This is a follow-up to yesterday's post "Stuffed Banana Peppers - Italian Style". Now that I have become quite the over-confident cook, I posted the recipe here while the peppers were in the oven without quite waiting for the final outcome. (Notice the picture in the original post is raw stuffed peppers waiting for the oven to heat up.) Here is the little story of the aftermath. Needless to say, Salil teased me to no end calling them "Pooping Peppers" and even made my failure public via facebook. But, I am an honest cook and for the scores of friends and family who follow our blog and depend on us for the next big idea., I had to come out clean ;).
After spending so much time to carefully pipe the filling in the peppers through the small hole on the top, we baked them. The stuffing swelled and out it came through the same little hole.
Well, I saw the recipe on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and decided to make my own version. After stuffing, they battered the peppers and deep fried them. I guess the batter and an appropriate oil temperture held the stuffing inside.
I needed to skip the frying part and decided to bake them instead and found these delicate little stuffable peppers. Lesson learnt - slit them lengthwise and stuff. Apart from the accident, the whole thing was quite yummy :).
Thats what I love about failed experiments in the kitchen over failed experiments at my lab bench.....I can still eat them!!
