  1. I grow superhot peppers and my Trinidad Moruga scorpions finally ripened. I took a 2.5 lb chuck roast from a local butcher and gave it a coffee garlic rub. I smoked it over mesquite and Kingsford blue bag on an OK Joe Longhorn Combo for several hours. During that time, I also smoked half of a scorpion pepper – seen on the tongs here:

    I took a Dutch oven and sweated out some sweet onions, garlic and bell peppers for a while on the stove. I added beef stock and San Marzano tomatoes. I added a splash of lager. I crushed up tortilla chips and added them in as a makeshift masa harina. I pulled the chuck roast off the smoker and diced it up to go in the Dutch oven. I pulverized the scorpion pepper and added it in. Lastly, some spices.

    This all went in the oven for about 3 hours to reduce. Then it was served with goat cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream, and corn chips. The scorpion is noticeable on the backend as a lingering heat.

    I think a horseradish and chive cream would top this off well.
