Since its launch in 1922, Branston has been a firm family favourite.

MedicSN6 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) One of my favorite snacks and cocktail horsdourves is the Cream Cheese Stuffed Pepperoncini. This is a blend of gentle heat and soothing cream cheese. Even my wife likes them and she doesn't 'do' spicy at all. The simple version is to first, take a pepperoncini and remove the stem and the seeds, (the seeds are where most of the heat is) making sure not to break the sides or tip of the pepper. I found it better to do this en mass at the sink while rinsing under very cold flowing water. Be sure to pat dry the pepper and drainany standing water from the inside. While you are doing this, slowly and carefully, heat some cubed cream cheese in a microwavable bowl. The cream cheese needs to be thin, not hot. All you are trying to do is lower the viscosity of the cream cheese, not cook it. Gently fold the cream cheese until it is uniform and then place it into a ziplock baggy (gallon size works the best and it does not have to have the zipper, the old style is fine because you will throw this away when you're done.) Push the cream cheese to one corner of the bag and twist the top of the bag down upon it. Youve just made a cream cheese pipette. When you are ready to fill the pepperoncinis, cut a small diagonal corner off of the cream cheese baggy and then slowly and gently fill each pepperoncini with the cream cheese. This may get a little messy, but its not bad. When you have finished filling the peppers, place them in a container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or till the cream cheese has become cold again. Serve. I have been playing around with adding different flavors, like garlic an herb, some crab meat and old bay. They were good, but I like the purist original the best. I hope you do too. I found it difficult to find the pepperoncinis at first and then I talked to a friend who is the executive chef of a fine dining rest near by and he got me the hook up through SYSCO. One gallon cost me just under $6. Then the cost of cream cheese which is around $1.00 for 6-8 oz. Not a very expensive food to make.

MedicSN6 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I put a link for the pepperoncini in the post at the top. I did this right when I posted it at first. You guys are just blind LOL. Nice suggestion Athlon, you will have to send me the recipe. Kram, no snack is a good snack unless it needs preparing before hand. What i do is make two or three small tupperwares of them and they last me a couple of weeks, just having a few here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
