    Title: Killer Chile Rellenos
    Categories: Mexican, Stuffed veg
    Yield: 6 Rellenos

    6 lg Pasilla; (also called
    -Poblanos or ancho chiles)
    --OR-
    6 lg Anaheim chiles
    1/2 lb Monterey Jack cheese; thinly
    -sliced
    1/4 c Flour
    6 Raw eggs; separated
    1/2 c Flour
    1/4 ts Salt
    2 c Salsa verde; (tangy green
    -sauce) -OR-
    2 c Hot sauce; (traditional red
    -sauce)
    1 c Vegetable oil

    Rinse the chiles.

    Preheat your oven to broil.

    Place the chiles in a 9x14" baking dish and place on the top shelf of
    your oven.

    Watch and listen closely. When the skins start to make popping sounds
    and to char and turn black in places, take the chiles out and flip
    them over. Be sure and use a potholder so you don't burn your hands!

    When both sides are fairly evenly charred, remove them from the oven.

    Wrap each chile in a moist paper towel or place in a sealed plastic
    bag to steam.

    After a few minutes, check them. Once the skin comes off easily, peel
    each chile.

    Optionally, if you use canned chiles, you can skip the above steps.
    Either way, proceed with the following steps.

    Cut a slit almost the full length of each chile. Make a small "t"
    across the top, by the stem. Pull out fibers and seeds (this is where
    the heat is) and replace with a slice of cheese. You can set these
    aside, for a few minutes or a few hours if you put them in the
    refrigerator.

    Whip the egg whites at high speed with an electric mixer, until stiff
    peaks have formed.

    Heat the oil in a skillet until a drop of water sizzles when dropped
    into the pan.

    Beat the egg yolks with one tablespoon flour and salt. Mix the yolks
    into egg whites and stir until you have a thick paste.

    Roll the chiles in 1/4 cup flour and dip each one in the egg batter.
    Coat evenly. Fry both sides until golden brown. Place on paper towels
    to drain.

    Meanwhile, heat the salsa in a medium saucepan (either one or some of
    each). Place one or two Rellenos on each plate and pour salsa over
    them. Serve immediately.

    Categories: Mexican, Stuffed veg
    Yield: 6 Rellenos

    This is my recipe for rellenos. You can vary the heat to suit your diner's pallates. I generally use heritage Big Jims that are grown from seed
    from Dr. Bosland's Chile Pepper Institute. For wimps I'll use grocery
    store NuMax or Anaheins.

    Title: Green Chilies Rellenos (Stuffed Green Chilies)
    Categories: Latino, Vegetables, Chilies, Cheese
    Yield: 5 Servings

    10 lg Green chilies; NuMex, Big
    - Jim or Anaheim, roasted,
    - peeled, stems on
    10 oz Longhorn (yellow) or Jack
    - (white) cheese
    1 lg Onion; peeled, in thin
    - slivers, opt

    MMMMM---------------------------BATTER--------------------------------
    1 c All-purpose flour
    1 ts Baking powder
    1/2 ts Salt
    3/4 c Cornmeal
    1 c Milk
    2 lg Eggs; slightly beaten

    To make batter, combine flour, baking powder, salt and
    cornmeal. Blend milk with egg;then combine milk and egg
    mixture with dry ingredients. Add more milk if necessary
    for a smooth batter.

    Cut cheese into slices or batons 1/4" thick and the length
    of the chile pods. Make a small slit in roasted chile just
    big enough to insert cheese (you can also poke in some of
    the slivers of onion at this point).

    Heat a deep fryer or skillet w/an inch or so of oil to a
    temperature of 375ºF/190ºC.

    Using a spoon, dip stuffed chilies in batter then fry in the
    hot oil or lard until golden brown. Drain and serve. May be
    garnished with green chile sauce if desired.

    Thanks for your recipe!

