CHILES RELLENOS

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
1 to 2 teaspoons green chile hot sauce
Zest and juice of 1 lime
Kosher salt
12 ounces Mexican-style raw chorizo, removed from casing
1 small yellow onion, diced
4 large poblano chiles, stems intact
One 10-ounce ball Oaxaca cheese, hand shredded or pulled into 2-inch pieces
1 cup canola oil
4 large eggs, separated
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
One 7-ounce box yellow rice mix, optional, cooked according to package instructions

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack directly underneath the broiler and preheat the broiler.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the Mexican crema, hot sauce, lime zest and juice and salt to taste; stir to combine. Set aside to let the flavors meld together.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chorizo and onions, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside until ready to stuff the roasted poblanos.
  • Place the poblanos on a baking sheet and broil, turning once, until the skin is blistered and blackened, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Put the charred poblanos in a medium heatproof bowl, then cover with plastic wrap and let steam for 10 minutes. Peel and rub away the skins of the poblanos, then gently dry using a paper towel. Cut a 2-inch lengthwise slit in the center of each poblano and carefully cut out the seeds with kitchen shears, leaving the stems intact.
  • Stuff each poblano with the chorizo and cheese, dividing evenly. Gently close the opening using 2 to 3 toothpicks to keep the filling from falling out.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 375 degrees F. Position a wire rack on a baking sheet.
  • Meanwhile, add the egg whites to a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat until medium peaks form. With the mixer on low, add the egg yolks and 1 tablespoon flour and mix until completely incorporated. The batter should be smooth and fluffy.
  • Sprinkle the poblanos with salt, then dredge in the remaining 1/2 cup flour, tapping to shake off any excess; dip into the batter until fully coated. Gently add the poblano to the hot oil and fry in batches to not overcrowd the skillet. Cook until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to the wire rack to drain. Serve warm on a platter and drizzle with the spicy lime crema and a side of yellow rice, if using.

CHILES RELLENOS

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.

CHILES RELLENOS



Chiles Rellenos image

This recipe for chiles rellenos comes from Andrea Serrato, who sells an exquisite version of the dish out of her home in East Los Angeles. Ms. Serrato learned to make it from her mother, Rose Serrato, who fills big chile poblanos simply with queso ranchero, fries them in a cloudlike batter and simmers them in a garlicky salsa roja. Be sure to take your time charring the chiles on the flame to make sure they get evenly tender. The dish is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but extremely worthwhile - delicious, comforting and beautiful, too.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 chiles

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 serrano chiles, stems removed
6 beefsteak tomatoes (about 4 pounds)
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as grapeseed or canola
1 white onion, peeled and sliced into thin rings
6 large, firm poblano chiles (about 1 3/4 pounds)
12 ounces queso fresco or low-moisture melting cheese, such as mozzarella
5 large eggs, yolks and whites separated
Canola oil, for frying
2 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Prepare the tomato salsa: Put a large pot of water on to boil. When the water starts to bubble, add the serrano chiles and whole tomatoes, and turn down the heat. After 10 minutes of low simmering, strain.
  • Add the serranos, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt to a blender with 1/2 cup water, and purée until smooth. Add the tomatoes, then purée until almost totally smooth. (Some larger pieces of tomato are fine, and give the salsa texture.)
  • In a large saucepan that will hold all of the salsa, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook until soft and slightly golden on the edges, about 5 minutes, then add the salsa and turn off the heat.
  • Prepare the chiles: Using tongs, char two poblanos at a time over the open gas flame (or all six under your broiler, turning them often). The chiles should be blackened all over, and tender to the touch, which takes about 10 minutes. As you finish them, put them on a plate and cover for about 10 minutes.
  • Use your finger to gently push and peel away the blackened outer skin of the charred chile. Remove as much as you can, but it's OK if a few small pieces are left; don't worry about it. Use a knife to slice each chile lengthwise, leaving an inch or so on each end, and remove the seeds (again, it's OK if some remain). Fill the chiles with cheese to fit, but make sure the chile can still close along its seam when you pinch it shut.
  • Prepare the batter: Separate the eggs, and beat the whites with a whisk attachment until thick and frothy, like meringue. Add the yolks, and beat for another minute, just to incorporate.
  • Fry the chiles: In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, heat about 3 inches of oil over medium until a small drop of batter sizzles vigorously when you add it to the oil. Put the flour on a plate, and roll a chile in the flour so it's completely covered. Push it down into the batter, turn it around gently, and use the stem to pull it out - it will look like a vaguely chile-shaped cloud.
  • Gently lay the chile down in the hot oil, seam side up. The chile should immediately start to sizzle and lightly color. Spoon hot oil over any exposed parts of the chile, cooking for about 2 minutes, or until the top of the chile is evenly golden brown, then remove and place on a paper-towel-lined rack to drain. Repeat with each chile.
  • When you're ready to sit down and eat, heat the salsa over medium, and season it to taste with salt. Place the fried chiles in the pan. (Work in batches if you have to, so the chiles aren't crowded.) Let them simmer gently for a few minutes, then serve immediately with extra salsa spooned over the top.

