Provided by Morgan

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 large poblano peppers, split and seeded (you can cut them in half or split them like Chiles Rellenos, like I do.)
1 small red onion, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound raw Mexican-style chorizo, removed from casings
1 cup cooked rice
1 medium roma tomato, diced
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp of cumin
1/3 cup sour cream
1/2 cup Jack cheese, shredded
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
¼ cup cotija cheese, grated
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Spray a rimmed baking sheet lightly with nonstick spray and place the poblanos on. Roast them in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes, or until the skin of the pepper becomes bubbly.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the chorizo for about 5 minutes, gently breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Stir in the onions and garlic. Cook for 2-3 more minutes. Then add the tomato paste, oregano, and cumin. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add rice, tomatoes, sour cream, cilantro, and cotija cheese to the bowl with the meat mixture and mix until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • You may or may not want to remove the loose skin from the peppers. It's a matter of preference. Gently spoon the mixture into the cavities of the split poblanos and top with the remaining cheese.
  • Finish the peppers off on the grill by lighting the opposite side of the grill and covering until the cheese has melted, or in the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.

Chorizo and Brown Rice Stuffed Poblano Peppers image

Chorizo and Brown Rice Stuffed Poblano Peppers are spicy, comforting and a great make-ahead meal for a festive late-fall family dinner or for casual entertaining.

Provided by By: Carol | From A Chef's Kitchen

Categories     Pork

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

9 large Poblano peppers (or 14 small to medium)
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium onion (finely chopped)
1 pound fresh chorizo sausage (casings removed if in casings)
7 cloves garlic (minced, divided)
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder (hot or mild)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons dried Mexican oregano
1 can (28-ounce) tomato sauce (plus 1/2 cup water to rinse out the can)
1 tablespoon brown sugar (or as needed (packed))
1 cup cooked brown rice
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese (divided)
1 large egg
oil or cooking spray for pan

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler to high. Place peppers on a large rimmed baking sheet and place under the broiler (approximately 6 inches from the element). Roast the peppers until blackened and blistered, turning once after approximately 7-8 minutes. Roast another 4-5 minutes. (If not totally charred, don't worry as you want some texture left.)
  • Immediately cover with another rimmed baking sheet, aluminum foil or place in a covered container and let cool.
  • Peel as much of the skin away as you can. Carefully cut each pepper on one side from tip to stem and remove the seeds. Set aside until needed.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, reduce heat to medium and cook the onion until beginning to soften, approximately 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Add the chorizo, breaking it up into small pieces and brown it until no longer raw. Add half the garlic and cook another 1-2 minutes. Transfer chorizo mixture to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve fat in the pan and reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Combine remaining garlic, chili powder, cumin, coriander and oregano in the pan. Stir over medium-low heat for approximately 30 seconds or until garlic is fragrant.
  • Add tomato sauce, water you rinsed the can out with and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook 3-4 minutes just to combine the flavors. Taste the sauce and add additional brown sugar if too acidic. Remove from heat.
  • Chop one of the Poblanos if they're large or two if they're smaller (whichever one/ones is/are the least pretty).
  • Combine the chopped Poblano, chorizo mixture, rice, 1/2 cup of the sauce, half of the cheese and the egg in a large bowl. Mix well.
  • Prepare a 13 x 9-inch baking dish by brushing it with oil or spraying with cooking spray.
  • Spread 3/4 cup of the sauce in the prepared baking dish.
  • Fill each pepper with equal amounts of the filling and place in the baking dish.
  • Pour the remaining sauce over the peppers and top with remaining cheese. Cover loosely with aluminum foil.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking another 10-12 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted and beginning to brown.

Tips:

  • Choose the right poblano peppers: Look for peppers that are dark green, firm, and have smooth skin. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Roast the poblano peppers properly: Roasting the peppers helps to bring out their flavor and make them easier to peel. To roast the peppers, place them on a baking sheet and broil them for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the skin is blistered and charred. Once roasted, place the peppers in a paper bag and let them steam for 10 minutes. This will make it easier to peel the skin off.
  • Make sure the quinoa is cooked properly: Quinoa should be cooked until it is tender and fluffy. To cook the quinoa, rinse it well and then cook it according to the package directions.
  • Use a flavorful chorizo: The chorizo is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality chorizo. Look for a chorizo that is well-seasoned and has a good smoky flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chorizo and quinoa: If you overcrowd the pan, the chorizo and quinoa will not cook evenly. Cook the chorizo and quinoa in batches if necessary.
  • Use a flavorful adobo sauce: The adobo sauce is what gives this dish its signature flavor. Look for an adobo sauce that is made with a variety of chiles and spices.
  • Serve the poblano peppers immediately: These peppers are best served hot out of the oven. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can cook them and then reheat them in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes.

Conclusion:

Chorizo quinoa stuffed poblano peppers with adobo chile tomato sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The poblano peppers are roasted until tender and then stuffed with a flavorful mixture of chorizo, quinoa, and adobo sauce. The peppers are then baked until the filling is heated through and the adobo sauce is bubbling. Serve the poblano peppers hot out of the oven with your favorite sides.
