Jalapeno poppers

You could use any large chilli, but plump jalapeños have large cavities particularly perfect for filling with cheese. The cream cheese here is combined with coriander and salt, but you could simply fill the jalapeño with a chunk of cheddar before crumbing and frying. We’ve been told how well matched wine is to cheese, but what about beer with cheese? Its carbonated fizz cleanses the fat from the palate and allows the flavour of the cheese to stand out. A wheat beer is a fine choice.
