LAMB BURGERS WITH FENNEL AND HOT PEPPER MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Trim, core and quarter the fennel. Roughly chop 1/4 cup fronds. Thinly slice the fennel (use a mandoline if you have one) and combine with the red onion, fennel fronds, lemon juice and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium bowl. Toss and season with salt.
• Combine the mayonnaise and cherry peppers in a mini food processor and puree until smooth. (Alternatively, finely mince the cherry peppers and stir into the mayonnaise.) Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Form the lamb into 4 thin patties, about 4 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over high heat until very hot and add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the burgers and cook until well browned, about 2 minutes per side for medium.
• Add the arugula to the fennel salad and toss to combine. Serve the burgers on the buns; top with the mayonnaise mixture and fennel salad. Serve with potato chips.

POPPIN' PORK CHOP SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the pork chops: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• In a baking dish, mix together the flour, seasoned salt, pepper and cayenne. Dredge both sides of the pork chops in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, and set aside on a plate.
• Add the vegetable oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet and heat until the butter is melted. Working in 2 batches, sear the pork chops on both sides until golden brown and cooked through, 2 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
• In a separate pan and working in batches, add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and toast the cut side of the buns until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Re-assemble the buns and set aside.
• For the cherry pepper mayonnaise: Mix together the mayonnaise, diced peppers, lemon juice and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl until well combined.
• For the sandwiches: Smear the cherry pepper mayonnaise onto each bottom bun, top with a pork chop, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, more mayonnaise spread and the top bun.
• Serve hot or wrap in sandwich wrap/foil for transport.
• To a small saucepan, add the rice wine vinegar, honey, crushed red pepper flakes, mustard seeds, dill and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
• Toss together the cucumber and red onion slices and transfer them to a wide-mouth quart-size mason jar. Carefully pour over the warm vinegar mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours and up to 7 days.

Steps:

• Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste, on both sides.
• Place the flour in a shallow bowl, and the beaten eggs in another shallow bowl.
• Heat a very large nonstick pan over medium heat. When hot 1 teaspoon oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan.

• Add 1 teaspoon oil to the skillet and add the garlic and cook 30 seconds, until fragrant.
• Add the hot cherry peppers and white wine. Cook down to reduce by half, then add the chicken broth, bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for about 2 to 3 minutes so it reduces slightly and thickens.

HOT RED-PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• Combine peppers, onion, and 2 teaspoons salt in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Transfer mixture to a sieve set over a bowl and let stand 30 minutes. Run under cold water for a few seconds to remove excess salt, then thoroughly drain.
• In a small saucepan, bring vinegar and sugar to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in pepper mixture. Let cool completely. Transfer to resealable jars with lids. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 days and up to 1 month, or follow our canning instructions and store at room temperature up to 1 year.

BROCCOLINI AND PROVOLONE GRINDERS WITH HOT PEPPER MAYO

Steps:

• Light a grill or preheat a grill pan to high.
• Drizzle the broccolini with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Working in batches if necessary, grill over medium-high heat, turning once or twice, until lightly charred and crisp tender, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the vegetable oil, pepper brine, mustard and egg in an immersion blender jar or sturdy 1-pint jar. Puree the mixture with an immersion blender until thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in the minced hot peppers and season the mayo with salt and pepper.
• Using tongs, mound the broccolini in 4 piles on the grill or grill pan. Arrange 2 slices of cheese on each mound and cook until the cheese starts to melt, 1 to 2 minutes. If using an outdoor grill, move the mounds over indirect heat to keep warm while you toast the hoagie rolls. If using a grill pan, transfer the mounds to a baking sheet and tent with foil to keep warm and continue to melt the cheese.
• Drizzle the cut sides of the hoagie rolls with olive oil and grill until lightly browned and crusty, about 2 minutes. Spread some of the hot pepper mayo on the rolls and then fill them with the broccolini and remaining provolone. Top the grinders with onions if using and serve immediately, passing more hot pepper mayo at the table.
