directions

  • Remove the stem from each pepper. Slice the peppers in half lengthwise on one side, cutting almost to the tip; leave the peppers joined at both ends. With the tip of a vegetable peeler, remove the seeds; set aside.
  • Place the pork in a small bowl and add the brandy. Stir in the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the meat mixture is soft. Mix well.
  • Add the scallions, gingerroot, thyme, soy sauce and sesame oil; mix until thoroughly combined. Open each pepper carefully and stuff it with some of the meat mixture, pressing it in firmly and keeping the pepper whole.
  • Coat a large nonstick skillet with the corn oil and heat. Without crowding the pan, add the stuffed peppers to the skillet. (Depending on the size of your skillet and the number of peppers, you may have to fry them in batches).
  • Cover the peppers and cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Turn and continue cooking until the peppers are tender and the meat is thoroughly cooked, about 15 minutes. Serve at room temperature.

  1. An unusual take-off on the traditional poppers. Loved the flavors with the pork. I had a hard time stuffing them--tried the first four and decided that I would just cut the peppers in half and stuff the tops. I also baked them at 325F for about 30 minutes since we didn't want to saute them. They came out wonderful! I would for sure make these again as they are so unique! Made for ZWT5
     
  2. I enjoyed these for lunch with a little bit of cream cheese on the side to cut the heat since I had some hot jalapenos. These were a nice change from ordinary jalapeno poppers!
     
  3. These peppers were very unusual and very good! Here in TX we are used to jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese, breaded, and deep-fried, so these were an excellent change of pace. We enjoyed these!
     
  4. These are terrific little boats of Jalapeno's and wonderful filling. The only change I made was not using brandy~and added a bit more water. I especially loved the ginger/scallion/thyme combination, although I might add a bit more scallion next time, (just love scallions) and perhaps a bit of fresh minced garlic. These turned out beautifully, and I am so glad I tried them. Our Jalapeno's did not have a lot of heat, so Dennis really enjoyed them without his mouth being on fire. They fried up nicely and quickly too, and were just plain fun to do. I bet you could just stuff a regular bell pepper if you were hesitant about the heat factor, and it would be great too. Thank you so much, MarraMamba, this is a wonderful recipe that was varied and different, but really a wonderful, delightful treat that we will continue to use.

http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/527607/cookswithcattitude.jpg I am a middle aged foodie who has had the luxury of living all over the world except asia. Lived in or grew up in Nigeria, Kenya, Chicago, Russia,and haiti. born in New Zealand, brother born in Austria and many more. I have chronic medication resistant depression after 10 years on anti depressants that worked well but would stop working after a year or two, so now do my best at home living on disabilty. Not a bad thing, many have far worse health issues but i have been able to concentrate on food/cooking. My main passions are my cats. I live in the woods and somehow many starving strays or "dumps" have found the message babies who passed on left in the woods saying "suck lives at xxxx road. Most arrive sick and/or starving. Right now i have 2 that arrived with feline herpes and their attendant 2ndry bacterial infections but are doing beautifully. One old man who was going to be euthanized bc a lady who found him as a stray was moving and didnt want him...well he was a biter and rather grumpy who was in ICU for 3 days with a deadly gut infection which was fixed but he left with a diagnosis of diabetes. 3 months on insulin and finally diet controlled and he caught the herpes virus, respiratory symptom version and turned into a cuddler. Butterscotch must think "why didnt i figure out this cuddle stuff was great before i got sick!" Doing wonderfully even though he has bouts. he and the other kids are my babies. Sadly Butterscotch died of Lymphatic cancer in winter of 2008. A year before Big Boy arrived in my life, starving and weak. Full of affection he jumped into my arms and stayed, turns out he has FIV (cat hiv) so he needs to be watched closely. I love him dearly <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Stockingswapcopy.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/cookbookswap.jpg"> <img src="http://www.caymandesigns.com/foodothers/fallswap.jpg">
