Spicy Egg Sandwich with Sausage and Pickled Peppers image

A sausage patty topped with feta, cilantro, sweet, piquant pickled peppers, and a sunny-side-up egg make for a hearty sandwich that's perfect for brunch, lunch, or dinner. You can find Peppadew peppers at olive bars at most large supermarkets, or check the condiment aisle, where they're sold jarred.

SPICY PICKLED PEPPERS

We pickle Fresno chiles (also called red jalapeño peppers) for the pasta dish Fiorentini with Guanciale, Tomato, and Spicy Pickled Peppers (page 203). It seemed silly to have you pickle just enough peppers for one dish, since they will keep, refrigerated, for at least several weeks and probably much longer. Slice the peppers and add them to grilled cheese or sliced meat sandwiches, or use them in place of the roasted peppers on the pizza with White Anchovy, Tomato, and Spicy Fresno Chiles (page 139) or the Spicy Salami, Mozzarella, and Fresno Chiles pizza (page 140). If you can wait, the peppers are even better a few days after you make them.

Yield makes 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon juniper berries
1 teaspoon whole cloves
2 teaspoons black peppercorns
2 dried bay leaves
3/4 pound Fresno chiles (red jalapeño peppers), rinsed, stems left on

Steps:

  • Combine the vinegar, honey, juniper berries, cloves, peppercorns, and bay leaves in a medium saucepan and bring the liquid to a simmer over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer the brine for 10 minutes to meld the flavors. Add the chiles and increase the heat to high to return the brine to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the chiles until they soften slightly but still hold their shape, 4 to 6 minutes. Turn off the heat and set the chiles aside to cool in the brine. Use the chiles, or transfer them, along with the brining liquid, to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to several weeks.

SPICY PORK CHOPS WITH PICKLED PEPPERS



Spicy Pork Chops with Pickled Peppers image

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 center-cut pork loin chops, each about 1 inch thick
salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups sliced pickled sweet peppers
1/4 cup sliced pickled hot peppers, such as peperoncini or jalapeno chiles, or more of the sweet peppers
2 tablespoons pickling juice or white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • 1 In a large heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Pat the chops dry with paper towels then sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Cook the chops until browned, about 2 minutes, then turn them over with tongs and brown on the other side, about 2 minutes more. 2 Reduce the heat to medium. Scatter the garlic slices around the chops. Cover the pan and cook 5 to 8 minutes or until the chops are tender and just slightly pink when cut near the bone. Regulate the heat so that the garlic does not become dark brown. Transfer the chops to a serving platter and cover to keep warm. 3 Add the sweet and hot peppers and pickling juice or vinegar to the skillet. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until the peppers are heated through and the juices are syrupy. 4 Stir in the parsley. Spoon the contents of the pan over the chops and serve immediately.
