Raw Cheddar Sun Dried Tomato Stuffed Jalapenos
More jalapenos? Why yes! I apologize to any of you that do not like hot peppers for all of my spicy pepper posts lately, but I love the little guys and I have been given a lot of them lately. I make a lot of hot sauce, but I have been a little more inspired to make actual recipes with them too. The latest of which was Cheddar Sun Dried Tomato Stuffed Jalapenos. To be honest, I have been wanting to make something of the sort for over two years now, or since I went raw really. Every time I would hear about jalapeno poppers or stuffed jalapenos, I would say to myself...I need to make some raw ones.
Raw Cheddar Sun Dried Tomato Stuffed Jalapenos
Makes 24
Creamy Cheddar Cheese:
2 cups finely shredded, dried coconut
1 cup young coconut meat
1/3 cup water
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
a pinch turmeric
a pinch sea salt
1/2 tsp probiotic powder
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped
12 jalapenos, cut in half lengthwise and seeds removed
To make the cheese, Add the coconut to a high speed blender* and blend until a smooth butter. combine all ingredients in the blender, and blend until smooth. Place in a bowl, cover, and let sit on the counter in a warm place for 12 hours until it starts to become a little tangy. Place in the fridge until it firms up a little (to the consistency of spreadable cheese, you want to be able to pipe it). Stir in the tomatoes. Place the cheese in a pastry bag or a ziplock back with the corner cut off, and pipe into the prepared jalapenos. Serve!
*Note: this will not work if you do not have a high speed blender strong enough to turn the coconut to butter.

Sounds lovely. Wish I could get hold of young coconut meat easily and cheaply.
Have you tried an Asian market? I buy mine buy the case there and they are only $1.25 a coconut because they give me a case discount.
Oh, good idea, I'll check it out. They won't be organic but I suppose it's not a problem with coconuts?
Amy, what probiotic do you use? I am having difficulty finding on that is vegan.
