STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS



Stuffed Poblano Peppers image

Is this an accidental tribute dish for Bobby Flay or really one of my favorite new side dishes? The answer is: yes. Both are true. I started stuffing poblano peppers over the summer and found myself making the dish time and time again. Each time the recipe would change a little, grow, evolve. But the ingredients stayed basically the same. Poblanos are known for their heat, but are rarely celebrated for their glorious floral notes and great texture. This dish brings those lesser-known qualities to the forefront. This dish will blow the lid off the sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts at the holiday table. May as well get rid of the green bean casserole because this is where it's at for Christmas 2015!

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

8 ripe Roma tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons canola oil
6 medium poblano peppers, halved lengthwise, ribs and seeds completely removed
6 medium poblano peppers, halved lengthwise, ribs and seeds completely removed
12 sprigs fresh thyme
2 medium red bell peppers, seeded and finely diced
3 large cloves garlic, minced
3 medium yellow onions, finely diced
6 sprigs fresh basil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
12 ounces mozzarella, cut into 1-inch cubes
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs, toasted
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
4 to 5 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the tomato halves flesh-side up in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons of the olive oil, the confectioners' sugar, red pepper flakes and 2 teaspoons salt. Spread the mixture evenly over the tomato halves. Roast the tomatoes until tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet over high heat and add half of the canola oil. When it begins to smoke lightly, add half of the poblanos and cook to tenderize without making them mushy. Using a slotted spoon, remove the peppers to a baking sheet, cavity-side up. Repeat with the remaining poblanos and canola oil. Season with salt and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat the 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and the thyme. As the oil heats, the thyme will fry and become crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the thyme sprigs, then season with salt and cool. Add the bell peppers to the same skillet and season with salt. Cook over high heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the peppers brown slightly but are still slightly firm, 3 to 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the peppers and transfer to a medium bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet, heat until it begins to smoke lightly, and add the garlic and onions. Reduce the heat to medium. Season with salt and cook until the onions are lightly brown and tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the onions to the bell peppers.
  • Quarter the oven-dried tomatoes and add to the pepper and onion mix. Chop the basil leaves and stir into the filling along with the red wine vinegar and mozzarella. Pull the thyme leaves off the stems and add to the mixture. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan and melted butter. Stuff each pepper halfway with the filling, and then top with the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Heat the peppers in the oven to brown the tops, 10 to 12 minutes. Arrange on a platter and drizzle with the balsamic vinegar to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Poblano peppers are the traditional choice for this dish, but you can also use bell peppers or Anaheim peppers. Look for peppers that are firm and have a deep, rich color.
  • Roast the peppers properly: Roasting the peppers brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. To roast the peppers, place them on a baking sheet and broil them for about 10 minutes per side, or until the skins are blackened and blistered. Once the peppers are roasted, place them in a paper bag to steam for about 10 minutes. This will make the peppers easier to peel.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Use fresh, ripe tomatoes, onions, and garlic. Ground beef that is at least 80% lean is also a good choice.
  • Don't overcook the filling: The filling should be cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked filling will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the peppers immediately: Stuffed peppers are best served immediately after they are made. This will prevent the peppers from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Mexican Stuffed Poblano Peppers is a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The peppers are stuffed with a flavorful mixture of ground beef, rice, tomatoes, onions, and garlic, and then topped with a creamy tomatillo sauce. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
