CHILES RELLENOS



Chiles Rellenos image

Chiles are a must where I live. I find they almost always improve a recipe that uses cheese. Sometimes I make this into a heartier main dish by adding shredded cooked chicken after the chile layer. It really tastes good! -Irene Martin, Portales, New Mexico

CHILE RELLENO QUICHE #BRUNCHWEEK



Chile Relleno Quiche #BrunchWeek image

This Chile Relleno Quiche with roasted poblanos, cheese and bacon is perfect for brunch, lunch or dinner.

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 poblano peppers
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
6 ounces of pancetta diced (or you can use bacon)
1/2 a medium vidalia onion, diced
1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon of Mexican oregano
3 eggs
1/2 cup of milk
1/3 cup of sour cream
1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon of freshly cracked black peppe

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Lightly coat the poblano peppers with the olive oil.
  • Broil for 7 - 10 minutes per side.
  • When the poblanos are sufficiently blackened, add to a ziplock bag, seal and let steam for 15 minutes while you work on the crust.
  • Reduce the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Spray a tart pan with a removable base with nonstick spray (or lightly butter and flour) and set aside.
  • Roll out the puff pastry so that it covers a tart pan.
  • Press into the sides so there is some extra should it shrink a bit in the oven.
  • Lightly dock the bottom and line with two pieces of foil. Add a thin layer of beans or rice to keep it held down a bit.
  • Place on a baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes, remove the foil and bake for another 4 minutes or so until lightly browned.
  • Let cool while you make the filling.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  • Saute the pancetta in a non-stick saute pan.
  • Remove the pancetta to a paper lined plate and add the onions to the pancetta fat (there should be about 2 tablespoons. If there is extra, remove that so that only 2 tablespoons remain in the pan).
  • Saute the onions until translucent.
  • Add the smoked paprika and Mexican oregano and saute for another minute until the spices bloom.
  • Remove to a bowl and set aside.
  • By this time, the poblanos should be fully steamed.
  • Remove from the plastic bag and, using a paper towel, remove the charred skin from the poblanos. Also remove the stem, seeds and ribs.
  • Dice the roasted poblanos and add to the spiced onion mixture.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream and half of the cheddar cheese.
  • Season with the salt and pepper.
  • By now, the crust should be cool. Sprinkle the pancetta over the base, followed by the onion/poblano mixture.
  • Pour in the custard and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
  • Bake for 25 - 35 minutes until the crust is browned and the custard is set.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes and lightly run your knife along the side of the tart pan.
  • Carefully separate the tart from the sides of the tart pan and place on a serving platter.
  • Enjoy!

CHILES RELLENOS



Chiles Rellenos image

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 poblano chile peppers
5 plum tomatoes, cored and coarsely chopped
1/2 small white onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
1 tablespoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican
3 large egg whites plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
Vegetable oil, for frying
All-purpose flour, for dredging

Steps:

  • Char the chiles.
  • Turn a gas burner on high. Char the chiles on the burner grate, turning with tongs (Marcela is a pro and uses her hands!), until blackened all over. Or char the chiles under the broiler.
  • Let them soften.
  • Transfer the charred chiles to a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag and close. Let stand 10 minutes. The chiles will steam in the bag, making them soft and easy to peel.
  • Remove the skin.
  • Gently rub the chiles with paper towels to remove as much skin as possible. It's okay if a few flecks remain-they'll add flavor, so don't rinse them off.
  • Open the chiles.
  • Using a paring knife, make a slit across the top of a chile just below the stem, leaving the stem intact. Starting from the middle of the slit, slice lengthwise down to the tip of the pepper (cut through only one layer). Open the chile like a book and pull out the seeds and inner membranes. You may need to use a paring knife to loosen the top of the seedpod. Repeat with the remaining chiles.
  • Prepare the sauce.
  • Puree the tomatoes, onion and garlic in a blender until smooth. Warm the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the tomato puree and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally; the sauce will be broth-y. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
  • Make the filling.
  • Place the cheese in a bowl, then add the oregano, crumbling and rubbing it with your fingers to release its flavor. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
  • Stuff the chiles.
  • Fill each chile with about 1/4 cup cheese mixture. Fold in the sides to cover the filling, then thread 2 toothpicks across the seam to form an X. You will probably need to make a second toothpick X to secure each chile so the filling doesn't leak out when you fry.
  • Mix the batter.
  • Beat the egg whites with a mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Add the egg yolk and beat 3 more minutes.
  • Batter and fry.
  • Heat about 1 inch vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
  • Dredge: Pour flour into a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. One at a time, coat the stuffed chiles with the flour.
  • Batter: Holding each chile by the stem, lower it into the egg batter to cover completely. Let any excess batter drip off.
  • Fry: Add the chiles to the hot oil, 1 or 2 at a time; fry, flipping once with tongs, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  • Eat!
  • Place a fried chile on each plate and pour the warm sauce over it. Serve immediately.

