Crispy, spicy, cheesy, what more could you want!
Ingredients:
6x fresh Jalapeños
150g cream cheese
50g cheddar
100g flour
170ml water
Breadcrumbs
Parmesan
Frying Oil
Salt & Pepper
1x Lime
Method:
Add the cream cheese to a bowl and grate in the cheddar, mix well with salt and pepper.
Slice the tops from the chillies and then slice the chillies in half along the long side, remove the seeds with a spoon.
Fill the chillies with the cheese mixture and level out with a knife.
Place the cheese filled chillies in the freezer while you prepare the breadcrumbs.
Whisk the flour and water together in a bowl to create a batter. Add the breadcrumbs, 1tbsp flour and some grated parmesan to another bowl.
Add 750ml oil to a wok or saucepan and bring to a high heat.
Remove chillies from the freezer and one at a time, place into the batter mixture, then the breadcrumbs, then the batter again and finally the breadcrumbs again. Wash and dry your hands after you have done half the chillies to make it easier! Set these aside til the oil comes to temperature.
Fry the chillies in hot oil for 5 minutes, until nicely crisp and golden. Rest on kitchen paper to drail excess oil, and sprinkle with salt.
Pop onto a serving plate and finish with some fresh lime zest!
