large banana peppers
boiled or baked meat (chicken, steak, etc.)
grated cheese
bacon strips
cup of flour
1 egg
Salt and pepper
Oil
(Use amounts as needed for the number of peppers.)
How to make this recipe:
Slice peppers length-wise on one side (do not cut in two). Clean/De-seed.
Stuff with boiled or baked chicken (or sliced steak, roast), sprinkle with grated cheese to taste, salt and pepper.
Close pepper and wrap with bacon strip, fasten with toothpick. Dip in egg and batter with flour, salt and pepper.
Place peppers in hot olive oil (or your favorite oil) and fry until golden brown. Place on paper towels to drain any extra oil.
Meat can be prepared at anytime - good for leftovers too. Serve either warm or cool.
Notes: Using strips of chicken will provide a better "finger food," while other meats may have a tendency to produce more juices.
Fried doesn't have to mean "fat". Use the correct oil, correct temperature, and drain well.
Prep time: approximately 30 minutes, depending on how many you want to make
