CHILES RELLENOS



Chiles Rellenos image

Chiles are a must where I live. I find they almost always improve a recipe that uses cheese. Sometimes I make this into a heartier main dish by adding shredded cooked chicken after the chile layer. It really tastes good! -Irene Martin, Portales, New Mexico

CHILES RELLENOS



Chiles Rellenos image

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 poblano chile peppers
5 plum tomatoes, cored and coarsely chopped
1/2 small white onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
1 tablespoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican
3 large egg whites plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
Vegetable oil, for frying
All-purpose flour, for dredging

Steps:

  • Char the chiles.
  • Turn a gas burner on high. Char the chiles on the burner grate, turning with tongs (Marcela is a pro and uses her hands!), until blackened all over. Or char the chiles under the broiler.
  • Let them soften.
  • Transfer the charred chiles to a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag and close. Let stand 10 minutes. The chiles will steam in the bag, making them soft and easy to peel.
  • Remove the skin.
  • Gently rub the chiles with paper towels to remove as much skin as possible. It's okay if a few flecks remain-they'll add flavor, so don't rinse them off.
  • Open the chiles.
  • Using a paring knife, make a slit across the top of a chile just below the stem, leaving the stem intact. Starting from the middle of the slit, slice lengthwise down to the tip of the pepper (cut through only one layer). Open the chile like a book and pull out the seeds and inner membranes. You may need to use a paring knife to loosen the top of the seedpod. Repeat with the remaining chiles.
  • Prepare the sauce.
  • Puree the tomatoes, onion and garlic in a blender until smooth. Warm the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the tomato puree and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally; the sauce will be broth-y. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
  • Make the filling.
  • Place the cheese in a bowl, then add the oregano, crumbling and rubbing it with your fingers to release its flavor. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
  • Stuff the chiles.
  • Fill each chile with about 1/4 cup cheese mixture. Fold in the sides to cover the filling, then thread 2 toothpicks across the seam to form an X. You will probably need to make a second toothpick X to secure each chile so the filling doesn't leak out when you fry.
  • Mix the batter.
  • Beat the egg whites with a mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Add the egg yolk and beat 3 more minutes.
  • Batter and fry.
  • Heat about 1 inch vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
  • Dredge: Pour flour into a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. One at a time, coat the stuffed chiles with the flour.
  • Batter: Holding each chile by the stem, lower it into the egg batter to cover completely. Let any excess batter drip off.
  • Fry: Add the chiles to the hot oil, 1 or 2 at a time; fry, flipping once with tongs, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  • Eat!
  • Place a fried chile on each plate and pour the warm sauce over it. Serve immediately.

CHILES RELLENOS RECIPE BY TASTY



Chiles Rellenos Recipe by Tasty image

In this recipe, fresh pasilla chiles are roasted over an open flame and stuffed with queso fresco, then stewed in a rich, creamy white sauce for a decadent take on a classic Mexican dish.

Provided by Juliana Fregoso

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h3m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 fresh pasilla chiles
32 oz queso fresco, crumbled
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more as needed
2 jars mexican sour cream
1 cup whole milk
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
corn tortilla, warm, for serving

Steps:

  • Turn a gas stovetop burner to high heat. Roast the pasilla chiles, 2 at a time, directly over the flame, turning occasionally to char evenly, until the skin has brown spots all over, 6-8 minutes. (Alternatively, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss the chiles with about 1 tablespoon of oil, place on a baking sheet, and roast for about 35 minutes, or until the skin is beginning to char and pull away from the flesh.)
  • Transfer the chiles to a medium bowl and cover with a plate. Steam for 30 minutes.
  • Once the chiles have steamed, use gloves to peel off the charred skin. Use a paring knife or kitchen shears to cut a vertical opening in each pepper, being careful not to cut all the way through. Gently remove the seeds.
  • Stuff each chile with the queso fresco.
  • Add enough vegetable oil to a large pot to just cover the bottom. Turn the heat to medium-high and add the peppers to the pot in a single layer with the opening face up. When the oil is hot and the peppers begin to sizzle, add the Mexican sour cream, milk, and any remaining queso fresco. Bring the cream sauce to a boil, occasionally moving the chiles around but not turning them all the way over.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 8-10 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with the pepper and salt.
  • Serve immediately with warm corn tortillas alongside.
  • Enjoy!
