Maple Jalapenos could be just the gluten free recipe you've been looking for. For 28 cents per serving, you get a hor d'oeuvre that serves 50. One serving contains 58 calories, 2g of protein, and 4g of fat. Head to the store and pick up jalapeno peppers, bacon strips, cream cheese, and a few other things to make it today. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes approximately 1 hour and 5 minutes.
Instructions
Cut jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Set aside. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, feta cheese and syrup until smooth. Spoon into pepper halves.
Place in two greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pans. Top with bacon and sprinkle with brown sugar.
Bake at 350° for 20 minutes for spicy flavor, 30 minutes for medium and 40 minutes for mild.
Recommended wine: Cava, Shiraz, Grenache
Cava, Shiraz, and Grenache are my top picks for Chili. These juicy reds don't have too much tannin (important for spicy foods), but a sparkling wine like cava can tame the heat even better. The Totus Tuus Cava with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.
Totus Tuus Cava
Totus Tuus Cava shows bright aromas of peach, lemon, and orange zest, with a touch of licorice. The wine is concentrated, tactile and dense in the mouth, with a sappy, stony character to its citrus, pit fruit and anise flavors. Shows richness and vivacity in the mouth and the bright finish is long.
