Receta Stuffed Jalapenos
Stuffed Jalapenos
By Eliot, on October 2nd, 2010
What a surprise when I went to the garden this morning. I found some HUGE jalapenos.
Since we had already decided we would meet after yard work today for margaritas on the patio, I knew I had to make some stuffed peppers (the first of the season.)
Stuffed Jalapenos
- 3 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 c. finely grated Colby/Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 c. garlic chili sauce or picante sauce or salsa (I used homemade sauce that my mom just canned.)
- 12 jalapeno peppers
Wash jalapenos and split them down the middle. Using a paring knife (or a fingernail!), carefully remove seeds and white ribs. Blanch the peppers for 1 minute in boiling water and then immediately place in a ice-water bath. Set aside to dry on a paper towel. )
Mix cream cheese, grated cheese, and sauce. Place in a heavy duty freezer bag with a corner snipped off. Fill each pepper with the cheese mixture. Chill before serving.
I also use this mixture to stuff whole jalapenos and then we grill them. Those are pretty tasty AND are a good pairing for margaritas as well!
This recipe made a lot more, but we ate quite a few!
