Pineapple Lemon Drop Pepper Stuffed Cucumbers

Pineapple Lemon Drop Pepper Stuffed Cucumbers

While I enjoy spicy dishes, certain heat levels are challenging for me. Serrano peppers and habanero peppers are where I take a chill pill. Lemon drop peppers are about as hot as habanero peppers. We recently cultivated lemon drop peppers, and I was eager to incorporate them into a dish. Combining pineapple, red pepper, and coconut cream creates an exceptional filling that perfectly complements the lemon drop peppers.

Pineapple Lemon Drop Pepper Filling Ingredients:

Cucumbers: 4 large cucumbers

1-3 lemon hot peppers finely chopped

1/2 of a red bell pepper finely chopped (for added sweetness and color)

3 Tbsp of coconut cream (to help cool and balance the spice)

1 Tbsp of chopped mint leaves

Lime juice from 1/2 of a lime

1 Tbsp of maple syrup  (optional for added sweetness)

Additional Ingredients:

Macadamia Cream - You can find this recipe in my Turnip Vegan Recipe Club (link in bio)

Everything but the bagel seasoning 

Instructions:

Step 1. Slice cucumbers into thick slices and scoop out the center using a measuring spoon. (Leave some at the bottom)

Step 2. Chop and mix all ingredients for the filling in a bowl.

Step 3. Add the filling to the cucumbers and top with cream and Everything but the bagel seasoning.

Enjoy!
