Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of coarse salt
3/4 cup lager beer
8 poblano chiles
4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, cut into eight 3-inch-long sticks
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic (from 2 garlic cloves)
2 cups corn kernels (from 2 to 3 ears)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Safflower oil, for frying
Sour cream, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and beer in a bowl. Refrigerate batter 1 hour (it will puff while chilling).
  • Place chiles directly over the flame of gas-stove burners on high heat. Roast, turning with tongs, until skins are charred and blistered. (Alternatively, broil chiles on a baking sheet, turning often, until skin is charred, taking care not to overcook. Otherwise, they will be difficult to peel, and flesh may be too soft to stuff.) When chiles are cool enough to handle, slip skins off.
  • Leaving stem intact, cut a slit into the side of each chile. Remove seedpod, then insert a stick of cheese.
  • Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; saute until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add corn; saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon 1/4 cup of corn mixture into each chile, and close up with a toothpick.
  • Heat 1 inch oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Dip chiles in batter, and fry in batches (do not crowd skillet) until golden, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with sour cream and lime wedges.

The filling in each of these mellow peppers is a mix of tang and sweetness -- poached chicken, nips of goat cheese, sauteed corn, and a green salsa spiked with lime.

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 fresh poblano chiles
8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast
2 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
5 small tomatillos (about 7 ounces), husks removed
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro, plus sprigs for garnish
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 to 2 limes)
1 3/4 teaspoons coarse salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 5 ears of corn)
2 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled
Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Roast poblanos directly over the flame of a gas-stove burner or under a broiler, turning often with tongs, until charred on all sides. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand for 15 minutes. When cool enough to handle, rub with a paper towel to remove skins, being careful not to tear flesh. Cut a slit down the side of each poblano from stem to tip. Remove seeds, leaving stem intact.
  • Meanwhile, place chicken and garlic in a saucepan, and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, and simmer until chicken has cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a large bowl, reserving cooking liquid and garlic. Cover chicken loosely with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. Let cool slightly, then shred it into 1/2-inch pieces, and cover.
  • Add tomatillos to reserved cooking liquid. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, and puree tomatillos and garlic in a blender. Add cilantro, lime juice, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and puree. Spread half the sauce in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add corn, and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Let cool slightly. Toss corn with chicken, remaining sauce, half the goat cheese, and the pepper. Mound 1/2 cup mixture into each poblano. Place in prepared dish, dot with remaining goat cheese, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover, and bake until heated through, about 25 minutes. Uncover, and let stand 5 minutes. Drizzle with sauce from dish, and garnish with cilantro sprigs.

Tips:

  • For a smokier flavor, roast the poblano chiles directly over an open flame or under a broiler until the skins are blistered and blackened. Then, place the chiles in a paper bag and let them steam for 10 minutes before peeling and seeding them.
  • If you don't have fresh corn on the cob, you can use frozen corn kernels. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
  • To make the corn mixture more flavorful, add a tablespoon of chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, a teaspoon of chili powder, or a pinch of cumin.
  • If you don't have queso fresco cheese, you can substitute another type of mild, fresh cheese, such as mozzarella or Monterey Jack.
  • To make the chiles ahead of time, stuff them with the corn mixture and then refrigerate them for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to cook them, simply bake them in a preheated oven until they are heated through.

Conclusion:

Corn-stuffed poblano chiles are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
