CHILE RELLENO GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Set oven rack two levels below broiler element and heat oven to broil. Line a baking dish with foil and set Poblano pepper on foil. Transfer to oven and broil pepper, rotating frequently, until skin has blistered and charred, about 8 - 10 minutes.
• Transfer pepper to an airtight bag, seal bag and allow to rest 5 minutes, or until cool enough to handle. Remove from bag and peel pepper, cut off top, make one slice down length of pepper. Remove and discard seeds and ribs. Pat inside of pepper dry with a paper towel, set aside.
• Heat 2 tsp oil in an 8-inch non-stick skillet slightly over medium heat. Whisk egg vigorously in a small bowl until frothy, 1 minute. Once oil is hot, carefully pour egg into pan.
• Cook egg until golden, about 10 seconds, then using a spatula, fold egg into a half (as if you were making an omelet). Continue to cook just until nearly cooked through, about 10 seconds longer per side then transfer to paper towels to drain, set aside.
• To assemble sandwich, brush 1/2 tbsp butter on outsides of bread. Layer egg on bread, followed by roasted Poblano pepper, grated Wisconsin Monterey Jack cheese and sprinkle top with half of the pico de gallo (reserve remaining pico de gallo for another use).
• Using paper towels, wipe oil from skillet. Heat skillet over medium-low heat. Carefully transfer assembled sandwich to skillet.
• Cook until bottom is golden about 4 - 6 minutes, then rotate sandwich to opposite side, cover skillet with lid and cook opposite side until golden brown and cheese has melted through, about 4 - 6 minutes. Serve immediately.
• FOR THE PICO DE GALLO: Combine diced tomato, onion, garlic, cilantro and lime juice in a small mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

CHILES RELLENOS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack directly underneath the broiler and preheat the broiler.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the Mexican crema, hot sauce, lime zest and juice and salt to taste; stir to combine. Set aside to let the flavors meld together.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chorizo and onions, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside until ready to stuff the roasted poblanos.
• Place the poblanos on a baking sheet and broil, turning once, until the skin is blistered and blackened, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Put the charred poblanos in a medium heatproof bowl, then cover with plastic wrap and let steam for 10 minutes. Peel and rub away the skins of the poblanos, then gently dry using a paper towel. Cut a 2-inch lengthwise slit in the center of each poblano and carefully cut out the seeds with kitchen shears, leaving the stems intact.
• Stuff each poblano with the chorizo and cheese, dividing evenly. Gently close the opening using 2 to 3 toothpicks to keep the filling from falling out.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 375 degrees F. Position a wire rack on a baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, add the egg whites to a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat until medium peaks form. With the mixer on low, add the egg yolks and 1 tablespoon flour and mix until completely incorporated. The batter should be smooth and fluffy.
• Sprinkle the poblanos with salt, then dredge in the remaining 1/2 cup flour, tapping to shake off any excess; dip into the batter until fully coated. Gently add the poblano to the hot oil and fry in batches to not overcrowd the skillet. Cook until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to the wire rack to drain. Serve warm on a platter and drizzle with the spicy lime crema and a side of yellow rice, if using.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN CHILI RELLENOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place peppers onto the prepared baking sheet, and cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, about 10 minutes. Turn the peppers often to blacken all sides. Place the blackened peppers into a bowl, and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow the peppers to steam as they cool, about 15 minutes.
• Rinse cooled peppers under cold water to peel off the skins, and cut a slit along the long side of each pepper to remove the seeds and core. Rinse the peppers inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels. Stuff the peppers with strips of the cheese.
• Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl with the baking powder. In a second metal bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until the whites form stiff peaks. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture. Place flour into a shallow bowl.
• Heat the vegetable shortening in a skillet over medium heat. Roll each stuffed pepper in flour, tap off excess flour, and dip the peppers into the egg mixture to coat both sides. Gently lay the coated peppers into the hot shortening. Fry peppers until lightly golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes per side.

GRILLED CHILES RELLENOS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, lime juice and 1/4 cup cilantro. Cover and refrigerate until serving., In a large skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. Add the mushroom, yellow squash, zucchini, jalapeno and garlic; saute 3-5 minutes longer or until vegetables are crisp-tender., Stir in the beans, 1-1/2 cups cheese, corn, cumin, salt, pepper and remaining cilantro. Remove from the heat. Spoon into poblano halves; sprinkle with remaining cheese., Grill peppers, covered, over indirect medium heat for 10-14 minutes or until tender. Serve with sour cream sauce.

