Saw this on tv, tastes really yummy. This is grilled not deep fried. But resverse the breading and saute in oil for a more traditional coating Serve with a dipping suace if desired too! Ingredients:
roasted chili peppers, 6 large or 12 small, may be jalepeno, any mild variety etc. |
filling |
1 pkg of any soft spreadable cheese , spreadable cheddar, even goat cheese or any other stuffable kind |
batter |
4 large eggs separated |
1 tsp yellow food color ( optional ) |
flour to dredge |
Directions:
1. Roast chili peppers by your favorite method ( I often grill them )
2. Remove skins from roasted peppers.
3. Cut in half, but dont cut all way through other side, carefully scrape off seeds any large ribs
4. Fill and enclose peppers with some of the cheese , a heaping tsp or so as needed
5. Beat whites stiff and then beat in egg yolks with food color all at once.
6. Dredge filled peppers in the flour , and then in the egg mixture.
7. Cook on a hot oiled griddle or pan as one would do for pancakes, turning over when one side is browned.
8. Serve immediately
9. Note: peppers don't have to be jalepeno , any kind or mild etc as you like
10. Also one can reverse the breading process, place in egg first and then flour.
11. If you prefer this way, make sure the pan has some oil to saute them- they won't be grilled then!
12. Either way, they make a great appetizer and serve with some kind of dip or sauce if you wish- totally optional !