CHILIES RELLENOS CASSEROLE



Chilies Rellenos Casserole image

I found 9 RZ recipes for this type dish, but none at all like it & it sounds so good to me! I found it in the "Tasty Holiday Gifts" cookbook SusieQusie spotted at a bookstore in Dallas recently. From their intro: "This spicy Chilies Rellenos Casserole is a great new way to serve eggs at Easter & it's easy to reheat for a delicious brunch dish! The quiche-like casserole features a "crust" of green chilies + a cheesy egg filling & is served w/sour cream & salsa." Since this is a meatless dish, I see spicy grd pork patties as a good side or even some yummy & well-cooked chorizo sausage as a good add to the dish. I would personally make this yr-round if I could, but I rarely see green chilies here & may have to wait for another visit to SQ in Dallas to enjoy it. (Times were not given & have been estimated)

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

Crust
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup blue cornmeal* or yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4 tablespoons (about) ice water
Filling
3 large fresh poblano** or New Mexico chilies
1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

*Blue cornmeal is available at natural foods stores and some specialty foods stores.

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Combine 1 cup flour, 3/4 cup cornmeal and 1 teaspoon salt in processor. Add butter and cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal.

  • For filling:
  • Char chilies over gas flame or under broiler until blackened on all sides. Seal in paper bag and let stand 10 minutes. Peel, seed and chop chilies.

CHILES RELLENOS RECIPE BY TASTY



Chiles Rellenos Recipe by Tasty image

In this recipe, fresh pasilla chiles are roasted over an open flame and stuffed with queso fresco, then stewed in a rich, creamy white sauce for a decadent take on a classic Mexican dish.

Provided by Juliana Fregoso

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h3m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 fresh pasilla chiles
32 oz queso fresco, crumbled
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more as needed
2 jars mexican sour cream
1 cup whole milk
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
corn tortilla, warm, for serving

Steps:

  • Turn a gas stovetop burner to high heat. Roast the pasilla chiles, 2 at a time, directly over the flame, turning occasionally to char evenly, until the skin has brown spots all over, 6-8 minutes. (Alternatively, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss the chiles with about 1 tablespoon of oil, place on a baking sheet, and roast for about 35 minutes, or until the skin is beginning to char and pull away from the flesh.)
  • Transfer the chiles to a medium bowl and cover with a plate. Steam for 30 minutes.
  • Once the chiles have steamed, use gloves to peel off the charred skin. Use a paring knife or kitchen shears to cut a vertical opening in each pepper, being careful not to cut all the way through. Gently remove the seeds.
  • Stuff each chile with the queso fresco.
  • Add enough vegetable oil to a large pot to just cover the bottom. Turn the heat to medium-high and add the peppers to the pot in a single layer with the opening face up. When the oil is hot and the peppers begin to sizzle, add the Mexican sour cream, milk, and any remaining queso fresco. Bring the cream sauce to a boil, occasionally moving the chiles around but not turning them all the way over.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 8-10 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with the pepper and salt.
  • Serve immediately with warm corn tortillas alongside.
  • Enjoy!

CHORIZO CHILE RELLENO CASSEROLE



Chorizo Chile Relleno Casserole image

Captures the taste of Chile Rellenos without the hassle involved. Spicy enough to be interesting but not "hot" at all. I use just a sprinkle of cayenne, no Tabasco. The seasoning comes from the Chorizo.

Provided by CalicoCandy

Categories     Pork

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb chorizo sausage (spicy Mexican sausage)
1 cup chopped onion
3 garlic cloves, crushed, minced, to taste
2 (4 ounce) cans whole mild green chilies, drained & seeds removed
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or 2 cups Mexican blend cheese, divided
4 eggs
1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 dash Tabasco sauce or 1 dash cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, brown sausage and ground beef, breaking up meat as it cooks.
  • Add onion and garlic; cook until onion is tender.
  • Drain well, as chorizo is quite greasy.
  • Cut the chilies into strips length-wise.
  • Line a 9x9" square baking dish with half of the chilies; top with 1 1/2 cups of cheese.
  • Add browned meat mixture then top with remaining chilies; set aside.
  • Beat together eggs and flour until smooth; add milk, salt, and Tabasco or cayenne pepper.
  • Pour egg mixture over casserole.
  • Bake, uncovered, in a 350F oven for about 35 to 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted around the center comes out clean.
  • Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of cheese over the top of the hot casserole.
  • Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • To make the poblano peppers more digestible, roast them over an open flame or under a broiler until the skin is blackened. Then place them in a paper bag for 15 minutes to steam. Once cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skin and remove the seeds and ribs.
  • To prevent the quiche from becoming watery, make sure to drain the poblano peppers thoroughly after roasting and before adding them to the filling.
  • For a richer flavor, use a combination of Mexican cheeses, such as Oaxaca, Chihuahua, and queso fresco.
  • If you don't have a quiche pan, you can use a regular 9-inch pie plate. Just be sure to trim the edges of the puff pastry so that it fits inside the plate.
  • To make sure the quiche is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the quiche is done.

Conclusion:

This Chile Rellenos Quiche is a delicious and unique dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its creamy filling, flavorful poblano peppers, and crispy puff pastry crust, this quiche is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
