~Many years ago~ when I started my stuffed jalapeno series for the blog, I simply doused chicken with hot sauce and baked some 'penos... These Buffalo Shredded Pork Stuffed Jalapenos call for just a couple more ingredients and are a very nice variation. Another thing I tried, notice the disposable tray? Yep, I cooked these on the grill:@) My pork was just some very inexpensive "pork cubes" I picked up at the supermarket and cooked in the Crock Pot until it reached shredable stage. Then froze it flat in a zip top bag, that way I could still break off only enough as I needed at one time.
While I love the flavor of jalapenos, I do like to clean mine well to tame a bit of the heat:
I added a new pepper to the planters this year,
Tricked You! They say it has all the jalapeno flavor but no heat, we'll see:@)
Shredded Pork Stuffed Jalapenos
Jalapenos, sliced in half lengthwise and cleaned-or leave the seeds in, you know your crowd
Enough pork to stuff the amount of peppers you have
Celery, small dice, about 1/4-1/3 as much as meat
Wing sauce, or hot sauce, your favorite brand-I used Frank's today
Blue cheese dressing for drizzle
Extra hot sauce for serving
- No real recipe here folks, just mix meat and celery with enough hot sauce to coat well and make wet.
- Stuff peppers, place on tray and cover with foil. Bake on covered grill, medium heat, 15 minutes for firmer peppers, 20 minutes if you like them softer. I turned the tray half way.
- Drizzle with blue cheese dressing and serve with bottle of hot sauce on side.
Eat well and have a happy day:@)
YUM!!! I'd take these with the heat, but Bill would definitely like these much better made with a coolapeno. They look delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteOoooh these sound so good! I like your idea of breaking off the pork as needed. Delicious!
