Tofutti Jalapeno Poppers
Jalapenos are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapenos have a balanced combination of flavor and heat.
The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties. You can now get jalapenos with various heat level and sizes. These can be used in salsas, stuffed, or eaten straight with cheeseburgers (my personal favorite).
Ingredients:
12 jalapeno peppers, sliced in half lengthwise, tops and seeds removed
1 (8 oz.) container of Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese
1 cup soy milk
1 cup flour
1 cup breadcrumbs
oil for deep frying
Instructions:
Fill the jalapeno peppers with the Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese.
Put the soy milk and the flour into two separate bowls.
Dip the stuffed jalapenos into the soy milk and then into the flour, making sure that they are well-coated. Allow the coated jalapenos to dry for about 10 minutes.
Dip the jalapenos into the soy milk again and roll them through the breadcrumbs. Allow them to dry then repeat the process to ensure that the entire surface of each jalapeno is coated.
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil to 350F.
Deep fry the jalapenos for about 3 minutes or until golden brown, then transfer them to paper towels to drain.
