A quick cooking tip for Holiday Parties:
We
love Jalapeno 'Poppers' stuffed with sausage, shredded mozzarella and
cream cheese, but hot peppers cause some serious grief when you have to
cut a bunch of them.
I've found that rubbing some olive oil on
your hands before you start to prepare the peppers creates a barrier on
the skin that prevents the heat from being absorbed. The trick is keep
any of the juice from penetrating the skin in the first place.
And it lasts throughout the process of stuffing and rinsing your hands multiple times as you work with different ingredients.
When
you're finished handling those hot little devils and want to get rid of
any oily feeling, just rub a dab of shampoo on your hands to remove any remaining residue; lather, rinse, repeat and you're ready to enjoy this yummy dish without the misery!
