4 medium fresh poblano peppers
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced

1 pound lean ground beef
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and ground black pepper to taste

STUFFED POBLANO CHILES ("CHILES RELLENOS")



Stuffed Poblano Chiles (

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 red plum tomatoes, cored and coarsely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/3 cup chopped white onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups Monterrey Jack cheese
1 tablespoon dried oregano
6 poblano chiles, charred, seeded, and deveined *see Cook's Note
3 egg whites, at room temperature
1 egg yolk, at room temperature
All-purpose flour, for dredging
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Sauce: Put the tomatoes, garlic and onion in a blender. Blend until smooth. In a medium saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the sauce and simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Chile rellenos: Mix the cheese and oregano in a small bowl. Cut a slit through 1 side of the charred chiles and fill each chile with 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture. Close with toothpicks to hold the filling in place. In a medium bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. Add the egg yolk and continue to beat for about 1 minute.
  • In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour in enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 375 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer a cube of bread will brown in about 3 minutes.) Dredge the filled chiles in flour until fully covered. Shake off any excess flour, then dip the chiles into the egg mixture, until well coated. Fry until golden brown and drain on paper towels.
  • Arrange the chiles on a serving platter, spoon the sauce on top and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right poblano peppers: Look for peppers that are large and have a deep green color. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Roast the poblano peppers properly: Roasting the peppers will help 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 blackened. Once the peppers are roasted, place them in a paper bag and let them steam for 10 minutes. This will make it easier to peel the peppers.
  • Use a variety of fillings: The possibilities for fillings are endless. Some popular options include rice, beans, cheese, meat, and vegetables. Get creative and experiment with different flavors and textures.
  • Season the filling well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of seasonings in your filling. This will help to give the stuffed poblanos a delicious flavor.
  • Cook the stuffed poblanos until they are heated through: The stuffed poblanos should be cooked until the filling is hot and bubbly. This will ensure that the peppers are cooked through and that the filling is safe to eat.

Conclusion:

Stuffed poblanos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a stuffed poblano recipe that everyone will love.
