“Smoke and Spice” — Captain Crispy’s Debut Groove
When the grill starts to sizzle and the air smells like heaven, that’s when Captain Crispy takes the stage. His first single, Smoke and Spice, is a blues-kissed barbecue ballad — a love song for bacon, smoke, and everything nice.
This tune was born from a backyard dream: stuffed mushrooms wrapped in bacon, spiked with jalapeños and cream cheese, slow-smoked until they melt in your mouth and make your toes curl. It’s a song that tastes as good as it sounds — smoky, sweet, and a little dangerous.
Somewhere between the crackle of the coals and the swing of that fiddle from the Fire Pit, Captain Crispy finds his rhythm. He’s the King of Smoke, the Bard of Bacon, and the patron saint of pitmasters everywhere.
So grab your tongs, pour yourself something cold, and turn it up loud.“Smoke and Spice” — where the bacon sizzles, the blues burn slow, and the night smells like love. tretaylor.com
PREPARATION:
If you have them, slip on some latex gloves for the pepper prep… Cut jalapenos and Habaneros in half, length-wise. With a spoon, remove the seeds and white membrane (blend and freeze the seeds and membranes for future marinade recipes).
Smear softened cream cheese into each pepper half. Wrap them with bacon pieces (1/3 slice). Secure by sticking toothpick through the middle. (At this point, you can freeze them, uncooked, in a Ziploc bag for later use).
Fire up the grill. Jalapeño's on one side and Habanero's on the other. Turn them until the bacon is nice and done. They are ready to serve! DANGEROUSLY GOOD!
