Pesto Jalapeno Poppers, fresh jalapenos are filled with pesto pasta, fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and feta. These poppers are great as an appetizer or side dish recipe

PESTO JALAPENO POPPERS

This is a unique jalapeno popper. Like bell peppers, you can stuff jalapeno with whatever floats your boat. Basically, I stuffed them with pesto pasta salad.

Additionally, I baked these peppers, but you can grill them.

HOW TO PURCHASE JALAPENOS

Jalapeno peppers will be in the product department of your grocery store, close to the bell peppers.

You’ll want to purchase ones that are green and firm. Therefore, avoid jalapenos that are mushy or wrinkled.

Jalapeno peppers get hotter as they get older. Therefore, if you’re looking for hot, spicy jalapenos, choose peppers with fine lines and just beginning to soften.

PREPARE JALAPENOS

First, if you have sensitive skin, wear gloves when handling jalapenos. They can cause skin irritation.

Wash and allow the jalapenos to dry.

Next, split the jalapeno in half horizontally leaving part of the stem intact on by sides. (It helps to start with the stem end to do this.)

Finally, clean out the lighter/white membrane and remove the seeds.
