DEEP-FRIED STUFFED JALAPENOS

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.

1 (12 ounce) can pickled jalapeno peppers
1 1/2 cups peanut butter (smooth or chunky)

Tips:

  • Choose the right jalapeños: Look for firm, dark green jalapeños that are about 2-3 inches long. Avoid any jalapeños that have blemishes or bruises.
  • Wear gloves when handling jalapeños: The capsaicin in jalapeños can irritate your skin, so it's important to wear gloves when you're handling them. If you do get capsaicin on your skin, wash it off immediately with soap and water.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños: This will help to reduce the heat of the jalapeños. To do this, cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and ribs.
  • Use a food processor to make the filling: This will make it quick and easy to combine all of the ingredients. If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the ingredients by hand.
  • Stuff the jalapeños with the filling: Use a spoon or your fingers to stuff the jalapeños with the filling. Make sure to pack the filling in tightly.
  • Bake the jalapeños: Bake the jalapeños in a preheated oven until they are tender and the filling is hot. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Serve the jalapeños with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular dipping sauces for jalapeños include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, and sour cream.

Conclusion:

Thai Peanut Stuffed Jalapeños are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. They are made with a creamy peanut filling that is stuffed into jalapeños and then baked until tender. The jalapeños are then served with a dipping sauce of your choice. These stuffed jalapeños are sure to be a hit with your guests!
