VERTICAL STUFFED JALAPENOS

Healthy alternative to the breaded/deep fried "poppers" Jalapenos, Cheese, Bacon. - Yum

Provided by DestroyerOfworlds

Categories     Pork

Time 20m

Yield 12 pieces, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 jalapenos (straighter are easier to work with)
3 ounces cheddar cheese (block or shredded)
6 bacon pieces
12 toothpicks

Steps:

  • I'm using this great grill rack I bought from Sur La Table. It basically just a stand for the peppers so you dont have to slice them in half longways and lets you make a whole stuffed pepper. It also comes with a really interesting tool to gut the jalapenos.
  • pre-heat oven to 400.
  • Cut stems off all Jalapenos and gut them of seeds.
  • Cut Cheddar Cheese into 12 "sticks" that you can shove into the jalapenos.
  • Cut 6 Bacon strips in half.
  • Stuff cheese stick into jalapeno.
  • Wrap pepper with bacon and "pin" it pepper using tooth picks.
  • Place peppers on grill rack and bake for 15 minutes.

DEEP-FRIED STUFFED JALAPENOS



Deep-Fried Stuffed Jalapenos image

Provided by Food Network

Number Of Ingredients 10

24 large pickled jalapenos chiles
1/4 refried beans
1/4 cup chunky peanut butter
4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, cut into 8 (1/4 by 1-inch strips)
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
Corn oil, for deep-frying
8 ounces sour cream, whisked until smooth and shiny, for dipping

Steps:

  • Cut a short slit in the side of each jalapeno. Carefully scrape out as many seeds as possible, but avoid tearing or enlarging the slit. Stuff each of 8 jalapenos with about 1 teaspoon of refried beans. Stuff 8 more jalapenos with about 1 teaspoon peanut butter each. (The capacity of individual chiles will vary, but they should not be so full that the slits gape open.) Insert 1 strip of cheese into each of the 8 remaining chiles. On a plate, mix together the cornmeal, flour, and salt. In a small bowl, thoroughly whisk the eggs. One at a time, dip the jalapenos into the beaten egg and then roll them in the cornmeal mixture until well coated. Let the jalapenos stand on a rack for 30 minutes to firm the coating. In a deep fryer or in a wide, deep pan fitted with a deep-fry thermometer, heat about 4 inches of corn oil (the fryer or pan should be no more than half full) to 375 degrees. Working in batches and using a slotted spoon, lower the jalapenos into the hot oil. Fry, turning the chiles gently, until they are just crisp and golden, about 4 minutes. (Overcooking the chiles may cause the fillings to boil away.) With the slotted spoon, transfer the fried jalapenos to absorbent paper. Keep the chiles warm in a 250 degree oven until all have been fried. Serve them hot or warm, accompanied by sour cream for dipping.

JALAPENO POPPERS THREE WAYS



Jalapeno Poppers Three Ways image

Provided by George Duran

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h10m

Yield 24 poppers

Number Of Ingredients 12

24 jalapeno peppers
3 large eggs
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup grated jack cheese
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 tortilla chips, crushed
1 cup pizza sauce
1 Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup grated mozzarella
1 cup chunky peanut butter
1/4 cup of your favorite jelly

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cut the tops off the jalapeno peppers and clean out the core and seeds. Place them upright in an armadillo jalapeno cooker (available online). Alternatively, cut holes to fit the jalapenos in the bottom of a disposable aluminum baking pan and invert it onto a baking sheet.
  • For the huevo ranchero filling:
  • Beat the eggs and stir in the salsa, half the jack cheese, and salt and pepper, to taste. Fill 8 of the peppers 3/4 full and top with the remaining jack cheese and crushed chips.
  • For the sausage pizza filling:
  • Mix together the pizza sauce, crumbled sausage, and half the mozzarella. Fill 8 of the jalapenos and top with the remaining mozzarella.
  • For the peanut butter filling:
  • Put the peanut butter into a plastic bag and cut off a corner to make a pastry bag. Squeeze the peanut butter into the remaining peppers making sure that they are filled all the way down. Top with a spoonful of jelly.
  • Bake the poppers for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the peppers are soft.

Tips:

  • Choose the right jalapeños: Look for firm, deep green jalapeños with smooth skin. Avoid any jalapeños with blemishes or bruises.
  • Wear gloves when handling jalapeños: The capsaicin in jalapeños can irritate your skin. To protect your hands, wear gloves when preparing the jalapeños.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños: This will help to reduce the heat of the jalapeños.
  • Stuff the jalapeños with your favorite fillings: There are endless possibilities for fillings, such as cheese, meat, seafood, and vegetables.
  • Bake the jalapeños until they are tender: The baking time will vary depending on the size of the jalapeños and the filling.
  • Serve the jalapeños immediately: Stuffed jalapeños are best served fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Stuffed jalapeños are a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a little creativity, you can create your own unique stuffed jalapeño recipe that will be sure to impress your friends and family.
