As we might have said in a previous post, we grew an overly abundant amount of peppers this summer. The most fruitful was a spicy jalapeno variety called Jalafuego from Johnny’s Selected Seeds, which we expect to grow again next year. Not realizing how prolific these plants would be in the incredible heat this summer, we ended up with dozens of large jalapenos ripening at the same time. There’s only so many Mexican dishes I can make at once, and only so many jalapenos that can go in each dish! So I decided to recreate a favorite snack from my childhood (though I used to have to go to Arby’s to get my fix): jalapeno poppers.
