CHILES TOREADOS

This is one of my hubby's favorite accompaniments with a meal at Acapulco's in Norwood, MA. I don't even think it's on the menu, but he's friends with the owner and a lot of the staff, so they make him all kinds of stuff that isn't on the menu. Silly-simple, but really good if you enjoy hot peppers. I'm posting this partly for safekeeping, partly because DH gets a kick out of me having recipes for pretty much everything he can think of!

Time 20m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 -16 hot peppers (either serranos or jalapenos are best)
vegetable oil (for rubbing chilis)
coarse salt (to taste)
lime wedge (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat a comal, griddle, or small cast iron skillet over medium high heat (these may also be grilled outdoors, just adjust cooking time accordingly for more intense heat).
  • Slightly flatten whole chiles (the side of a large knife or cleaver works well). Rub each chile with a thin coat of oil, then roast them on the preheated pan for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until they begin to blister and char (turning occasionally).
  • Remove roasted chiles to a serving dish. Sprinkle with coarse salt to taste, and squeeze lime wedges over chiles (if using).
  • Serve as a bar snack, or as an accompaniment to grilled meats.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chiles: Select chiles that are firm, plump, and have a deep color. Avoid any chiles that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Roast the chiles properly: To get the best flavor and texture, roast the chiles until they are slightly charred and blistered. You can roast them over an open flame, on a grill, or in a hot oven.
  • Handle the chiles carefully: Once the chiles are roasted, they will be very hot. Use tongs or gloves to handle them to avoid burning your hands.
  • Remove the stems and seeds: Once the chiles are cool enough to handle, remove the stems and seeds. This will help to reduce the heat level of the chiles.
  • Marinate the chiles: Marinating the chiles in a mixture of lime juice, soy sauce, and other seasonings will help to enhance their flavor and make them more tender.
  • Serve the chiles immediately: Chiles toreados are best served immediately after they are made. They can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course.

Conclusion:

Chiles toreados are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are a great way to add a little heat and flavor to your next meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you're looking for something new and exciting to try, give chiles toreados a try. You won't be disappointed!
