Roasted Poblano Pepper Sliders Food

FELTNER BROTHERS' PARTY SLIDERS

Steps:

• For the sliders: In a large bowl, combine the beef with some garlic powder, paprika, thyme, Worcestershire, salt and pepper and gently mix. Measure out the beef mixture in a 1/3-cup measure to ensure equal slider size. Roll the measured beef mixture into balls.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat and smash the balls in the skillet to create slider patties. Cook to medium, then choose from the following topping combinations.
• For the shroom swissalaka sliders: Add slices of Swiss cheese to the sliders in the skillet and let the cheese melt. Top with Feltner Sauce, Grilled Onions and Dad's Mushrooms and serve.
• For the brobecue sliders: Add slices of Cheddar to the sliders in the skillet and let the cheese melt. Top with Feltner Sauce, Grilled Onions, BBQ sauce and bacon and serve.
• For the guac-this-way sliders: Add slices of Cheddar and pepper Jack cheese to the sliders in the skillet and let the cheese melt. Top with Feltner Sauce, guacamole, lettuce, tomato and tortilla chips and serve.
• Combine the mayonnaise, ketchup and sriracha in a bowl and mix together.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, salt, pepper and garlic powder and stir. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and start to caramelize, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Melt the butter in a slow cooker on high. When the butter is melted, add the soup and season with salt and pepper. Stir the soup, then add the mushrooms. Coat the mushrooms with the soup, add the lid to the slow cooker and cook on high, stirring occasionally, for 5 hours.
• Remove the lid and continue to cook on high, uncovered, for 2 more hours to cook down the sauce and allow it to thicken. Continue stirring occasionally. A small amount of liquid should be present upon completion. Reduce the temperature to low or warm for serving during the party. The sauce will continue to thicken during this time.

ROASTED POBLANO MAYO

Steps:

• Roast the whole poblano over an open flame on your stove-top until all sides are charred black, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Let rest in a paper bag until cool, about 15 minutes. Peel off the charred skin, and then remove the stem, seeds and ribs. Puree the pepper in a food processor until smooth, about 10 to 15 seconds. Stir together the pureed poblano with the mayo, honey, cumin, garlic and some salt.
• In a food processor, process the egg yolks, lemon juice and Dijon for 10 seconds. Slowly stream in the oil while the food processor is running, until emulsified, 25 to 30 seconds, scraping down sides if necessary. Season with salt.

CHEESY POBLANO SLIDERS

Steps:

• Roast the poblanos over an open flame or under the broiler, turning as necessary, until charred all over, about 8 minutes. Place in a medium bowl and cover with a plate to steam and loosen the skin, about 5 minutes. When cooled, peel off the blackened outer skin, remove the seeds and stems and discard. Slice the poblanos into thin strips. Set aside.
• Set an oven rack as close as possible to the broiler. Heat the broiler to high.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until slightly softened and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the poblanos and cook until everything is very soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the crema and Oaxaca cheese and cook until the cheese is just melted. Reduce the heat to low, season with 1 teaspoon salt and keep warm.
• Combine the melted butter, chipotle powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Split the slider buns, put on a baking sheet cut-side up and brush evenly with the butter mixture. Broil until golden around the edges, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.
• Place the beef patties on the baking sheet and season generously with salt and pepper. Broil to desired doneness, about 4 minutes for medium.
• Put a patty on each bottom bun. Spoon some of the poblano sauce over each and top with a tomato slice and cilantro leaves. Close the sliders with the top buns.

GRILLED STUFFED POBLANOS

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor grill for indirect grilling, lighting burners on just one side or pushing lit coals to one side. Preheat to medium-high heat (375 to 400 degrees F (180 to 200 degrees C)). Lightly oil grill grates over lit side.
• Grill poblanos and corn, covered, turning occasionally, until poblano skins and corn are charred, about 10 minutes. Keep grill lit.
• Transfer poblanos to a large bowl, cover, and let stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, let corn stand until cool enough to handle; cut kernels from cobs.
• Remove and discard poblano skins, keeping stems intact. Make a lengthwise slit down one side of each poblano, starting at stem and being careful not to cut through to other side. Remove and discard seeds and membranes.
• Stir together beans, corn kernels, cilantro, oregano, garlic, salt, cumin, and black pepper in a large bowl. Spoon about 1/2 cup bean mixture into each pepper, enclosing pepper around the filling.
• For the cheese sauce, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; whisk in flour. Cook, stirring until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in milk; simmer, stirring, until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in cheese until melted. Remove from heat and keep warm, stirring occasionally.
• Lightly oil grill grate over unlit side of grill. Grill stuffed poblanos, covered, until filling is heated through, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Serve immediately with cheese sauce; pico de gallo; and (if using) cilantro, lime wedges, and/or radishes. Garnish with chili powder.
