FETA STUFFED JALAPENOS
I saw these beautiful red Jalapenos and couldn't resist them but not sure what to do with them - I found a recipe on the internet by "Claire". Tweaked it a bit. Depending on the size of your peppers you may need a bit more oil & vinegar (keep it in proportion)they must be covered with the oil/vingar while marinating. Simple and Oh so tasty Prep time does not inclued the minimum 4 hours marinating

Tips:
- Choose the Right Jalapeños: Select firm, evenly-shaped jalapeños with smooth skin and vibrant green color. Avoid any with bruises or blemishes.
- Handle Jalapeños with Care: Wear gloves when handling jalapeños to protect your hands from the capsaicin oils. Avoid touching your eyes or face during and after handling.
- Deseed Jalapeños Safely: To remove the seeds, cut the jalapeños lengthwise and use a spoon or melon baller to scoop out the seeds and ribs. Be careful not to touch the seeds with your bare hands.
- Stuffing Options: Feel free to experiment with different fillings. Try a mixture of cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and bacon bits, or a combination of crumbled feta cheese, diced tomatoes, and fresh herbs.
- Baking or Air Frying: Both methods yield delicious results. If baking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the jalapeños for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. If air frying, preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook the jalapeños for 8-10 minutes, or until crispy.
