AUTHENTIC CHILE RELLENO RECIPE



Authentic Chile Relleno Recipe image

This Authentic Chile Relleno Recipe takes you step-by-step on how to make this traditional Mexican dish of poblano peppers stuffed with cheese, dipped in egg batter and lightly fried. Serve with frijoles de olla, a crisp salad, and salsa ranchera-Ugh, so good!

Provided by Kate Ramos

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 large poblano peppers
10 ounces Queso Oaxaca or Monterey Jack or Mozzarella cheese, shredded (you should have about 4 cups shredded cheese)
6-12 fresh epazote leaves (optional)
4 eggs, separated
1 cup neutral oil like avocado oil, grapeseed oil or vegetable oil
1/2 cup all purpose flour
Kosher salt, for seasoning
4 large ripe tomatoes, cored
1/2 white onion
2 garlic cloves, unpeeled
2 serrano peppers
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon fresh Mexican oregano or 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano or Mediterranean oregano
1 cup water
2 tablespoons neutral oil (whatever you use to fry the chiles is fine)

Steps:

  • Char the poblanos: Char the peppers over the open flame of your gas stove, turning occasionally until all sides are blackened. Transfer to a heat proof bowl, cover and let cool to room temperature. If you don't have a gas stove you can also do this on a grill or under the broiler.
  • Make the Salsa Ranchera: Turn the broiler to high and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place tomatoes, onion, garlic, and serranos on the baking sheet and place under the broiler. Check every 2-3 minutes and turn the vegetables so the blacken on all sides. The garlic will cook much faster than the other vegetables. Remove each ingredient as it is done cooking. This should take anywhere from 9-15 minutes.
  • Blend the salsa ingredients. Remove the skin from the garlic and the stem and skin from the serranos. If you are sensitive to heat you can also remove the seeds of the serrano peppers too. Place all the blackened vegetables into a blender along with the 2 teaspoons of salt, the oregano, and the cup of water. Blend on high until smooth.
  • Fry the sauce. Heat the 2 tablespoons of oil in a small Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the sauce (careful it will splatter) and fry in the oil until the color deepens and the sauce is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Cover and keep warm.
  • Peel the peppers. Carefully remove the blackened skin from the peppers. Try your best not to rip or break them. Get off as much as you can and rinse the rest off under running water.
  • Stuff the peppers. Cut a slit down the side of each pepper and remove the seeds with your fingers, again being careful not to rip or break them. Rinse out any remaining seeds under running water. Fill each pepper with 3/4 to 1/2 cup of shredded cheese depending on the size of the pepper-you will use all the cheese. Place 1-2 fresh epazote leaves inside each pepper if using. Seal closed by threading a toothpick through the opening.
  • Make the batter. Beat the egg whites in a bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment on medium-high until they are stiff. Turn the mixer to low and add the yolks one at a time until they are completely incorporated. Add a generous pinch of salt and mix that in as well.
  • Heat oil. Heat the cup of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Batter the chiles. Place flour in a pie plate or shallow baking dish. Season generously with salt. Coat the chiles, one at a time, in the flour, dusting off any excess then dip the chiles into the mixing bowl and cover with the egg batter. I like to use a small spatula to "paint" the batter onto the chiles until they are thoroughly coated.
  • Fry the chiles. Once the oil is hot (test by sticking a wooden chopstick in the oil, if it is immediately covered in bubbles the oil is ready) add the chiles, two at a time. Adjust the oil temperature as they are cooking. If the oil starts to smoke, turn it down if it becomes too cool, turn up the heat.
  • Flip the chiles. Once the chiles are golden brown on one side, flip using a fish spatula and cook until golden on that side. Keep flipping and frying until they are golden all over and they are warmed through, about 5-8 minutes.
  • Drain the chiles. Remove to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain the excess oil and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining chiles. Then serve immediately with Salsa Ranchera.
  • Make in advance. The chiles keep great if you want to make them ahead. Keep them warm for up to an hour in a low (200°F) oven. Or make, let cool, and refrigerate then reheat in a 350°F oven until hot, about 15 minutes.

