Smoked Chipotle Porter - Try it on draft at London Gastropub!!

We also love the idea of cooking with beer.

Ingredients for Smoked Porter Stuffed Peppers:

4 Large Bell Peppers (for stuffing)

1 Large Bell Pepper - diced

1 Large Yellow Onion - diced

1 Poblano Pepper - diced

1 Jalapeno Pepper - minced

5 Cloves of Garlic - minced

1 Pound Ground Pork Sausage

2/3 Cup Basmati Rice

1 Bottle Smoked Porter

1/8 Cup Chipotle Pepper Puree

2 (6oz) Cans Tomato Paste

Chili Powder

Salt & Pepper

Instructions:

1. Pour the bottle of smoked porter into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add rice. Cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook about 20 minutes.

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

3. Cut the tops off the peppers and gut them out (seeds and ribs). Cut the bottom so that the peppers can stand up.

4. In a medium skillet heat oil and add the garlic and jalapeno. Saute for a minute and then add the diced onions and green peppers. Saute for about 5 minutes and then add the ground pork sausage. Brown the meat. Turn off the heat and mix in the tomato paste, chipotle puree, chili powder, salt & pepper and cooked rice.

5. Stuff the peppers with the filling. Stand the peppers up inside a non-greased baking dish (Wrap bottom of peppers in foil if they look like they are going to leak). Drizzle a little oilve oil on top of peppers. Bake for about 45 minutes. Option to top peppers with cheese 10 minutes before removing from oven.

6. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with a smoked porter. Cheers!!
