Pistachio-Stuffed Jalapenos Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Jalapeno Popper Recipes. (Pistachio-Stuffed Jalapenos Recipe). Certain flavors have always meant to be together, like jalapenos and cream cheese. Or bacon and...well, almost anything. Pistachios, however, get forgotten too often! They are a contradiction in your mouth: creamy, smooth nutty flavor with a crunchy texture. At some point it occurred to me to try adding pistachios to stuffed jalapenos, and these delicious beauties were the result. I made two different versions since I'm lactose intolerant and my husband hates goat cheese. Both are delish!