CHILE RELLENO RECIPE



Chile Relleno Recipe image

This chile relleno recipe is the ultimate Mexican stuffed pepper, with roasted poblano peppers stuffed with melty cheese, battered and lightly fried.

Provided by Mike Hultquist

Categories     Appetizer     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 poblano peppers ((or use New Mexican peppers, Hatch peppers, Anaheims or others))
2 eggs (separated)
½ cup flour (separated)
6 ounces melty cheese (or equivalent of shredded cheese)
Pinch of salt
Oil for frying

Steps:

  • Roast the peppers over an open flame, or use your oven broiler, until skins are blackened on each side. Over flame, it should only take about 5 minutes. In the broiler, it could take 10 or more minutes.
  • Remove the peppers and transfer to a paper or plastic bag and seal them up. Allow to steam and cool. This will loosen up the skins.
  • Once cooled, peel off the blackened skins.
  • Slice open each pepper lengthwise with one long slit, then remove the innards with a knife or spoon.
  • Stuff each pepper with cheese, but do not overstuff. Make sure you can still close the pepper.
  • Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a wide pot to 375 degrees F. Do not let the oil boil. If you do not have a thermometer, test the oil with a tiny drop of flour. It will immediately sizzle up.
  • Separate the egg yolks from the whites and add the egg whites to a large bowl. Beat the egg whites until they fluff up and form stiff peaks, about 5 minutes. An electric egg beater is ideal. Gently stir in egg yolks.
  • Add flour to a separate bowl with a bit of salt. Dip the stuffed peppers into the flour to coat them, then dip them into the egg batter to coat them completely.
  • Fry each pepper about 2-3 minutes each side, or until they are a golden brown.
  • Remove the peppers and set them onto a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • Serve with your favorite salsa or sauce!

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN CHILI RELLENOS



Authentic Mexican Chili Rellenos image

This is an authentic Mexican recipe that has been handed down for generations in my family.

Provided by Kentucky Guera

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 fresh Anaheim chile peppers
1 (8 ounce) package queso asadero (white Mexican cheese), cut into 3/4-inch thick strips
2 eggs, separated
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup vegetable shortening for frying

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place peppers onto the prepared baking sheet, and cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, about 10 minutes. Turn the peppers often to blacken all sides. Place the blackened peppers into a bowl, and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow the peppers to steam as they cool, about 15 minutes.
  • Rinse cooled peppers under cold water to peel off the skins, and cut a slit along the long side of each pepper to remove the seeds and core. Rinse the peppers inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels. Stuff the peppers with strips of the cheese.
  • Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl with the baking powder. In a second metal bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until the whites form stiff peaks. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture. Place flour into a shallow bowl.
  • Heat the vegetable shortening in a skillet over medium heat. Roll each stuffed pepper in flour, tap off excess flour, and dip the peppers into the egg mixture to coat both sides. Gently lay the coated peppers into the hot shortening. Fry peppers until lightly golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes per side.

CHILES RELLENOS



Chiles Rellenos image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

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.

CHILE RELLENO WITH CHORIZO, BLACK BEANS, SALSA VERDE AND LIME CREMA



Chile Relleno with Chorizo, Black Beans, Salsa Verde and Lime Crema image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

5 tomatillos
1 jalapeño, stem removed
1 onion, half sliced into rounds and the other half diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 small bunch cilantro, stems separated and minced and leaves coarsely chopped
Juice and zest of 3 limes
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 links fresh chorizo, casing removed
One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups grated pepper jack cheese
3 large eggs
4 poblano peppers
2 cups all-purpose flour
Canola oil, for frying
1/2 cup Mexican crema
2 tablespoons grated cotija cheese

Steps:

