Hand cut organic and non-GMO potatoes
Jalapeno peppers stuffed with herb infused goats cheese
I am lucky enough to have access to an organic, non-GMO farm that I am a CSA (community shared agriculture) member of in which I pick up a weekly share of 8-10lbs of fresh veggies at my local farmers market. Since it is football season and we LOVE college football, we entertain quite often and host football parties on most Saturdays. To keep the party foods to my standards and pleasing to our guests, I have come up with a delicious way to use our veggies and copy some of the traditional appetizers.
At COSTCO, they sell a large container of coconut oil for $16.99. I buy 2 of these and we fill our outdoor commercial grade deep fryer with this MCT oil which is actually good for you! After heating the fryer to temperature, my husband does all the frying. I am the one who cuts all the veggies and gets them ready to be cooked.
Some things we fry:
okra, all I do is simply cut each piece into bite sizes and we fry them till crispy, that's without anything coating them!
Yellow squash, again, all I do is slice each one into rounds and fry them until crispy! No breading!
White potatoes and sweet potatoes, I do not peel them, I simply slice them up into "Fries" and cook until desired doneness.
For the jalapeno poppers:
cut each pepper in half and remove seeds
using herb infused goats cheese and shredded grass fed cheddar (kerrygold, I shred myself) mixed
stuff into each pepper half and bake in a 375 degree oven until the pepper is soft and the cheese has begun to lightly brown. (I cooked mine for 15 min)
ENJOY!!!
