GRILLED CHILES RELLENOS - TASTE OF HOME

Grilled Chiles Rellenos - Taste of Home image

My sister gave me the the Taste of Home - Grill it cookbook as a gift. First recipe I tried was this one, and my husband and I both loved it! Don't let the poblano peppers scare you away, these are more flavorful than hot. We follow a low carb lifestyle and this recipe fits the bill. Terrific side dish to any meat you throw on the grill. Enjoy! The cookbook says that it makes four servings, one half of a pepper is plenty if you serve it with other dishes. I makes more like 8 servings IMO.

Tips:

Choose the right chiles: Look for poblano chiles that are large, firm, and have a dark green color.
Roast the chiles properly: Roasting the chiles brings out their smoky flavor and makes them easier to peel. To roast the chiles, place them directly over a gas burner or under a broiler until the skin is blackened and blistered. Alternatively, you can roast the chiles in a preheated oven at 450°F for 15-20 minutes.
Peel the chiles carefully: Once the chiles are roasted, let them cool slightly before peeling. Use a sharp knife to carefully peel off the charred skin, taking care not to tear the flesh of the chiles.
Stuff the chiles evenly: When stuffing the chiles, be sure to distribute the filling evenly so that each chile is filled to the same level.
Cook the chiles until heated through: Cook the chiles over medium heat until they are heated through and the cheese is melted. Be careful not to overcook the chiles, or they will become tough.
