Grilled Pepper Poppers & an Award

Grilled Poppers

(My son Mathieu (15) took this picture)

For this month our Cooking Light Virtual Supper Club shared tapas-appetizers. I choose to prepare Grilled Pepper Poppers. I enjoyed the delicious creamy texture of the filling but the poppers were a bit too hot for my taste. Next time I will make them using those small sweet peppers that you can find in different colors at your grocery store. Also the filling is really good as a dip for veggies or tortilla chips.

That is a BEAUTIFUL rustic photo, Helene!! I love pepper poppers!!!

Bellini Valli said...

These sound amazing Helene. When I was in San Francisco I found a type of pepper called Pimentos de Padron that would be the Russian Roulette of spicy peppers..which means that most often they are mild but sometimes you get a spicy one...perfect for us!!!!!

Deeba PAB said...

i love grilled peppers, and the hotter the better! of course, it helps to have lots of cheese to cool down the flames. :)

La Table De Nana said...

A nice light appetizer beautifully presented!

The shape of the serving platters marries beautifully with the peppers..

I have a darling little rack for peppers..and all my jalapenos have been too hot..do you have a recommendation for me? I even seeded them of course:) Thank you and congratulations:)

Cooking Light has supplied you (and thereby your readers) with some great recipes. And they never look 'light'! The eye may not be fooled, but surely the tongue thinks otherwise. Delicious!

Mary said...

Congratulations on your award. I love the recipe for poppers and will give them a try when my grandson's are here.

George Gaston said...

Helene, what a wonderful appetizer. I have been looking for an appetizer that has a little 'heat' and this one packs a real punch I bet.

Congratulations on your award ~ well desired!

What a great way to make poppers! I've only had them deep-fried, but would much prefer your grilled version. Congratulations on your award!

Nice! I do something similar that my friends have labeled crack at my house. I completely trash the cooking light aspect by wrapping them in bacon.

My husband has ordered me to make these for him at once! He seems to forget that the jalepenos aren't commonly grown here. He has suggested that I find a J pepper plant in the Garden store:-)
