Grilled Cheese Stuffed Poblano Peppers Food

STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS WITH CREAM CHEESE

Steps:

• Get a grill going good and hot, to about medium-high heat.
• Lightly oil the poblano peppers and set them on the grill. Close the lid. Flip the poblanos a few times throughout as you grill, about 10 minutes or so, until the poblano skins are nicely charred. Remove from heat and cool. Set them into a sealable baggie and allow them to steam. Cool, then remove and peel off the skins. (Alternatively, you can either oven roast or flame roast the poblano peppers. See the post discussion.).
• Slit the poblanos up the side and open. Scoop out the insides.
• In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, and salt and pepper. Mix well.
• Stuff the cheese into the poblano peppers and set them back onto the grill over indirect heat. Close the lid and cook about 10 minutes to allow the cheeses to melt. Alternatively, you can bake the cream cheese stuffed poblano peppers for 10 minutes or so in an oven at 375 degrees.
• Remove and set onto serving plates. Squeeze lime juice over them and garnish with chopped cilantro.
• Serve and enjoy!

• Stuff each poblano pepper with 1.5 ounces each of cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese.
• Set back onto the grill over indirect heat and cook about 6-8 minutes, or until cheese is nice and melted.

GRILLED STUFFED POBLANOS

Steps:

• On a preheated grill roast your poblanos for about 10 minutes or until the skins begin to blister and char. Place into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for about 5 minutes. In a medium skillet add the butter and saute the onion and red bell pepper until soft for about 5 minutes. Once cooked place into a medium bowl. In the same cleaned skillet toast the pepita seeds for about 3 minutes. Place into bowl with onions, peppers, diced tomato, cooked rice, salt, pepper and cilantro. Mix well. Carefully remove skins from poblanos. With a paring knife or your fingernail (the poblano with be tender), make a slit in the poblano from bottom to top. Pull and discard the seeds and inner membranes, being careful not to tear the rest of the poblano. With a spoon stuff poblanos with rice mixture. Top with cheese. Cover a section of the grill with foil and place the poblanos back on the grill for about 5 to 10 minutes until cheese melts. Top with a dollop of sour cream.
• Boil 2 cups salted water. Add rice, cover and lower heat. Cook for about 15 minutes. Fluff with fork when done.

STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS

Steps:

• Turn a gas stove burner to high. Hold poblano peppers directly on the flame with a pair of tongs and turn until skins are charred. Let peppers cool. Leaving peppers as close to whole as possible, remove skins, seeds, membranes, and stems.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Cook and stir until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef; cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in chili pepper, cumin, salt, and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place peppers in a nonstick casserole dish. Insert a slice of Cheddar cheese and a slice of Monterey Jack cheese into each pepper. Spoon some ground beef mixture into each pepper. Place the remaining beef on top of the peppers, and cover with enchilada sauce. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle grated Cheddar cheese on top of the peppers. Bake until peppers are bubbly and fragrant, another 45 minutes.

GRILLED STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Cut peppers in half lengthwise; remove stems and seeds. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine the tomato, cheeses, basil and oregano. Crumble sausage over mixture and mix well. Spoon into pepper halves. , Prepare grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan. Place peppers over drip pan. Grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 30-35 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink and peppers are tender. Sprinkle with additional cheese.

FOUR-CHEESE STUFFED GRILLED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Wash and dry the peppers, then with a small paring knife, cut the top almost all of the way around, leaving it attached but providing a large enough hole to get most of the membrane and seeds out. Carefully lift the top back and remove the membrane bits and seeds inside; discard. (If you accidentally break the top all of the way off, don't worry! We'll address that in a bit.)
• In a small bowl with a fork, mix together the ricotta, herbed goat cheese, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Add the salt and pepper to taste.
• Using the fork, scoop the cheese mixture inside each pepper, filling the pepper. Replace the top and secure with one or two toothpicks (or if the top broke all the way off, just fasten it back on).
• Grill peppers on medium-high heat, about 375 degrees, turning occasionally with tongs. Cook for about 8 - 10 minutes, or until the peppers blister and have blackened lines on all sides, and the cheese mixture inside is piping hot.
• Transfer the peppers to plates and serve.
• You can make these ahead, too - refrigerate up to 24 hours. Just bring them to room temperature - some time on the counter for about 30 minutes should suffice - before grilling.

CHORIZO STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chorizo in hot oil until completely browned and broken into small pieces, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; stir rice, onion, 1/4 cup taco sauce, Cheddar cheese, and cumin with the chorizo until evenly mixed.
• Fill poblano pepper halves with the chorizo mixture; place in a small casserole dish or a pie pan. Drizzle 1 tablespoon taco sauce over each pepper. Pour water into bottom of the dish; cover loosely with aluminum foil.
• Bake in preheated oven until peppers are tender, about 1 hour.

SAUSAGE AND CHEESE-STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS WITH QUICK-PICKLED RED ONIONS AND RADISHES

Steps:

• Position a rack on the top of the oven and preheat to broil.
• Combine the vinegar, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/3 cup warm water in a mason jar. Cover and shake to combine until the sugar and salt dissolve. Add the onions and radishes and set aside.
• Drizzle the oil over the peppers, season with 1 teaspoon salt and arrange on a baking sheet cut-side up. Broil on the upper rack of the oven until blistered and softened, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Mix together the pork, garlic, paprika, chili powder, cumin and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Transfer to a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook, breaking up the pork into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain the excess fat and set aside to cool.
• Stir half of the cheese into the pork. Distribute the mixture evenly in the cavities of the peppers. Top with remaining cheese and broil until melted and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Top with the pickled onions and radishes. Garnish with cilantro and enjoy!