DIANA DáVILA'S CHILES RELLENOS



Diana Dávila's Chiles Rellenos image

In her singular take on chiles rellenos, Diana Dávila crosses two classic Mexican preparations of the dish - chiles rellenos ahogados and chiles en nogada - to come up with her own remarkable variation. Roasted, peeled poblanos are stuffed with a ground meat picadillo spiked with apples, raisins, cider vinegar and brown sugar, then dunked in a feathery egg batter and fried until golden. Just before serving, those stuffed, fried chiles are bathed in a brothy tomato sauce lightened with carrot juice. It does take time to put all the elements together, but you won't regret a minute of it when you taste what might be the best chiles rellenos you've ever had: complex, sweet and spicy, and deeply brawny. At Mi Tocaya Antojería, her restaurant in Chicago, Ms. Dávila uses a combination of chopped duck confit and ground pork for the picadillo. But using all ground pork works equally well.

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

10 plum tomatoes, diced
3 pints cherry tomatoes, preferably a mix of colors, halved
2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
1/4 cup sunflower or grapeseed oil
1 large white onion, diced
10 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 to 3 Serrano chiles, thinly sliced
2 cups carrot juice
1 cup chicken stock, preferably homemade
2 tablespoons duck fat or sunflower oil
1/2 large white onion, diced
1 small Granny Smith apple, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 cup raisins
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 pound ground pork (or use a combination of ground pork and chopped duck confit)
1/8 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
8 poblano chiles
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 egg yolks, lightly beaten
6 egg whites
Fine sea salt, as needed
Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
Epazote, for serving (optional)
Chopped cilantro, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare the sauce: In a large bowl, toss plum and cherry tomatoes with 1 teaspoon salt. Use your hands to smush the tomatoes until their skins soften and break apart, then let sit for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in large pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, sliced chiles and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened but not browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and their liquid, bring to a simmer, and continue to simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Stir in carrot juice, stock and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and simmer for another 20 minutes. The sauce should be thin and brothy. Use an immersion blender (or transfer mixture to a regular blender) and blend briefly; the mixture should still be somewhat chunky. Taste and season with more salt if necessary. (Sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead.)
  • Make the filling: In a large skillet, heat the duck fat or oil over medium heat. Add the onion, apple, garlic and salt, and cook, stirring, until the apples and onions soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in raisins, vinegar and brown sugar, and cook until reduced to a glaze, about 4 minutes.
  • Stir in pork and red-pepper flakes, and use a metal spoon to break up the pork into pieces. Cook until pork is no longer pink and much of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Raise the heat and let the pork take on a little color at the edges, 5 to 10 minutes longer. Remove from heat. (Filling can be made up to 3 days ahead.)
  • Roast the poblanos: Heat the broiler, and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Arrange poblanos in an even layer, and broil until blackened on one side, 4 to 6 minutes. Turn over and blacken the other side, another 4 to 6 minutes, then transfer to a large heat-proof bowl. Cover and let steam until softened, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Peel the blackened skin off the poblanos, then cut a slit in one side of each pepper and remove seeds (keep the stems). Using paper towels to wipe away the skins and slippery seeds can help with this task.
  • Stuff the poblanos with the filling, folding poblano seams together. Place flour on a plate, and gently roll stuffed peppers in flour to coat. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and freeze for 20 to 30 minutes. (Freezing is optional, but this will make them easier to fry.)
  • Make the batter: Place egg yolks in a large bowl and beat until frothy. Place egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer and whip to stiff peaks. Fold the egg yolks into the whites, along with a pinch of salt.
  • Heat 1 1/4 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat (it's hot enough when a drop of batter sizzles in the oil). When hot, dip one pepper by its stem into egg batter, then transfer to hot oil. Fry until golden on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining peppers, making sure not to crowd the pan. Transfer fried peppers as they cook to a wire rack placed over a rimmed baking sheet, and immediately sprinkle with salt.
  • When all the peppers are fried, reheat sauce. Lower peppers into sauce and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, so the batter absorbs the sauce. Transfer to serving plates and spoon more sauce on top. Sprinkle with epazote, if using, and cilantro.

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!

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Look for poblano peppers that are large, firm, and have a deep green color. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have blemishes.

  • Use fresh ingredients: The best chiles rellenos are made with fresh ingredients. This includes the peppers, the filling, and the sauce.
  • Don't overcook the chiles rellenos: The chiles rellenos should be cooked until they are heated through, but be careful not to overcook them or they will become tough.
