Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

9 large Poblano peppers (or 14 small to medium)
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium onion (finely chopped)
1 pound fresh chorizo sausage (casings removed if in casings)
7 cloves garlic (minced, divided)
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder (hot or mild)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons dried Mexican oregano
1 can (28-ounce) tomato sauce (plus 1/2 cup water to rinse out the can)
1 tablespoon brown sugar (or as needed (packed))
1 cup cooked brown rice
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese (divided)
1 large egg
oil or cooking spray for pan

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler to high. Place peppers on a large rimmed baking sheet and place under the broiler (approximately 6 inches from the element). Roast the peppers until blackened and blistered, turning once after approximately 7-8 minutes. Roast another 4-5 minutes. (If not totally charred, don't worry as you want some texture left.)
  • Immediately cover with another rimmed baking sheet, aluminum foil or place in a covered container and let cool.
  • Peel as much of the skin away as you can. Carefully cut each pepper on one side from tip to stem and remove the seeds. Set aside until needed.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, reduce heat to medium and cook the onion until beginning to soften, approximately 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Add the chorizo, breaking it up into small pieces and brown it until no longer raw. Add half the garlic and cook another 1-2 minutes. Transfer chorizo mixture to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve fat in the pan and reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Combine remaining garlic, chili powder, cumin, coriander and oregano in the pan. Stir over medium-low heat for approximately 30 seconds or until garlic is fragrant.
  • Add tomato sauce, water you rinsed the can out with and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook 3-4 minutes just to combine the flavors. Taste the sauce and add additional brown sugar if too acidic. Remove from heat.
  • Chop one of the Poblanos if they're large or two if they're smaller (whichever one/ones is/are the least pretty).
  • Combine the chopped Poblano, chorizo mixture, rice, 1/2 cup of the sauce, half of the cheese and the egg in a large bowl. Mix well.
  • Prepare a 13 x 9-inch baking dish by brushing it with oil or spraying with cooking spray.
  • Spread 3/4 cup of the sauce in the prepared baking dish.
  • Fill each pepper with equal amounts of the filling and place in the baking dish.
  • Pour the remaining sauce over the peppers and top with remaining cheese. Cover loosely with aluminum foil.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking another 10-12 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted and beginning to brown.

Spicy Chorizo Stuffed Poblano Peppers With Cheese image

Fresh whole Poblano peppers blanched and stuffed with a spicy chorizo sausage, rice, and vegetable filling, covered in enchilada sauce and cheese and baked. Serve with refried beans and sour cream on the side... and you've got an explosion of flavor! I created this recipe after my husband planted jalapenos and harvested Poblanos... the seed company had labeled them wrong! A fortunate mistake in my opinion as these peppers are so delicious and this recipe really highlights their unique smoky flavor!

Provided by Dans La Lune

Categories     Pork

Time 30m

Yield 4 peppers, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 poblano peppers, medium to large
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb chorizo sausage, ground
1 pint brown rice or 1 pint white rice, cooked
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/3 cup water
1/2 lime
1 cup cheese, grated (a blend of your choice, cheddar, Mont. Jack, etc... I just buy the "Mexican" blend at the store)
1/2 cup enchilada sauce, plus more for serving (make your own or buy a can of mild green chile enchilada sauce)

Steps:

  • *If you can't find a package of ground Chorizo sausage, buy them whole and remove the casings before cooking.
  • In a large pan on medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Put the ground Chorizo in the pan, and break it all up so it can cook evenly. Stir occasionally and continue cooking as you work on the ingredients.
  • Meanwhile, start a large pot of salted water to boil.
  • While you are waiting for the water to boil, start preparing your Poblano peppers. Slice the tops off of the pepper, and scoop out the inner seeds. Discard the seeds, but save the tops of the peppers.
  • Add the Poblano peppers to the boiling water, and set up an ice bath ready on the side. After about 8 minutes, plunge them in the ice water.
  • Start another pan on medium heat with a tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Take the reserved tops of the Poblano peppers and trim off the stem and inedible parts. Mince the remaining pepper.
  • Add the pepper and chopped onion to the pan. Saute a few minutes, then add the chopped red bell pepper. Saute for a few minutes longer.
  • Next, add the rice, and mix all together. Stir in the tomato paste and water.
  • Add the cooked Chorizo sausage and stir well.
  • Season with salt and pepper or seasoning salt to your liking. Finish with a squeeze of half of lime.
  • Remove the peppers from the ice bath and shake off excess water. Have a 13 x 9 pan ready, and begin stuffing each pepper with the mixture. Lay the stuffed peppers in the pan.
  • Pour the enchilada sauce over all the peppers, allowing excess to drip into the pan.
  • Sprinkle cheese evenly over the tops of the peppers.
  • Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
  • Serve with extra enchilada sauce, refried beans, and sour cream.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right poblano peppers: Look for poblano peppers that are large, dark green, and have smooth skin. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Roast the poblano peppers properly: Roasting the poblano peppers brings out their smoky flavor and makes them easier to peel. To roast the peppers, place them on a baking sheet and broil them for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the skin is blackened. Once the peppers are roasted, transfer them to a paper bag or bowl and let them steam for 10-15 minutes. This will make it easier to peel off the skin.
  • Make sure the chorizo is cooked through: Chorizo is a type of sausage that is typically made with pork, paprika, and garlic. It is important to cook the chorizo thoroughly before stuffing the poblano peppers. To cook the chorizo, simply brown it in a skillet over medium heat until it is no longer pink.
  • Use a flavorful rice mixture: The rice mixture that you use to stuff the poblano peppers should be flavorful and well-seasoned. A good option is to use a Mexican rice mix, which typically contains rice, tomatoes, onions, and spices. You can also add other ingredients to the rice mixture, such as black beans, corn, or vegetables.
  • Stuff the poblano peppers carefully: When stuffing the poblano peppers, be careful not to overstuff them. You want the peppers to be full, but not so full that they are bursting at the seams. If you overstuff the peppers, they may split open during baking.
  • Bake the poblano peppers until they are heated through: The poblano peppers should be baked until they are heated through and the rice mixture is cooked through. This typically takes about 20-25 minutes. You can check to see if the peppers are done by inserting a toothpick into the center of one of the peppers. If the toothpick comes out clean, the peppers are done.

Conclusion:

Chorizo and rice stuffed poblano peppers are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The poblano peppers are roasted and then stuffed with a flavorful mixture of chorizo, rice, and spices. The peppers are then baked until they are heated through and the rice is cooked through. These peppers are a great way to enjoy the flavors of Mexican cuisine.
