CHILES RELLENOS

Chiles are a must where I live. I find they almost always improve a recipe that uses cheese. Sometimes I make this into a heartier main dish by adding shredded cooked chicken after the chile layer. It really tastes good! -Irene Martin, Portales, New Mexico

GRILLED CHILES RELLENOS - TASTE OF HOME



Grilled Chiles Rellenos - Taste of Home image

My sister gave me the the Taste of Home - Grill it cookbook as a gift. First recipe I tried was this one, and my husband and I both loved it! Don't let the poblano peppers scare you away, these are more flavorful than hot. We follow a low carb lifestyle and this recipe fits the bill. Terrific side dish to any meat you throw on the grill. Enjoy! The cookbook says that it makes four servings, one half of a pepper is plenty if you serve it with other dishes. I makes more like 8 servings IMO.

Tips and Conclusion

Tips:

  • Choose the right chiles poblanos. Look for ones that are firm and have smooth, deep-green skin. Avoid any that have blemishes or bruises.
  • Roast the chiles poblanos over an open flame or on the grill until the skin is blistered and charred. This will help to remove the bitterness from the chiles.
  • Once the chiles are roasted, let them cool slightly before peeling and seeding them. Wear gloves to protect your hands from the capsaicin in the chiles.
  • To make the filling, use a combination of cheeses that will melt well, such as mozzarella, cheddar, and Monterey Jack. You can also add other ingredients to the filling, such as cooked ground beef, black beans, or corn.
  • When stuffing the chiles, be careful not to overstuff them. Otherwise, they will be difficult to close and the filling will ooze out.
  • To prevent the chiles from sticking to the pan, cook them over medium heat and do not overcrowd the pan. Turn the chiles frequently to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Serve the chiles rellenos immediately, topped with your favorite sauce. You can also garnish them with chopped cilantro or parsley.

Conclusion:

Grilled chiles rellenos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover chiles poblanos. With a little planning and effort, you can make this dish at home and enjoy the flavors of Mexico.
