Somebody posted a recipe the other day for jalapeno's stuffed with cream
cheese, Habaneros and cayenne. We did something a bit different with a
similar concept. 10-12 jalapeno's, stemmed and seeded. Steam for 5 to 10
minutes. Dice fine, mix with 1/2 a container of soft cream cheese. Dice one
or two habaneros and mix in. I added a tbsp. of cajun spice, mostly for the
salt. Spoon a tsp. or so into a wonton skin, fold in half to form a triangle
and deep fry. I would add more habanero next time, we seem to have gotten
into a mild set of jalapenos.
When I was steaming the jalapenos, I took the lid off to check on them. Went
back to the living room where I was in the middle of a book. As I walked
past my wife she made some comment about my smelling like a jalapeno. Of
course, I HAD to ask of that was having a stimulating effect (although I
said it with a bit more of a knuckledragging accent) or did I have to rub a
habanero behind each ear... And yes, I slept quite well on the couch... ;-)
