Combine 1/4 cup flour, 2 tablespoons cornmeal, and next 3 ingredients; set batter aside. Combine remaining 1/2 cup flour and 1/4 cup cornmeal. Dip stuffed peppers in batter; dredge in flour mixture. Pour oil to depth of 2 to 3 inches in a Dutch oven; heat to 375ºF. Fry peppers, a few at a time, 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden. Drain on paper towels. Yield: about 12 appetizers.