    I ate home-grown chile rellenos as a child. Even though we planted all the same kind of chile in the garden, the spiciness varied quite a bit in between individual plants. I like them hot so i'd probably enjoy your home-grown
    chiles. I seem to recall that sometimes Mom would roast them in the BBQ
    grill and then peel the skins off prior to making the rellenos. I've noticed that most restaurants, especially California-style Mexican restaurants, stuff
    the chiles with cheese, which is great for me as a vegetarian. One place in particular seems to use a random cheese. Cheddar, Queso Fresca, Mozarella: i never know what i am going to get and that makes it fun.

    Traditional rellenos are stuffed w/cheese. That's the way it's s'posed
    to be. If I am using meat in the stuffing I call them "stuffed peppers"
    If I have Mexi-bells on hand (cross between jalapeno and bell pepper) I
    often give my guests a "surprise". <evil grin>

    Title: Jalapeno Poppers w/Serrano Sour Cream Dip
    Categories: Appetisers, Dips, Chilies, Dairy
    Yield: 8 Servings

    8 lg Jalapenos

    MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
    1/4 c Yoghurt cheese
    1 sl Bacon, cooked crisp, in
    - small pieces *
    1 cl Garlic; minced
    pn Salt

    MMMMM---------------------------BATTER--------------------------------
    1 lg Pastured egg; separated

    MMMMM-------------------SERRANO SOUR CREAM DIP------------------------
    2 tb Serrano & Garlic Aioli **
    1/4 c Sour cream or creme fraiche
    1 tb Apple cider vinegar

    * substitute Baco's for a no-meat version
    ** Separate recipe

    Blend the aioli and the sour cream and serve with the
    poppers!

    Roast the jalapenos at 400┬║F/205┬║C (I use a toaster oven)
    for about 15-20 minutes or until the skin is blistered and
    brown, turning about half way through. Alternatively, you
    can roast the jalapenos on a comal or cast iron skillet
    until done. Place the roasted jalapenos in a dish towel
    and allow to rest for about 10 minutes (this will help
    with the skin removal).

    Remove the skin. Make a small vertical slit in the
    jalapenos, careful not to remove the stem, and clean out
    the seeds.

    To make the filling, mix the yogurt cheese, salt and
    garlic together until combined. Add the bacon pieces.

    Fill the jalapenos with a spoonful of filling and pinch
    them closed.

    To make the batter, add the egg white to a mixing bowl of
    a stand mixer (or use a hand mixer) and whip until stiff
    peaks are formed, about 2-3 minutes. While the egg white
    is being whipped, add the egg yolk to a bowl and whisk
    until light and frothy, about 30 seconds. Fold the stiff
    egg white gently into the egg yolk.

    Heat up a cast iron skillet on medium high heat. When the
    pan is hot, add bacon grease or ghee to the pan. Dip the
    stuffed jalapenos in the batter to coat and then saute in
    the skillet until the edges brown. Flip the jalapenos and
    cook on the other side. When nicely browned, remove to a
    plate. Continue to cook in batches until completed.

    Serve with Serrano Sour Cream Dip.

    Title: Serrano & Garlic Aioli
    Categories: Five, Sauces, Vegetables, Chilies
    Yield: 1 Cup

    20 Serrano chilies
    8 cl Garlic; peeled
    3 tb Water
    1/2 c Olive oil
    Salt; abt 1/2 ts

    Place the serranos in a small pot and cover with water.
    Bring to a boil and then lower to a simmer and cook about
    15 minutes or until darkened and cooked through.

    Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water but drain the
    serranos. Add the cooked and strained serranos, garlic,
    salt, and a little of the cooking water (start with about
    a tablespoon or two) and blend in a high speed blender or
    food processor.

    With the food processor or blender on, slowly pour in the
    olive oil in a thin stream. The mixture should start to
    emulsify and thicken like a mayonnaise.

    Store in a small glass jar. This recipe makes about a cup
    of aioli/salsa.

    We enjoy this salsa on pretty much anything you want to
    add a spicy kick to: eggs, tacos, potatoes, meats, etc.
