2. Jalapeno Cucarachas
Posted by: “*~Tamara~*

Jalapeno Cucarachas

12 small jalapeno or habanero peppers
6 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, cubed
1 cup thinly sliced hard salami
wooden toothpicks

1 Slice off the stem ends of the jalapeno peppers, and
carefully remove the seeds and white fibers with a
small knife. Fill the pepper with cheese. Take one
piece of salami, and cover the open end of the pepper
with it. Fold it around, and secure with three
toothpicks in a row. The salami should keep the cheese
from leaking out when grilling.
2 Preheat on outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly
oil the grate.
3 Place the peppers meat side down on the hot grill.
Turn occasionally after a minute or two as the meat
begins to crisp up, and the skin on the peppers is
starting to blister. When it is evenly browned the
toothpicks will have turned black like six little legs
sticking out - hence the name cucarachas. Allow the
peppers to cool slightly, then remove toothpicks and
enjoy!

Re: Strawberry Mousse
FYI inconsistency - Strawberry Mousse - top says “12 servings” - bottom
says yields 8 servings. No big deal - the recipe is just great for any
number
