Some like it Hot. This dish is
smoking hot! If you wish it to
be that is. You can back away
from some of the components that
add the heat but then you can
strip the "Atomic" off the
title.
First things first. Prepare the
veggies and peppers. You will
need to chop 2 Jalapeno peppers,
green onion and some orange bell
pepper. Cut the smoked Gouda
slices into small pieces. Cut
the top off of two Habanero
peppers and clean out the seeds.
Wear gloves when doing this and
keep your fingers away from your
eyes and face. Trust me on
this...
It's time to stuff the hot and
spicy core of this fireball.
Squeeze jelly works great for
this. Squeeze raspberry jelly
into each Habanero pepper
filling it 1/2 way. Fill the
other 1/2 with Cream cheese.
Place the buffalo meat in a
medium bowl. Add in half f the
the chopped Jalapenos, 1/8 cup
of Yeshiva's, 1 Tbsp brown
sugar and 1/2 Tsp dry rub. Mix
the buffalo meat well and form
into a ball.
In a small bowl mix 2 tbsp
melted butter, 3 tbsp Frank's
Redhot sauce and a few shakes of
garlic powder. In a medium bowl
combine 1 lbs. ground turkey,
3/4 of the butter and Frank's
buffalo sauce and a few slices
of bell pepper that have been
coarsely chopped. Mix well. You
want the turkey meat to end up
real moist but firm. This will
need to wrap up around the
Buffalo Ball.
Now lay down some wax paper.
It's easier to work on and clean
up. Place 1/2 the buffalo meat
on to the wax paper and form a 4
inch round hick circle. Make an
indentation in the center. Pour
in 1 tsp of the Buffalo sauce.
Place a stuffed Habanero pepper
in the center keeping it upright
and surround it with chopped
smoked Gouda cheese. Now fold up
the buffalo meat around the
pepper and form a ball so all
the meat is completed
encapsulating the pepper and
cheese. Pour some BBQ sauce on
the ball and rub it around. I
like to use my own mix of 1 cup
diet Cherry Dr. Pepper, 1 cup
Sweet Baby Ray's and 1 tbsp
brown sugar heated then cooled.
Take 1/2 of the Turkey meat and
place it on the wax paper
forming about a 6 inch circle.
Make a indentation then add some
sliced green onion and chopped
Gouda cheese. Pour some
BBQ sauce on the turkey ball and
rub it around. As you can see we
are building many layers of
flavor making this smoking
recipe a unique treat.
Once the Buffalo ball is wrapped
inside the turkey ball it's time
to wrap the turkey ball up
inside the maple sausage. Place
1/2 the maple sausage on the wax
paper and form a 10 inch round
circle with and indent in the
center. Pour on a fair amount of
BBQ sauce and mop it around
leaving 1/2 inch bare around the
edges. Sprinkle on 1/2 tbsp of
brown sugar and rub it around on
top of the BBQ sauce. Now place
the turkey ball in the center of
the maple sausage and wrap the
maple sausage up around the
turkey ball just like you did
with the Turkey. Form a nice
round ball.
Sprinkle on some dry rub and rub
it into the meat. Sprinkle on
some brown sugar and work it
into the meat. This will give it
a nice outer flavor. Now it's
time to make the second Atomic
buffalo ball. Follow the same
steps above to do so. I had you
do one at a time because
wrapping these up sometimes can
be a bit tricky. This allows you
to figure things out on the
first one.
Once you have two nice round
Atomic Buffalo Balls formed and
on cookie sheets, move them out
to your smoker. Your smoker
should be pre-heated to 230
degrees. Place them on the
center of the smoking grate and
smoke them @ 230 degrees until
the internal temperature reaches
165 degrees.
When they are around 150 degrees
you can start mopping them with
BBQ sauce. put it on this and
make several layers. Once they
reach 165 degrees, smoking is
complete and you may pull them
from the smoker. Let them stand
for about 20 minutes. While they
stand, take about 4 tbsp BBQ
sauce and mix it with 2 drops of
Da Bomb Final Answer. This is a
pepper extract that is1.5
million Scoville units of
flaming inferno! It's really hot
and can be purchased online.
Some retailers consider this
liquid gold and sell it for over
$60 for a 2 oz. bottle. You can
get it for under $25 on allot of
sites including
Amazon.com.
Mix it well and use gloves when
handling the pepper extract.
Avoid eye contact at all cost!
If you don't like heat you will
want to skip this step. Mop the
balls well with the new HOT BBQ
sauce. Cut four orange bell
pepper slices and arrange 2 in a
"X" pattern on top of each
Atomic Buffalo Ball as a warning
label. :-)
Cut these like a pie in wedges
and serve. The bravest at the
table can eat the fiery core.
They are delicious! |
