Chiles--Removing the Heat (Seeds and Membranes)Most of the time, when we prepare poppers, we cut the top of the chile off, remove the seeds and stuff away.  Easy, right?  But, what if you want to leave the chile whole and stuff it?  Then, how do you remove the seeds and membranes?  Continue reading →
