Directions

First open the can of fire roasted tomatoes and drain out as much liquid as possible. Empty the can contents into the food processor.  Core the 3 vine roasted tomatoes then cut them into 4 slices from each tomato. Cut out the seedy center of each tomato slice leaving only the outer meat of the tomato. Cut this in half and add it to the food processor.


Next, peel and rough cut 1/4 of a red onion and add this to the food processor.


Peel 4 cloves of garlic, give the cloves a rough cut and add them to the food processor.


Pick roughly 1/4 cup of cilantro leaves and add this to the food processor.


Next, preheat your grill on a low setting. Peel the ear of corn removing all husk and silk.  Using olive oil in a paper towel, apply the olive oil to the outside surface of the jalapeños, poblanos, and corn. Place the corn and peppers on the grill for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the peppers and place them into plastic sandwich bags for steaming.  Turn the corn and allow it to cook for another 5 minutes.


After steaming the peppers for 5 minutes in plastic bags, remove the peppers and pull away the outer skin.  Pull apart the peppers removing all seeds and stems and place the meat of the peppers into the food processor.  Remove the corn from the grill and slice off the kernels. Place half of the kernels in the food processor.


 Turn on the food processor for about 2 minutes allowing the contents to grind.  Turn off the food processor and add the seasoning listed.  Run the food processor again for about 1 minute.  Add the remaining corn and stir up the mixture. Ideally you should let the salsa rest overnight in the refrigerator, but instant gratification is always allowed! Enjoy!

chicken-kabobs1

This is a great recipe that’s always a big hit at parties.  It takes a little bit of work to get this done, but the end result is pure bliss.

Ingredients

  • 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 can quartered artichoke hearts in water
  • 1/2 yellow onion
  • 1 pack cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon herbs de Provence
  • 1/2 bottle Lupo’s chicken marinade

Print This Recipe Print This Recipe

Directions

First, using kitchen scissors, cut each chicken thigh in half length wise. Next cut each strip into 3 bit size chunks.  Place the chicken strips in a Ziploc bag and add half a bottle of Lupo’s chicken marinade. Move the chicken around in the bag until all chunks of chicken are covered with marinade.  Place the bag of chicken in the refrigerator overnight or at least 8 hours.


Next open the can of artichoke hearts, and drain out all the liquid.  Empty the artichokes into a colander and allow them to drain for 20 minutes.  Next prepare a container with paper towels and place the artichokes on the paper towels evenly allowing all prices to rest and dry on the paper towel.  Cover the artichokes with a paper towel and press down gently to mop up additional liquid.  Place the artichokes in the refrigerator while waiting on the chicken to marinate.


After at least 8 hours of marination it is time to put the kabobs together.  Peel the skin off a 1/2 of a yellow onion.  Cut this onion into 4 even chunks.  Following this, break up the onion and place in a bowl. Add the cherry tomatoes and artichokes to the bowl.  Next add 1/4 cup of olive oil to the bowl followed by salt, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoons of herbs de Provence.  Gently stir around the contents of the bowl until the seasoning and oil is evenly distributed over each item in the bowl.


Next it’s time to assemble the kabobs. Start with a kabob skewer and place a piece of marinated chicken on the stick. Follow this with an artichoke, a onion and finally a tomato. Repeat this until all chicken and veggies are used up and on a skewer.


Preheat your grill at a medium low setting (300 – 400 degrees).  Place the kabobs on the grill and let them cook for roughly 5 to 7 minutes per side.  These should be flipped at least 3 times, but ultimately this is up to you.  Be careful when flipping the kabobs, try to gently rock the kabob back and forth to loosen the contents off the grill. Be sure not to rip or tear off any parts of the kabob.

Directions

First cut the steaks in half lengthwise. Next cut each strip into 1 inch chunks (bite size). Place the steak chunks into a Ziploc bag. Following this pour one shot of Jack Daniels into a standard sized shot glass.  Drink the shot, then pour another shot of Jack Daniels, and add this to the steak in the Ziploc bag.  Add 1/4 cup of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon of Everglades seasoning to the bag and seal it tightly.  Push around the steak in the bag so that all peices are coated with seasoning and liquid. Place the bag of steak in the refrigerator and allow it to marinate overnight or at least for 8 hours. Do not marinate more than 24 hours.


Next open the package of mushrooms and wash them down removing all dirt.  Trim the stems and cut each mushroom in half.  Place the mushrooms in a Ziploc bag and add 1/4 cup soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon of Everglades seasoning. Push around the mushrooms ensuring that all are coated with liquid and seasoning.  Place the mushrooms in the refrigerator to marinate overnight along with the steak.


After at least 8 hours of marination it is time to put the kabobs together.  Peel the skin off a 1/2 of a yellow onion.  Cut this onion into 4 even chunks.  Following this, break up the onion and place aside or in a bowl.


Start with a kabob skewer and place a piece of marinated steak on the stick. Follow this with a mushroom, a onion and finally a tomato. Repeat this until all steak and veggies are used up and on a skewer. Next mix up 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of Everglades seasoning and 1 teaspoon of herbs de Provence. Stir this mixture together and brush it on the onions and tomatoes using a grill brush.


Preheat your grill at a medium low setting (300 – 400 degrees).  Place the kabobs on the grill and let them cook for roughly 5 to 7 minutes per side.  These should be flipped at least 3 times, and this should give a medium to medium well range on the steak.  Be careful when flipping the kabobs, try to gently rock the kabob back and forth to loosen the contents off the grill. Be sure not to rip or tear off any parts of the kabob.

After allowing the wings to marinate for 24 hours, preheat the grill on low to medium heat.  After 5 – 10 minutes, place the wings on the grill. Let the wings cook for 7 minutes, then flip the wings. Repeat this 3 – 4 times depending on how done you like your wings. When done, pull the wings from the grill and place in the bowl of sauce. Roll the wings around and coat them until all wet.
