Chilli Poppers v0.1

While shopping in Sainsbury's we noticed that they had some rather large Green Chillis in their chilli section, these seemed a good size to attempt to make Chilli Poppers.

Not actually knowing what was in them, we decided to go for a stuffing of Mozzarella and plum tomatoes and grill them in the oven rather than coating them and frying them. So the chillis had their tops chopped off, we scooped out the seeds and insides and stuffed them with strips of Mozzarella and the plum tomatoes. We then pinned the tops back on with skewers and grilled them in the oven until both sides looked cooked.

The results were edible, but a little disappointing. The Mozzarella didn't have a strong enough flavour to compete with the chilli and the chillis had a slightly bitter taste to them. Next time, we're going to use a stronger cheese, perhaps cream cheese. We might even try to coat them and fry them rather than grilling them.
