These stuffed peppers make my mouth water as I fry them :)
for the filling:
4 cups flavored bread crumb
3/4 cup of grated Parmesan and Romano cheese
3 to 4 finely minced garlic cloves
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup of finely chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 tsp oregano
few leaves of fresh chopped Basil or 1/2 tsp dry flakes
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 eggs
3/4 cup water ( more or less as needed
Mix everything in a large bowl , hands work best ... the mix should just hold together ... if to dry add a little more water if its to soft add more bread crumbs
2 dozen hot cherry peppers- remove the stems , cut in half and scoop out seeds
Stuff the filling in the peppers and press filling down and smooth the top
In a heavy metal fry pan add 1/4 inch vegetable oil and heat on medium high heat, place the peppers when the oil is heated with the filled side down ( you should hear the frying as you place pepper in the hot oil if not wait till oil is hot enough ) ...LOWER heat to just medium and cook about 5 minutes shake the pan gently and the peppers should be moving freely without sticking ... turn pepper( should be a nice dark golden color ) and continue frying till pepper cooked on other side (about 5 minutes )
place them on a serving platter and sprinkle w/grated cheese and parsley
