Fried Mice

We  went out to dinner last night and "Fried Mice" were on the menu. Certainly  looked like fried mice but in fact are stuffed and deep fried  Jalepino Peppers very hot and spicy.

Abby there is a good picture on the net if you can put it up along with recipes.

Definitely giving them a miss

You will need:
Jalapeno peppers - you can try other varieties and sizes.



For the stuffing, you will need
cream cheese
shredded cheese, any variety - the stringy kinds are good like mozzarella

seasonings - garlic, onion, salt, pepper, crushed pepper flakes, parsley, chili powder, etc. whatever you like.
Adjust the heat to your preference.

bacon - I'm going to try this turkey bacon as it might be "healthier", you can also use any other additional cured meats as flavoring, ham, proscuitto or pepperoni bits.

Stick pretzels - small thin ones, not the pretzel rods, you can even use potato stix.

Couple of strands of cooked spaghetti, or noodles

For the breading:
seasoned flour
egg or milk
breadcrumbs - you can also use cornmeal, cracker crumbs, panko breadcrumbs or just back into the flour tank

You can go with a batter type coating also.  Try beer batter or tempura.
 
And lastly, a kitchen equipped for deep-fat frying or try the oven-fry method.

Thanks Abby eye wateringly spicy! 

I do not think I could even have a taste 

You need to make sure of the heat of the chilis you use...the hottest one in the world has a heat rating of 750,000...wonder if anyone has ever eaten one of those.

Peach Ghost Scorpion. : 750,000+ Scoville heat units A cross between a Ghost Chile (Bhut Jolokia) and a Trinidad Scorpion. ...I love the bell chilis we grow...they are not too hot if you take the seeds and membranes out.  I use these in the chili relish recipe my hubby likes. Image result for bell chili
