Dynamite - The Appetizer

Last weekend, my sister brought her friends from the office to our home. They would be going to a beach resort in Laiya and they spent the night in our house.

Inay and I were busy preparing their food for dinner, breakfast, and merienda. Our household was not used to serving meals for guests but, entertaining friends and colleagues from the city was an exception.

My sister told me that they might be drinking that night so I prepared an appetizer -- the Dynamite. It is a spicy appetizer made from siling haba (green chilies), cheese, and lumpia wrapper (spring roll wrapper). 

Tip: Buy green chilies used in cooking Sinigang, they are midly spicy. The chilies we bought were long, about 3-4 inches, and they were super spicy!



Here are the steps for making Dynamite:
1. Wash the green chilies. Slice lengthwise, but not totally slicing the chili in half, and remove the seeds.
2. Cut the cheese approximately the size of the chili.
3. Cut the lumpia wrapper in half.



4. Put the cheese inside the chili and roll inside the lumpia wrapper.





5. Fry the chili rolls until golden brown. Serve with mayonnaise or ketchup.

Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the finished product.
