GRILLED ANAHEIM POPPERS

These spicy grilled poppers are stuffed with four kinds of cheese, green onion and citrus peel. We like using Anaheim peppers rather than jalapenos, as they’re milder and have a brighter flavour.

Yield: Makes 9.

GRILLED ANAHEIM POPPERS

Ingredients

  • 9 Anaheim peppers
  • 4 oz (125 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat natural gas barbecue on medium heat for 10 - 15 minutes.
  2. Cut top 1/2 inch off of each pepper; set pepper tops aside. Using a knife and spoon, remove and discard seeds and ribs; set peppers aside.
