Crabby Poppers

STUFFING 1 lb Cooked crab meat, drained 1/4 cup Celery, chopped 1/2 cup Onions, chopped 1/2 cup Green chiles, chopped 1 tbs Fresh garlic, minced 3 tbs Vegetable oil or bacon grease 1 1/2 cups Bread crumbs 3 Eggs, beaten 1 tbs Cilantro, chopped 1 tsp Fresh ground black pepper 2 tsp Salt Jalapenos About 30 Fresh Jalapeno chiles with stems on 1 cup Flour 2 cups Seasoned bread crumbs 1 tsp Salt 1/2 tsp Black Pepper 2 Eggs beaten with a little water Oil for deep frying

PREPARATION: Stuffing

Heat oil or grease in a heavy pan over medium heat. Saute celery, onions, green chiles, and garlic until tender; set aside. Combine bread crumbs, eggs, cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Add crab meat and cooked vegetables and mix well. Jalapenos: Rinse chiles well.

With a sharp knife or razor blade, make a "T" shaped cut across, just below the stem, and down one side. Carefully remove the seeds and membrane. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Using a sieve or colander, blanch the chiles, in batches if necessary, in the boiling water for 3 minutes and immediately immerse them in cold water to stop the cooking. Drain chiles on a towel.

Put enough stuffing in the chile to just be able to close the cuts.Place the chiles on a sheet pan when stuffed. When all the chiles are on the pan, spray them with a light coat of vegetable oil spray, turning once. Mix the salt and black pepper in with the flour and put it on a plate. Roll each popper in the flour, dip it in the egg mixture, roll it in the bread crumbs and return it to the pan.

Deep fry, 3 or 4 at a time, in hot oil (375-385 degrees F.) until golden brown, turning as necessary. Drain on paper towels.

Serve warm or freeze to be reheated when wanted.
