Texas Rockets

Difficulty:
1/5

Ease of Preparation: Moderate

Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients:

12-15 jalapeño peppers (about 3.5-4 inches long)

1 cup provolone (250ml)

½ cup crumbled goat cheese (125ml)

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro roughly chopped (30ml)

½ cup fresh corn kernels (125ml)

2 tablespoons chopped sundried tomatoes in oil drained (30ml)

Pepper to taste

12 thin slices of bacon cut in half

12 sturdy toothpicks soaked in water for 15 minutes.

 

1 cup sour cream for dipping (250ml)

 

Method:

In a medium bowl combine the cheeses, cilantro, sundried tomatoes and corn kernels together.

Cut jalapeno peppers lengthwise down 1 side, leaving the other side intact (creating an open book); leave the top and stem on.

Using the handle of a spoon scrape the seeds and membranes out of the pepper. Note if you want extra spice leave some in.

Spoon 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture into the cavity of each pepper.

Wrap each pepper in bacon and secure it in place with a wooden toothpick.

Prepare your barbecue.  Place a drip pan under barbeque grates to prevent flare ups.

Place a grill screen over the drip pan directly on top of the grill grate.

Preheat barbeque to medium heat 325°F (160°C).

Oil the grill grate to help prevent sticking.

Place the stuffed peppers onto the grill plate and cook with the lid up for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.  Turn the peppers frequently for even cooking.

Serve and enjoy!
