Our local Farmer’s Market has been producing some AMAZING jalapeño peppers in the past few weeks. Kevin LOVES spicy foods, so I thought I’d make him some stuffed peppers. Well, search and search, all of the recipes we found had bacon. Well. We forgot the bacon, so I made my own recipe. This was my inspiration.
What you need:
- 12 jalapeño peppers
- 1 package cream cheese
- 3-5 basil leaves
- 1 clove garlic– minced (I cheated and used a teaspoon of minced in a jar garlic due to time constraints)
- A HOT grill! I use charcoal (in spite of my green-ness). Remove the rack though and don’t put it on the grill until you are ready to use it!
1. Slice the peppers in half. While you are doing that, if your cream cheese is hard (fresh from the fridge) soften it by putting it in the microwave for a bit.
2. Gut the peppers.
3. Chop the basil leaves. Stir the basil, garlic, and creme cheese until well-mixed and smooth.
4. Stuff the peppers full of creme cheese mix!
5. Spray the rack of your grill with cooking spray.
6. Place peppers directly on the grill.
6. Cover and cook until peppers are tender.
7. Remove peppers and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
I was rushing, so I didn’t get as many pictures as I would have liked. Sorry about that.
