Put on your disposable gloves to avoid burning yourself with the peppers.

Lay a pepper on its side and cut lengthwise through the stem, leaving a bit of stem on each half. If the pepper is a bit moon-shaped, as they often are, hold one half away from the stem as flat as you can. The stem will be pointing up. Cut the half that is resting on the counter in half. Now turn the pepper so this cut half is pointing up and insert the tip of the knife in the cut you just made. Bring the knife down through the stem to complete the slice.

Once all the peppers have been cut in half, hold one half in your gloved hand and insert a small spoon into the inside of the pepper between the seeds and the stem. Pull the spoon down to the tip end, pulling all the seeds and membranes out of the pepper. After a couple of practice runs, you will be able to clean the entire pepper with one swipe. You are now ready to stuff the pepper! Enjoy!
