JALAPENO PEPPER POPPERS

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 poppers

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 large jalapeno peppers
4 Cheddar cheese sticks
24 pieces center-cut bacon
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons honey
Special equipment: 12 toothpicks, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium heat.
  • Cut about 1/2-inch off the top each jalapeno pepper. Take the top pieces that you just cut off, cut the sides off and reserve, discarding the middle stem pieces. These will be used to plug the open end of each pepper to help keep the cheese from melting out. Using a straight peeler, scrape out the seeds and ribs from the inside of each of the peppers.
  • Slice each cheese stick into pieces that are just slightly shorter than the jalapenos. Stuff a pepper with a piece of cheese. Take the reserved side pieces and place them into the open end of the pepper, covering the cheese and plugging the hole. Take a piece of bacon and wrap the pepper from the bottom end to the top end, making sure to secure the "plug" at the top end. Take a second piece of bacon and lay it down on a clean work surface. Roll up the pepper so that it is almost completely covered in bacon and secure with a toothpick. Repeat with the remaining peppers, cheese, bacon and toothpicks. Sprinkle each with chili powder.
  • Place on the grill, cover and cook over indirect heat until the bacon is crispy, 15 to 20 minutes, making sure to turn every 3 to 4 minutes.
  • While the poppers are grilling, combine the sour cream, cream cheese and honey in a small bowl. Mix until well blended and serve with the poppers.
  • Cook's Note: The poppers can also be made in the oven. Place the poppers onto a baking sheet fitted with a rack that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake in a 400 F degree oven until the bacon is brown and crispy, 15 minutes.

JALAPENO POPPERS

Pack extra flavour into these irresistible chillies with plenty of cream cheese and mozzarella. Ideal party food

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Side dish, Snack, Treat

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 jalapeno chillies (we used jalapeno but other mild green chillies would work)
150g full-fat cream cheese
50g grated mozzarella
30g plain flour
2 large eggs , lightly beaten
100g fresh breadcrumbs
oil for deep frying
To serve lime wedges (optional)

Steps:

  • Take one whole chilli and using a small sharp knife make an incision along the length without cutting all the way through. Open up the cavity and using the end of a teaspoon scrape out and discard the seeds and the membrane. It's very good idea to wear gloves when you're preparing chillies in this way, and make sure you wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. Repeat with all the other chillies.
  • Mix the cream cheese with the mozzarella, season with salt and pepper then use it to fill the chillies. Push them gently to close them up and wipe off any excess.
  • Put the flour, egg and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls or dishes and roll the stuffed chillies first in the flour then egg then breadcrumbs then repeat so they get a good double coating.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan until it reaches 160C. Carefully lower the chillies into the oil using a slotted spoon and deep fry in batches for around 2-3 mins or until deep golden brown. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper to soak up the excess oil.
  • Once the chillies are fried season them with pepper and salt and spread out on a plate or board so everyone can help themselves. Great with beer and a movie.

Tips:

  • Choose the right jalapeños: Look for firm, plump peppers with smooth skin and a deep green color. Avoid peppers with blemishes or bruises.
  • Wear gloves when handling jalapeños: The oils from the peppers can cause irritation to your skin. If you don't have gloves, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after handling the peppers.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños: This will help to reduce the heat of the peppers. You can use a spoon or a knife to remove the seeds and ribs.
  • Stuff the jalapeños with your favorite filling: There are many different fillings to choose from, such as cheese, meat, seafood, or vegetables. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
  • Bread the jalapeños: This will help to keep the filling inside the peppers and give them a crispy coating. You can use a variety of breading ingredients, such as flour, breadcrumbs, or cornmeal.
  • Fry or bake the jalapeños: You can fry the jalapeños in hot oil or bake them in the oven. If you are frying the jalapeños, be sure to use a deep fryer or a large saucepan with plenty of oil. If you are baking the jalapeños, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Jalapeño poppers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover jalapeños. With a little creativity, you can create your own unique jalapeño poppers that are sure to impress your friends and family. So get in the kitchen and start cooking!
