Try this one, Chet....havent done it for awhile....Rob will likely add
it to the PepperFool page, as I do not think that I have posted it in
the last three years. Enjoy it!
4 large Anaheims, or New Mex or Big Jims
4 dried Chinese black mushrooms
3 scallions
6 water chestnuts
2 tbls chunky peanut butter
1/4 lb ground pork
3/4 lb fresh shrimp or prawns
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp light soy sauce
1 tsp Calvin's or your own dried, pulverized chille
2-3 tbls corn starch
salt to taste
Soak the Chinese mushrooms in hot water for about half an hour, then
discard stem, squeeze out most of the water and mince. Mince the
scallions, water chestnut, shell and devein the prawns, and mince them
as well. Cut the peppers lengthwise, remove seeds, put them in cold
salted water while you mix everything else in a bowl. If the mixture is
too wet, add a little more cornstarch. Remove the chile halves, and dry
on paper towel, then stuff with the filling. Put peanut oil in a
skillet and on medium heat fry the peppers, meat side down for three
minutes.....turn them over and fry on the other side for about two
minutes. Do not let them burn on the pepper side....I usually turn the
heat down and cover them for the last couple of minutes....this will
give you 8 stuffed chile halves, enough for 4 in a Chinese meal, with
three other dishes, or for two, with a stir fry of veggies, and Thai
rice.
