My husband loves jalapeno peppers so I cook a lot of mexican dishges which contain them, and also put them on pizza. Has anyone got any other ideas of recipes where jalapeno peppers could work well, apart from in mexican cooking? Do you like jalapenos or do you use different chillis?

For batter:
2 eggs

1 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk

Mix filling ingredients and stuff peppers. mix batter ingredients well. Dip filled peppers into batter, fry at 350-375 degrees until browned.

Oh, you will love poppers. We can buy them frozen here in the USA, but they are much much better homemade:)

I like very mild, sweet peppers. Of all kinds. Nothing with a spice level above extra mild, and yes, I'm a tender wuss. I love tossing mild Jalapeños into my home made refried beans, stews, and soups. I love Mexican food with mild Jalapeño peppers and would love to grow some, as I also have bell peppers germinating on my kitchen counter.

My husband loves jalapeno peppers too. I put them into omellets for him all the time. He also likes them in his salads and on his sandwiches. I put them on his hamburgers too.

We called them armadillo eggs in Texas, take fresh jalepanos, stuff with slice of cheddar and wrap with bacon, cut piece of bacon in half to wrap around it, bake at 350 til bacon is done and cheese is melted.

I'm in the UK and I've never seem fresh jalapenos in the shops. They only seem to come pickled in jars but I'll take a look as the armadillo eggs sound delicious.
