I was looking for a recipe to poach from some food network chefs. I always have to tweak them a little and make them my own! This recipe from GF ( I dont usually subscribe to his ideas of tasty due to the fact that the DDD show has disappointed myself as well as some friends when we have visited the featured locations) was a winner!
I used cream cheese not mascarpone - I save that for tiramisu
I mixed my mozzarella into the stuffing instead of putting it on top - less messy!
Sprinkled the tops with a little chopped parsley and scallion
and baked at 400 for about 7 mins....
everything else was pretty static to his recipe... Enjoy! Oh yeah and don't forget top wear gloves when prepping the jalapenos! They really wernt spicy at all after de seeding and removing the veins.... a few zings near the stem end - nothing unpalatable!
Ingredients
15 jalapenos,, cut in 1/2, seeded and deveined
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 cup minced red onion
1/4 cup minced red bell pepper
3 tablespoons minced garlic
2 pounds mild Italian sausage, casings removed
2 cups mascarpone or cream cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Minced chives
Directions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Place jalapenos on a sheet tray and roast for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Heat the oil in a medium saute pan. Add onions, peppers, garlic and sausage and cook for about 2 minutes. Remove and place in a large bowl. Cool to room temperature, then add mascarpone, and Parmesan. Mix ingredients thoroughly and season with salt and pepper.
Place approximately 1 tablespoon of mixture into each jalapeno half, and top with 1/2 teaspoon of mozzarella cheese.
Place the sheet tray of stuffed peppers in oven and bake for 5 minutes or until mozzarella cheese melts.
Garnish with minced chives and Parmesan.
