Dynamite

    Dynamite is a popular Filipino deep-fried snack made with long green chili peppers wrapped in a spring roll. It also has a slightly spicy flavor. You can also fill it with ground beef or pork, cheese, or even both, as these combinations make it taste even better.

Ingredients:

1. 10-12 large green chili peppers (siling green)
2. 1/2 cup ground meat (pork, beef, or chicken)
3. 1/2 cup grated cheese (cheddar or quick-melt)
4. 1 small onion, finely chopped
5. 2 cloves garlic, minced
6. Salt and pepper to taste
7. Spring roll wrappers (lumpia wrappers)
8. Canola Oil for frying

Procedure:

1. Wash the green chili peppers and make a slit down the side, being careful not to cut all the way through.  
2. Take out the seeds and membranes if you want to tone down the heat.  
3. In a pan, sauté the garlic and onion until they smell great.  
4. Add the ground meat and cook it until it’s browned. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.  
5. Take it off the heat and let it cool for a bit.  
6. Stuff each chili pepper with a scoop of the cooked ground meat and a good bit of grated cheese.  
7. Wrap each stuffed chili pepper in a spring roll wrapper, sealing the edges with a bit of water so they don’t pop open while frying.  
8. Heat up some oil in a deep frying pan.  
9. Fry the wrapped chilies until they're golden brown and crispy.  
10. Take them out of the oil and place them on paper towels to soak up any extra oil.  
11. Serve them hot with your fave dipping sauce, like vinegar with garlic and chili, or a sweet and spicy sauce.