  • To make the sauce, preheat a large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the tomatillos, jalapeño and sliced onions and cook, turning occasionally, until softened and blistered on all sides but not completely charred, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the pan and wipe out any charred pieces that may have stuck to the bottom of the pan; reserve the pan. Coarsely chop the tomatillos, jalapeño and onions and add to a blender along with half of the garlic, the cilantro leaves and the zest and juice of 2 limes. Blend the sauce until smooth. Season with salt.
  • Heat a large saute pan with the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the other half of the garlic and the cilantro stems and saute until slightly softened and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chorizo and break it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and allow to cool slightly. Add the black beans, pepper jack cheese, 1 egg and salt to taste. Mix to combine.
  • Place the poblanos on an open flame on your stovetop. Cook, flipping occasionally, until completely black and charred, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam until the skin pulls away, about 10 minutes. (If you don't have a gas stovetop, you can broil the pepper in the oven on high, turning occasionally, until charred.) Remove the skin from the pepper and wipe off any excess black char. Make a small slit lengthwise down the center of one side of the poblanos, being careful not to cut all the way through. Remove the seeds and ribs. Stuff each pepper with some of the filling, being careful not to overfill the peppers or else they will burst while frying. Close up the pepper by securing it with toothpicks.
  • Separate the remaining 2 eggs into two large bowls. Add a pinch of salt into each bowl. Whip the egg whites with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat the egg yolks for about 30 seconds until well incorporated, then pour the yolks into the bowl with the egg whites and continue to beat until combined for another minute. To a third bowl, add the flour. Dip the stuffed poblanos into the egg mixture first, and then into the flour. If you feel like the stuffed poblano is not well coated, you can do a double dredge.
  • Fill the reserved cast-iron pan with 2 inches of canola oil. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers. Test the oil with a little flour and, if it sizzles, it's ready. Gently lay a dredged poblano into the oil and fry on the first side until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, then fry for another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate, season immediately with salt and allow to drain. Transfer to a sheet tray lined with a rack so they don't get soggy. Remove the toothpicks before serving.
  • Mix together the crema and juice and zest of the remaining lime in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • To serve, spoon some of the green chile sauce onto the bottom of the plate. Lay the fried poblano over the top of the sauce. Garnish with the cotija cheese. Spoon some of the lime crema alongside the fried chile.

CHILES RELLENOS



Chiles Rellenos image

Here's a Tex-Mex dish of great distinction, taken from the version served at the old El Jardin restaurant in Houston. The recipe offers extremely good instruction on roasting the peppers, information that will hold you in good stead elsewhere in this archive. And the resulting pockets of beef and cheese, fried in batter, make an excellent argument for the relevancy of stuffed peppers in general, and stuffed, fried ones in particular.

Provided by Joe Drape

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large fresh poblano peppers
8 ounces lean ground beef
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 large tomato, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 slices bacon, diced
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil, or as needed
1 large carrot, finely chopped
1 medium all-purpose potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Heat broiler. Place whole peppers on a flat pan and broil, turning frequently, until evenly black and blistered. Remove from heat and place in a plastic bag, twisted closed, for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, place a skillet over medium heat and add ground beef (no oil needed). Sauté until evenly brown, then add onion, garlic powder and tomato. Sauté until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a separate skillet cook strips of bacon until browned and crisp. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to beef mixture. Return pan and bacon fat to medium-low heat, and add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, the carrot and potato. Sauté until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat, spread meat mixture evenly across top, and set aside.
  • Remove peppers from bag. Using protective gloves or under cool running water, peel burnt skins. Carefully make a vertical slit in side of each pepper and remove any seeds or veins. Stuff peppers with ground beef mixture, overlapping slits and securing them with toothpicks.
  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add about 1/4 inch of oil. While oil heats, with an electric mixer whisk egg whites until thick and fluffy. Add egg yolks and whisk just until blended, about 30 seconds. Place flour in a wide shallow bowl. Coat each stuffed pepper with a thin layer of flour, then dip in egg mixture so that entire pepper is covered. Carefully place peppers in hot oil and fry on both sides until golden, about 2 minutes a side. Drain excess oil on paper towels, transfer to a warm platter, remove toothpicks, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chili or the biscuits. The chili should be simmered until it is thick and flavorful, but not mushy. The biscuits should be cooked until they are golden brown and fluffy.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the biscuits in half. This will help to prevent them from tearing.
  • Fill the biscuits with a generous amount of chili. You don't want them to be too stuffed, but you also don't want them to be skimpy.
  • Top the biscuits with cheese and green onions before baking. This will add extra flavor and color to the dish.
  • Serve the chili biscuit rellenos immediately with your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Chili biscuit rellenos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a party. They are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to serve chili, give chili biscuit rellenos a try. You won't be disappointed!
