What to do with a can of pickled jalapenos?

[nuttie_cat]

I have a can of pickled jalapenos sitting in my kitchen for more than a year now! How can I best use it up fast?

Any vegetarian suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

nuttie cat, with all these ideas, now you'll have to go buy some more. ;-)

dry them out in the oven, chop & add to your favorite pizza dough. Drying them out won't add any extra moisture to the dough.

What I do with them most of the time is I put it in my pasta. Some pasta,marinara, sausage, onions, mozzarella cheese & the jalapenos is my favorite meal

In addition to some of the excellent suggestions made, I use pickled jalapenos to make a quick salsa, either green or red in a blender.

Red:
Briefly boil tomatoes, onion and garlic, let them cool
Put in blender with some cilantro and a few pickled jalapenos to taste
Add salt
Pulse to make a chunky salsa, puree for a smoother one

Green:
Char an onion and husked tomatillos on a grill or hot pan
Put in blender with a few chiles, cilantro, a squeeze of lemon and some salt to taste
Puree
(I use canned tomatillos when Im in a pinch)

Jalapeno corn bread, a la Hotel Boulderado

There is a thread that Jfood started which has a quinoa recipe-- it's called jfood's first time w/ quinoa or something like that. The recipe he links to in that thread calls for some picked jalapenos. (I know, b/c I started assembling this salad last night, and just 14+ hours ago, I was wondering where the heck one gets pickled jalapenos!) I haven't tried it yet, but it's called black bean quinoa salad and it sounds really good! (just do a search on this board. It's only a few days old.)

There's a recipe in Vegetable Harvest for a bread with pickled jalapenos - I bought a jar but never made the bread!

Add to guacamole.

If they're whole you could make a 'T" shaped cut in the side, seed, and stuff them with goat cheese.

if whole, stuff with monterey jack blended with cheddar, batter and deep fry: poppers!

I'd put them on hot dogs as a first choice.

Either that, or I'd dice them up and mix into chicken salad.

I have to resist the urge to buy/eat too many of these as they bring back terrible flashbacks of my younger days of eating at Subway ...

And I forgot! Your post reminded me. At times I'll make a really tasty tuna salad with them.

I use the pickled jalapenos as a condiment, always have them in the fridge. I will dump the can in a small jar with a twist lid, and then we add them to sandwiches, tacos & burritos, and quesadillas. Just about anything that you want add a little pickled punch too. A year? That's unheard of around here!

[kimeats]

I eat them right out of the jar. Or add them to quesadillas with cheese. Top nachos with cheese and pickled jalapeno rings.

Second that, and they're good on pannini with red onion, roasted peppers, olives, sharp cheese, etc.

Open mouth. Insert pepper. Chew. Repeat.

God, I'm a sucker for those puckery bites from Heaven.
