Pulled Pork Skillet With Cheesy Jalapeno Cornbread Recipes

Steps:

• Combine 1 1/4 cups flour, 1 1/2 cups cornmeal, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Whisk 2 1/4 cups buttermilk, 2 eggs, 1/2 stick melted butter and 1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapenos; stir into the flour mixture. Pour into a buttered, cornmeal-dusted 9-inch cast-iron skillet; top with sliced fresh jalapenos. Bake at 450 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Stir together.
• Measure the buttermilk and milk in a measuring cup and add the egg. Stir together with a fork. Add the baking soda and stir. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a fork until combined. Fold in the cheese. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, melt the shortening in the microwave. Slowly add the melted shortening to the batter, stirring until just combined.
• In an iron skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Saute the peppers and onions until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour the batter into the hot skillet with the veggies. Spread to even out the surface. (Batter should sizzle.)
• Cook for 1 minute, and then transfer to the oven and bake until golden brown, for 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl.
• In a 12-inch skillet over high heat, combine the butter with 2 tablespoons of the oil. As soon as the butter melts, add the onions, all the chile peppers, and 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons of the seasoning mix. Stir well, then cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature. The mixture should be a golden tan color, the onions a medium tan brown, and the peppers dark red and dark green. The vegetables retain a slight crunch.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• While the vegetables are cooling, make the cornbread batter. Combine the corn flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, and the remaining seasoning mix in a large bowl. Add the egg, milk, melted butter, 1/2 cup each of the grated Cheddar and Monterey Jack, and the vegetable mixture. Mix until just combined.
• Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons oil into a 12-inch cast-iron skillet. Make sure that the oil covers the entire bottom of the skillet; lift and roll the skillet if necessary. Heat the oil just until it begins to smoke, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the batter to the skillet, the mixture will begin to sizzle right away. Remove the skillet immediately and sprinkle the top of the batter evenly with the remaining 1/2 cup each Cheddar and Monterey Jack.
• Bake until a knife inserted into the middle of the cornbread comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
