Finished product - you and your guests will love them!

You will need:

1 jar/can of piquillo peppers. A specialty grocer either Latin or Spanish might carry them. And of course, you can order them online (amazon, etc).

1 package of imitation crab meat

4 hard boiled eggs

Mayonnaise

Finely chop the crab meat into tiny diced pieces. Do the same with the eggs. Combine these in a large mixing bowl and slowly add mayonnaise. Keep adding mayonnaise until the ingredients start to stick together. The texture should be like a thick paste. Then take a piquillo pepper and stuff the mixture in with a spoon until filled. Repeat will all the peppers.

That's it. It is ready to eat or you can refrigerate if serving later. Accompany with some slices of french baguette (us Spanish eat everything with bread...lol) and a glass of wine.

Makes a great appetizer! Enjoy
