experiment

Jalapeño poppers are something I can't normally have on this diet. The chilis themselves aren't terrible on the carb meter but the breading is. Last night I decided to try using parm cheese like I do with fish and chicken to simulate a fried food and appease a craving. The results... sorta a success. I could not get the cheese to stick to the jalapeño pods but since I was stuffing half a jalapeño, the cheese stuck to the cream cheese (with green olives) very nicely. The whole thing deep fried fairly nicely blistering the jalapeño skin but not burning it and causing the parm cheese to turn golden brown on top. I'd call it success other than the fact that it just didn't come out the way I hoped. I was hoping for a crust of parm all around the pod and stuffing not just over the top. No pics, they weren't very pretty and I was hungry and greasy. No need to get oil all over the camera for something that isn't quite figured out yet.
