How about this one. Smoked yeast, where can we buy it.

What is it? How is it used?

Have heard it is used in some Uncle Ben's products. Have seen it's use in others. Still can't find a supplier.

I am looking a list of all the HOT peppers available.

smoked yeast = bacon yeast = hickory-smoked yeast : This is yeast that's been smoked, giving it a bacon-like flavor. It's used to flavor other dishes. Don't confuse it with active forms of yeast, like the kinds bakers, brewers, and winemakers use.

Split Pea Paté
Ingredients:
2 cups split peas, dried
4 cups water
1 4-inch strip kombu
1 med carrot; halved lengthwise
6 garlic cloves
1/4 sm onion
1 bay leaf
2 parsley sprigs
3 tbs arrowroot
4 tbs water
2 tbs smoked yeast
1 tsp sea salt
2 pinch ground nutmeg

Instructions:
Wash the split peas, sort out any tiny rocks or odd peas, and put the peas in a medium saucepan with the water. Add the kombu, carrot, garlic, onion, bay leaf, and parsley. Cover the pan tightly and simmer until the peas are very soft (about 35 to 40 minutes). the mixture should be cooked until there is very little, if any, liquid left.

Remove the bay leaf and parsley. Pour the mixture into the blender (in two batches), and blend until smooth.

Return to the pan.

In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot, water, yeast, salt and nutmeg. Add these seasonings to the pea mixture. Stir until well blended. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly. When the pate detaches itself from the sides of the pan remove from the heat. If the pate seems too liquid, just add another tablespoon of arrowroot, dissolved in a tablespoon of water, to make the mixture firmer. turn the pate mixture out into a lightly oiled serving dish and refrigerate. If the mixture becomes firm enough, you can unmold it onto a plate and garnish with more parsley sprigs.

Variation:
In place of the split peas, use 2 cups of lentils. Increase the amount of water to about 5 cups. Insert 4 cloves into the carrot halves. Along with the kombu, carrots, garlic, onion, bay leaf, and parsley, add the leafy tops from 4 stalks of celery. Cook these ingredients with the lentils and water for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the cloves from the carrots. Then puree the mixture as in the recipe above.
