whats on one end of the grill in that next to last shot?

They're flank steak roll-ups ~~>
Flank, or actually I've been using thin sliced top round the last few years, soaked in Woosty & other fun liquids/powders,
Then onion, strips of sweet bells, maybe zucchini, asparagus, portobella strips, etc.
Roll 'em...



Soak some more...



Toast indirect or smoke.....



Slice between toothpicks for automatic appetizers.....

Tandoori powder huh? Never heard of it. What does it taste like? I'm gonna have to try some of that. I usually add Bad Byron's butt rub to my ABT's. I'm gonna see if I can find some of that tandoori in my local stores.
I don't know if I could use the habanero peppers. I like hot, but not that hot.

If there's an Indian market, they're almost sure to have it, or some kind of specialty grocer that caters to scratch cooking / baking... maybe even the regular old store depending on the ethnics of the area
Yeah, tandoori mix to me, it takes somethimg already dangerously addictive ('turds )
& punches it thru the roof ( absolute BBQ crack )
I've eaten 35 & 40 small ones done with this in an afternoon on numerous occasions.......

It's a bit variable as to the mixes you'll find, but a basic 1 to 1 to 1 Indian spice mix like this :
( Stolen from somebody here:
http://indian.food.com/recipe/tandoori-masala-spice-mix-333539
Who stole it from somebody else...)


1 teaspoon garlic powder (Lasun)
1 teaspoon ground ginger (Adrak)
1 teaspoon ground cloves (Lavang)
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg (Jaiphal)
1 teaspoon mace (Javitri)
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin (Jeera)
2 tablespoons ground coriander (Dhania)
1 teaspoon ground fenugreek (Methi)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (Tuj or Dalchini)
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (Kalimirchi)
1 teaspoon ground brown cardamom (Elaichi)
1 teaspoon red food coloring* 
Directions:
1Mix all the above ingredients (without roasting them first) and push through a fine sieve.
2Store in an airtight container and close the lid tightly after use.

* I'll add that the red food coloring most times would just be sweet paprika

~~> Here's another, much simpler version:
( from here: 
http://www.food.com/recipe/tandoori-spice-mix-225675  )

1 tablespoon minced ginger (frsh)
1 1/2 teaspoons coriander
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Directions:
Combine.
** I'll add that any mix will benefit from using feenugreek, that's what makes it turn the corner....

I just use a pre-mix made by Sharwood's, but I think they discontinued that particular mix awhile ago....

Other brand names to look for are "Rajah" & "Sun"
It will be next to the curry powder in the grocery...........

Maybe a Tablespoon or a bit more per block of cream cheese, softened

PS ~~~~~~>
Looked back up just as I posted & saw the habanerno statement....

You can always soak them, or if you get a ripper batch of jalepenos, in Sprite ( soda pop ) for a few hours to overnite & it will take a bunch of the heat out, like 75% or more of the heat factor, pat dry w/ paper towel & go ~~~>

  Oh, by the way......

I  forgot to mention in the original post, that those habanero dessert 'turds are REALLY hot !!!
