Crab Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers
12 large Jalapenos Peppers
4 oz. crabmeat, well drained
1/3 cup minced red onion
1/4 cup minced green bell pepper
1/4 cup cream cheese
1/2 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup Corona beer
Oil for frying
All purpose flour
For Garnish
1/2 avocado, peeled and diced
1/2 cup salsa
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
Starting just below stem, cut Jalapenos lengthwise in half, leaving stems
attached. Remove the seeds. Place Jalapenos in medium saucepan. Cover with cold
water and bring to simmer. Drain. Repeat process. Dry the Jalapenos.
Combine crab, onion, bell pepper and cream cheese in small bowl. Season with
salt and pepper. Fill Jalapeno cavities with crab mixture. Press the pepper
halves together to compress filling. (Can be prepared ahead. Cover and chill.)
Place 1/2 cup flour in bowl. Gradually whisk in beer. Let stand 30 minutes.
Heat oil in heavy deep pot to 375°F. Whisk batter until smooth. Dredge Jalapenos
in flour, then dip into batter to coat completely and deep-fry until golden
brown. Remove peppers from oil and allow to drain. Combine avocado, salsa and
mayonnaise in small bowl, and use this to garnish the peppers.
