Grilled Chiles Rellenos With Corn Goat Cheese And Cilantro Sau Food

CHILE RELLENO RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat 1/3 cup corn oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
• Finely chop the onion and garlic in a food processor.
• Saute the onion and garlic mixture in corn oil until translucent and golden, and almost caramelized. This will take at least 10 minutes.
• Mix the 1/3 cup flour into the onions and garlic, and stir cooking until flour is lightly browned.
• Place the Roma tomatoes in a food processor and puree. You should have about 1 1/2 cups pureed tomatoes.
• Add the jalapeno pepper and onion/garlic/flour mixture from saucepan into the food processor with the tomatoes. Make sure to submerge the onion and garlic roux into the puree.
• Process everything until all the ingredients are finely pureed.
• Pour that sauce back into the same saucepan, and add 5 cups of water and 2 teaspoons of salt.
• Crush a teaspoon and a half of Mexican oregano between your fingers and add it along with the fresh ground pepper, bay leaf, a pinch of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of ground cloves.
• Bring mixture to a boil while whisking.
• Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for about 45 minutes, or until you have a nice thick sauce. Cover the saucepan slightly vented so steam can escape, and whisk the sauce occasionally.
• You can keep the sauce warm over lowest heat, whisking as needed to refresh consistency until served, or reheat and stir before serving.
• Keep the pepper stems intact and place on a grill or under broiler cooking on each side until evenly blistered and slightly blackened.
• Immediately place the peppers into a large plastic bag and allow to steam for about three minutes.
• Carefully slide the skin off of each pepper and discard.
• Cut a slit lengthwise down the side of each pepper (you need it just big enough to slip a stick of cheese in.
• Carefully cup each pepper with one hand and gently run water into the slit to flush out the seeds.
• Combine 4 cups water, 4 teaspoons salt, and 1/3 cup white vinegar, and soak the chiles in this brine for a few minutes.
• Cut your cheese into 6 long thin sticks.
• Remove chiles from brine and blot dry with paper towels.
• Stuff each chile with one cheese stick by slipping into the pepper slit. Don't panic if you tear a chile, flour and the egg batter will seal it up.
• Pour 2 cups oil into an electric wok or an electric skillet and set heat control to 365°F. If you're confident in the kitchen, feel free to use a heavy duty pot on the stove with a thermoteter to monitor your temperature.
• Measure 1/2 cup flour into a sifter or fine mesh collander and dust each of the chiles well with flour on all sides. For torn chiles, apply some extra flour at the seam then slightly overlap the tear.
• Beat egg whites and a pinch of salt with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
• Beat egg yolks in another bowl with one tablespoon flour and 3/4 teaspoon salt.
• Pour the yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites and fold together lightly but thoroughly (with a rubber spatula) while keeping the whites fluffy.
• Use a rubber spatula "frost" a stuffed and floured chile.
• Hold chile by the stem and place carefully into the hot oil. Repeat with additional chiles, frying only 2 or 3 at a time.
• Fry the chiles until golden on all sides, turning once with a skimmer or coated tongs until done. It takes about 5 minutes to fry completely.
• Drain the peppers between paper towels. If not serving immediately, you can reheat them individually in a microwave for 15-20 seconds.
• Make a pool of warm sauce on the plate and add a chile. Top with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh chopped cilantro.

Steps:

• Place the peppers on a plate, and cook in the microwave for about 5 minutes, until just pliable. Do not peel. Set aside to cool.
• Place the potatoes and onion into a large glass or ceramic dish, and add a few tablespoons of water. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap, and cook in the microwave until the potatoes are beginning to soften and the onions are transparent, 8 to 10 minutes. Uncover, and stir. Set aside to cool slightly while you start the sauce.
• In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatoes and peanut butter. Process until smooth, then pour into a saucepan. Stir in the garlic, cumin and oregano. Warm over low heat, and cover with a lid to avoid spattering. Cook for about 15 minutes to blend the flavors together.
• Preheat a grill for medium-high heat. Mix the cheese into the potatoes and onions. Slit the peppers down one side, and fill with the potato mixture. I like to leave the seeds in because the peppers have more flavor that way, but you can take them out if you like. Brush the peppers with olive oil.
• Grill peppers for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the outsides are slightly charred. Cut in half to serve, and spoon the sauce over them.