CHILES RELLENOS

Steps:

• Char the chiles.
• Turn a gas burner on high. Char the chiles on the burner grate, turning with tongs (Marcela is a pro and uses her hands!), until blackened all over. Or char the chiles under the broiler.
• Let them soften.
• Transfer the charred chiles to a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag and close. Let stand 10 minutes. The chiles will steam in the bag, making them soft and easy to peel.
• Remove the skin.
• Gently rub the chiles with paper towels to remove as much skin as possible. It's okay if a few flecks remain-they'll add flavor, so don't rinse them off.
• Open the chiles.
• Using a paring knife, make a slit across the top of a chile just below the stem, leaving the stem intact. Starting from the middle of the slit, slice lengthwise down to the tip of the pepper (cut through only one layer). Open the chile like a book and pull out the seeds and inner membranes. You may need to use a paring knife to loosen the top of the seedpod. Repeat with the remaining chiles.
• Prepare the sauce.
• Puree the tomatoes, onion and garlic in a blender until smooth. Warm the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the tomato puree and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally; the sauce will be broth-y. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
• Make the filling.
• Place the cheese in a bowl, then add the oregano, crumbling and rubbing it with your fingers to release its flavor. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
• Stuff the chiles.
• Fill each chile with about 1/4 cup cheese mixture. Fold in the sides to cover the filling, then thread 2 toothpicks across the seam to form an X. You will probably need to make a second toothpick X to secure each chile so the filling doesn't leak out when you fry.
• Mix the batter.
• Beat the egg whites with a mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Add the egg yolk and beat 3 more minutes.
• Batter and fry.
• Heat about 1 inch vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
• Dredge: Pour flour into a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. One at a time, coat the stuffed chiles with the flour.
• Batter: Holding each chile by the stem, lower it into the egg batter to cover completely. Let any excess batter drip off.
• Fry: Add the chiles to the hot oil, 1 or 2 at a time; fry, flipping once with tongs, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
• Eat!
• Place a fried chile on each plate and pour the warm sauce over it. Serve immediately.

AUTHENTIC RESTAURANT QUALITY CHILES RELLENOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove visible fat from chicken. Rub chickens pieces with chipotle in adobo, lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin seeds, coriander, and cilantro.
• Place chicken in a baking dish. Bake until done (about 40 - 45 minutes) until cooked through and juices run clear.
• Allow chicken to cool until cool enough to handle. Shred meat, chop well and set aside. Scrape juice remaining in pan onto the shredded meat.
• Roast the chilies by holding over a gas flame with metal tongs until the skin is blistered all over. Chilies can also be broiled in the oven, keeping an eye on them so they won't burn.
• Place blistered chilies in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let sit for about 10 - 15 minutes to soften skin. Remove and peel blistered skin from stem end down. It is important to keep peppers intact. Set chilies aside.
• In a skillet, saute corn with scallions in a butter until warm, but not mushy. Turn into bowl and add 1 teaspoons chili powder. Crumble in the feta cheese. Add Monterrey jack, chopped pecans, and chicken. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper.
• In a separate bowl, combine ground 1/8 cup ground cumin seeds, chili powder with cornmeal; set aside.
• In another bowl, combine eggs and milk; set aside.
• Slice top rim of the chilies stem end across 3/4 of the way to form a lid. Carefully remove seeds (it's o.k. to let some seeds remain).
• Fill chilies with chicken stuffing, carefully starting at stem end, being careful to keep chilies intact. It's much easier to fill by using your hands as a spoon tends to tear chilies.
• Dip chilies in egg/milk mixture and then roll in cornmeal. Placing chilies on a wax or plastic lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or more.
• Heat oil to 375 degrees F. Deep fry the chilies in batches. Drain, keep warm and serve.
• Serve with dollops of sour cream or with sour cream sauce. (Make sour cream sauce by blending sour cream, buttermilk or milk to the right consistency. Add a little chopped cilantro if preferred and I sometimes add grated lime peel and/or sprinkle lime juice to taste. Add a bit of salt if desired).
• NOTE: Toasting cumin seeds and then grinding them adds a smoky intensity. You can use pre-ground cumin, but note that the flavor won't have the same depth and character. I've used both and prefer the toasted seeds. If toasting the seeds, please keep an eye on them as they toast very quickly and just as quickly they burn. Spices can easy be ground in an electric coffee grinder dedicated solely for grinding spices.

• Combine the 3 cheeses in bowl and refrigerate. Separate the eggs into separate mixing bowls. Beat the whites on high speed until soft peaks form; add the 1/4 cup flour and mix for 10 seconds. Add the yolks and mix at medium speed for 10 seconds. Using a large rubber spatula finish incorporating the yolks by folding them in. Cover and refrigerate until ready to batter the rellenos. Make a cut down the length of the chiles, gently open chiles and hold under cold running water to rinse away the seeds. Pat dry with paper towels. Gently press about 1/3 cup of the cheese mixture into an oval shaped ball and place inside one of the chiles. Using a wooden toothpick "sew" the seam of the chile shut. Repeat until all chiles are filled. Place the flour on a plate. Gently roll the stuffed chiles in the flour to coat. Dip into egg mixture and coat completely. Line another plate with paper towels. Fill a heavy skillet with 3 to 4 inches of the oil and heat over high until oil sizzles when a pinch of flour is dropped in. Add the stuffed chiles and fry one at a time. When chiles are light golden brown, turn them to brown the other side. Remove with tongs and transfer to paper towel lined plate to drain. To serve: Place 2 rellenos on each plate and remove the toothpicks and discard. Spoon the Ranchero Sauce over the rellenos and sprinkle the cheese over. For the Ranchero Sauce: Heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and saute until soft. Add the rest of the ingredients, increase the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil.
