INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Fry lean bacon to crispy and drain on paper towels.  Great cheese
fine. Remove stems and chop cilantro leaves fine.  Grate horseradish
root fine.  Cut a small circular hole in the tops of peppers around the
stem, apx.  Mix cheese, horseradish, cilantro and bacon bits together.
Stuff  mixture into chilies.  Put about a 1/2 inch or peanut oil in
your favorite cast iron skillet  and heat to high, but not smoking.
Other oils are OK and using a  deep fat fryer would work also.  Mix a
thin pancake batter using approximate. double the amount of  water
called for.  Plunge stuffed habs into batter and roll in durum flour.
After all  12 are coated repeat for a second time.  Cook only 2-3 at a
time to keep the oil hot.  Cook each side for 30-45  seconds (flip
gently with a fork), until golden tan, not brown.  Serve hot.
*Alternate filling ingredients: Horseradish can be over powering and
"kill" the flavor of the other ingredients some times. You can leave
it out or substitute cumin, celery seed, garlic etc. Experiment, it's
the fun part of cooking!...  Or is it the eating?  Notes:  These bite
sized treats are also a home remedy for the comon  cold or stuffy nose.
