INSTRUCTIONS
from: An Herb and Spice Cook Book, Craig Claiborne, 1963 1) Put the meat in a mixing bowl 2) Crush or grate garlic very finely, chop the chili peppers. 3) Add garlic and peppers to the meat along with salt and pepper. Mix well with hands, being sure that the chili and garlic are well distributed. 4) Shape into six or eight patties. Grill or broil to desired degree of doneness, top each with a pat of butter and serve hot with toasted buns. NOTE: This mixture is also very good made into cocktail-size balls. If using fresh green chili peppers, be sure to roast them remove the skins and remove the seeds. This Claiborne book is very old, but one of my favorite and most useful books--it is organized by herb and spice, with a few recipes in each category. If you are able to find one, it is a terrific addition to a cookbook collection. Posted to Recipe Archive - 08 Sep 96 From: Pat Magyar, Chapel Hill, NC, USA
