Buttermilk Cherry Peppers

Method

Buttermilk Cherry Peppers

  1. 1

    Prepare Cherry Peppers

    Wash and dry the fresh cherry peppers. Cut the tops off and remove the seeds using a small spoon or knife, being careful not to break the peppers.

  2. 2

    Make the Buttermilk Aioli

    In a mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk, mayonnaise, minced garlic cloves, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and green chili powder. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.

  3. 3

    Fill Cherry Peppers

    Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each cherry pepper with the buttermilk aioli mixture until they are generously stuffed.

  4. 4

    Chill

    Place the stuffed cherry peppers on a serving plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the aioli to firm up.

  5. 5

    Serve with Cocktail Sauce

    Serve the chilled buttermilk cherry peppers alongside the cocktail sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
