BAKED CHILES RELLENOS
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).

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.

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.
- Carefully peel off the waxy skin of the cooled peppers. Gently cut a slit down the length of the peppers and use a spoon to remove the seeds and membranes.
- Spread about 1/4 cup of the milk mixture on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Wrap each pepper around a queso fresco rectangle. Place each chile/cheese wrap seam-side down in a single layer in the baking dish. Cover with remaining egg mixture. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the egg mixture has risen and the cheese is golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Tips:
- To make the perfect chile relleno, start with high-quality poblano peppers. Look for peppers that are firm, have a deep green color, and are free of blemishes.
- Roasting the poblano peppers is an essential step in the recipe. Roasting brings out the pepper's flavor and makes it easier to peel.
- When peeling the poblano peppers, be careful not to tear the skin. If the skin does tear, the pepper will not hold its shape when it is stuffed.
- To make the filling, use a combination of cheese, meat, and vegetables. Common fillings include queso Oaxaca, ground beef, picadillo, and rajas con crema.
- Be careful not to overstuff the poblano peppers. If the peppers are too full, they will burst open when they are baked.
- Bake the chile rellenos until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 20 minutes.
- Serve the chile rellenos immediately, topped with your favorite sauce. Common sauces include salsa roja, salsa verde, and mole poblano.
Conclusion:
Chile rellenos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can make chile rellenos that are sure to impress your family and friends.
