Stuffed Jalapenos – Oh my!

Impress your friends with a Paleo friendly canape with a kick – Stuffed Jalapenos.  Many thanks to the handsome and wholesome Scott Gooding & Luke Hines for this creation.

(Here’s what my version looked like before heading in to the oven).

Ingredients:                                                                                      

• 100g Pork Mince
• 2 teaspoons fennel seeds
• 1/3 cup coarsely grated carrot
• 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
• Sea salt and ground black pepper
• 12 large fresh jalepenos
• 12 slices of prosciutto, halved crosswise
• Lemon wedges to serve

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. Slice the jalapenos lengthways, removing the seeds.
3. Mix the pork, carrot, spring onions, fennel, salt and pepper (to taste) in a bowl.
4. Stuff the halved jalapenos with the mixture, pressing down firmly. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around each one and lay upwards on the baking tray.
5. Bake for 25 minutes or until the pork is cooked and the jalapenos are golden. Serve with the lemon wedges and with a Bloody Mary.

Cry baby? Try stuffing small yellow and orange peppers for guests who want a milder flavour.
