Time 1h10m

Yield 12 stuffed chiles

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 tablespoons cooking oil
2 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion or 2 green onions, chopped
1/2 clove garlic, chopped
1 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups cooking oil
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 large onion, chopped
1/2 garlic clove
Half a 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes
Pinch cumin
12 poblano chiles
Shredded white cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • For the filling: Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Next add the onions and garlic; stir for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, cumin and 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the filling is dry, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Scrape the skin off the poblanos. Carefully make a lengthwise slit in each poblano and remove the seeds and membranes; rinse and drain well, using paper towels to pat the poblanos dry.
  • Stuff the poblanos with the filling and top with salsa ranchero. Before serving, garnish with shredded cheese and cilantro.

The heat and richness of this voluptuous dish is complemented by a mildly tangy tomato sauce. Choose the straightest chiles-they are easier to peel and stuff.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

For chiles:
4 large fresh poblano chiles (1 pound)
1/2 pound Monterey Jack cheese, coarsely grated (2 1/2 cups)
For sauce:
1 1/2 pounds tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 cup water
1/4 cup chopped white onion
2 large garlic cloves
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano (preferably Mexican)
2 tablespoons corn oil or other vegetable oil
For frying the chiles and serving:
2 to 3 cups corn oil or other vegetable oil
4 large eggs, separated
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Accompaniment: white rice
Special Equipment
a deep-fat thermometer

Steps:

  • Roast chiles:
  • Roast chiles on their sides on racks of gas burners (1 or 2 per burner) over medium-high heat, turning with tongs, until skins are blistered and slightly charred, 4 to 6 minutes. (Or broil on rack of a broiler pan about 2 inches from heat.) Immediately transfer to a large bowl and cover, then let stand 20 minutes.
  • Make tomato sauce while chiles stand:
  • Purée all sauce ingredients except oil with 11/4 teaspoons salt in a blender until smooth, then strain through a medium-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids, then discarding them.
  • Heat oil in a deep 12-inch heavy skillet or heatproof casserole (preferably one that can go to the table) over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Carefully pour in sauce and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes (sauce should still be thin). Season with salt.
  • Stuff and fry chiles:
  • Carefully rub off skins from chiles, leaving stems attached. Cut a slit lengthwise in each chile with kitchen shears, then carefully cut out seedpod (including attached ribs) without tearing chile (hotter chiles smell stronger when cut). Wipe chiles clean with a paper towel if necessary.
  • Stuff chiles with cheese and enclose filling by overlapping slit slightly if possible, then transfer to a plate. (Use a toothpick to mark any hotter chiles if desired.)
  • Heat 1/2 inch oil in another 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it registers 360°F on thermometer.
  • While oil heats, beat egg whites with 1/8 teaspoon salt using an electric mixer until they just hold stiff peaks. Whisk yolks with 1/8 teaspoon salt in a large bowl, then gently fold in whites.
  • Put flour in a fine-mesh sieve and dust chiles, turning them to lightly coat all sides.
  • When oil is ready, dip chiles, 1 at a time (hold chile by stem), in egg coating, spooning it over chile to cover completely, then fry, turning once, until golden on all sides (lap oil over any lighter areas), 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer chiles with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
  • Meanwhile, reheat sauce over low heat. Lay chiles in sauce to serve.

CLASSIC CHILI POBLANO RELLENOS



Classic Chili Poblano Rellenos image

I love chili rellenos and with poblano chilies, they are super good! I hope you enjoy this classic recipe, using poblano chilies! This chile pepper is often mislabeled 'Pasilla', which is a different pepper entirely.It is one of the most popular chiles in Mexico and has won the appreciation of many a chef worldwide because of the superior flavor it has over regular bell peppers. They have a tough outer skin that usually requires roasting and peeling before use. These very large chile peppers are most popular in chiles rellenos recipes, but cooking with these as a substitute for bell peppers in any recipe will enhance the flavor.

CHILES POBLANOS RELLENOS A LA MEJICANA (MEXICAN STUFFED POBLANO



Chiles Poblanos Rellenos a La Mejicana (Mexican Stuffed Poblano image

Authentic chile rellenos are not battered in flour or cornmeal. The only thing that they are dipped in is eggs. I know this because I have watched real mexican cooks make these in guadalajara mexico. They are a bit tiddious to make but I asure you that the outcome will be well worth it. I do not mind the work that goes into it becuase I enjoy the wonderful impression on my guests faces when they take a bite of this authentic dish. You should serve sauce over them as there really is not a chille relleno with out a sauce (you can look up multipurpose tomato sauce for my particular recipe). You can use toothpicks to help keep the chilles closed during frying but make sure to remove them after cooking. A rule of thumb that I use is that I use 1 egg as batter per chile, for example: 6 eggs for 6 chiles. Also make sure to drain fried chiles very well on a paper towel. When buying poblano peppers, try to find wide peppers. Usually these are easier to handle when frying. It is better to buy cheese that you can slice and not shredd as it is easier to stuff and it holds it shape better.

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped white onion
3 cloves diced garlic cloves
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon
6 poblano peppers (wide and long)
12 monterrey jack cheese slices (cut from block cheese about 2 in long and 1/2 in wide, basically the length and width of the top par)
6 eggs, seperated
oil (for deep frying, about half a bottle of oil)

Slice a small slit on side of chile and gently remove stem, membranes and seeds with your fingers. If too many seeds are left, try putting small opening of chile under soft running water for remaining seeds to wash out and dry with towel.
  • In a clean bowl and with clean beaters, beat egg whites until foamy peaks form. About 5-7 minute Set aside. In another bowl, beat egg yolks until thick and yellow, about 4-6 minute Set aside.
  • Fill large frying pan with oil to about 3/4 way up of pan. Heat on medium high heat. IMPORTANT to make sure oil is hot enough to cook before placing peppers. Test oil by placing tiny amount of egg white in oil and waiting to hear if it immidietly sizzles.
  • Assemlble your work station: Beginning with meat, then chiles, then cheese, then egg yolks, then egg whites and finnally ending at the hot oil.
  • Stuff chiles with meat first (do not overstuff) with about 2 table spoons of meat, depending on size of chiles. Then place 2 slices of cheese lenghwise in the chiles. Try to keep chile opening closed (you can secure with 2 toothpicks).

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:

  • Choosing the Right Chiles: Opt for poblano chiles that are firm, deep green in color, and have smooth skin. Avoid any chiles with blemishes or signs of bruising.
  • Roasting the Chiles: To achieve a smoky flavor and tender texture, roast the poblano chiles directly over an open flame or under a broiler. This step enhances the chiles' natural flavors and makes them easier to peel.
  • Removing the Seeds and Veins: After roasting, carefully remove the charred skin from the chiles. Use a sharp knife to make a slit down the center of each chile and remove the seeds and veins. This step prevents the filling from becoming bitter.
  • Preparing the Filling: Ensure your cheese mixture is well-blended and creamy. Use a combination of cheeses that melt smoothly, such as queso Oaxaca, queso fresco, and cream cheese. Add spices, herbs, and vegetables to your preference to enhance the flavor of the filling.
  • Stuffing the Chiles: Fill the roasted poblano chiles evenly with the prepared cheese mixture. Be careful not to overstuff them, as this can cause the chiles to burst during cooking.
  • Baking or Frying: Depending on the recipe, you can either bake or fry the stuffed poblano chiles. Baking results in a tender and slightly crisp texture, while frying creates a golden brown and crispy exterior.
