Provided by Busy Teacher

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 medium poblano peppers
4 large eggs
½ cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup milk
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 (12 ounce) package queso fresco
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Roast peppers on the top rack of the preheated oven until the skins are charred, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the oven and allow to cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Set the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • While peppers are cooling, whisk eggs, flour, milk, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl until smooth. Slice the queso fresco into eight even rectangles, just shorter than the length of the peppers.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until the egg mixture has risen and the cheese is golden brown, about 30 minutes.

BAKED CHILES RELLENOS



Baked Chiles Rellenos image

The large, thick-fleshed poblano chile has a nice amount of heat, but not too much, and an earthy flavor; it also is the right size for stuffing, as in Mexican chiles rellenos. This recipe originally appeared in "Martha Stewart's Vegetables" (Clarkson Potter).

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Ground Chicken Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds ground chicken
1 white onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 3/4 pounds plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 dried bay leaves
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup green olives, chopped
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro, plus small sprigs for serving
1/2 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup finely chopped mint
1/2 cup slivered almonds
Coarse salt
12 fresh poblano chiles
Mexican crema or sour cream, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high until almost smoking. Add chicken; cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in same skillet over medium-high. Cook onion, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add tomatoes and bay leaves, and reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until tomatoes are soft, 15 minutes.
  • Stir in raisins, olives, and capers; cook 3 minutes. Add chicken; cook 5 minutes. Stir in chopped herbs and almonds, and season with salt. Let cool. (Filling may be refrigerated up to 1 day in an airtight container. Before using, bring to room temperature; discard bay leaves.)
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roast poblanos directly over the flame of a gas-stove burner or under a broiler, turning often with tongs, until charred on all sides. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand for 15 minutes. When cool enough to handle, rub with a paper towel to remove skins, being careful not to tear the flesh. Cut a slit down the side of each poblano from stem to tip. Remove seeds, leaving stem intact.
  • Spoon filling into each chile, dividing evenly; arrange in a baking dish. Bake until heated through, 15 minutes. Serve immediately with crema, cilantro sprigs, and lime wedges.

Tips:

- To select the best poblano peppers for Chiles Rellenos, look for ones that are dark green, firm, and have no blemishes. - Before roasting the poblano peppers, make sure to prick them with a fork or knife to prevent them from bursting. - Once the poblano peppers are roasted, immediately place them in a paper bag or plastic bag to steam and soften. This will make it easier to peel off the skin. - To make the filling for the Chiles Rellenos, use a combination of cooked ground beef or turkey, rice, beans, corn, and spices. You can also add cheese or chopped vegetables to the filling. - When stuffing the poblano peppers, be careful not to overfill them. Otherwise, they may burst open during baking. - To prevent the Chiles Rellenos from drying out, brush them with a mixture of melted butter and chicken broth before baking. - Serve the Chiles Rellenos immediately with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or cheese.
