SPICY CHORIZO STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS WITH CHEESE

Steps:

• *If you can't find a package of ground Chorizo sausage, buy them whole and remove the casings before cooking.
• In a large pan on medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Put the ground Chorizo in the pan, and break it all up so it can cook evenly. Stir occasionally and continue cooking as you work on the ingredients.
• Meanwhile, start a large pot of salted water to boil.
• While you are waiting for the water to boil, start preparing your Poblano peppers. Slice the tops off of the pepper, and scoop out the inner seeds. Discard the seeds, but save the tops of the peppers.
• Add the Poblano peppers to the boiling water, and set up an ice bath ready on the side. After about 8 minutes, plunge them in the ice water.
• Start another pan on medium heat with a tablespoon of olive oil.
• Take the reserved tops of the Poblano peppers and trim off the stem and inedible parts. Mince the remaining pepper.
• Add the pepper and chopped onion to the pan. Saute a few minutes, then add the chopped red bell pepper. Saute for a few minutes longer.
• Next, add the rice, and mix all together. Stir in the tomato paste and water.
• Add the cooked Chorizo sausage and stir well.
• Season with salt and pepper or seasoning salt to your liking. Finish with a squeeze of half of lime.
• Remove the peppers from the ice bath and shake off excess water. Have a 13 x 9 pan ready, and begin stuffing each pepper with the mixture. Lay the stuffed peppers in the pan.
• Pour the enchilada sauce over all the peppers, allowing excess to drip into the pan.
• Sprinkle cheese evenly over the tops of the peppers.

CHORIZO & QUINOA STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS WITH ADOBO CHILE T

Steps:

• Tomato sauce:.
• Put diced tomatoes, garlic, and chipotle peppers into a food processor or blender and blend until relatively smooth. Pour sauce into a medium saucepan, add sugar, and bring to bubbling and then simmer on medium-low while you prepare the rest of the recipe (about 15-20 minutes). Stir occasionally.
• Filling:.
• Brown chorizo sausage in a large saute pan or skillet with 1 t chili powder, oregano, and cumin. Remove and set aside.
• Pour olive oil into the same pan over medium-high heat and add onion/bell pepper. Saute about 5 minutes, until soft. Add diced tomato and cook for about 2-3 more minutes. Stir in quinoa, chorizo, tomato and remaining teaspoon of chili powder . Mix well.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spread half of the tomato sauce in a large casserole dish. Stuff the peppers with the chorizo/quinoa mixture and arrange them in the casserole dish. Ladle the remaining sauce over the peppers and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake covered for 30 minutes. Then uncover and bake another 5-10 minutes.
• Garnish with sour cream, diced avocado, and serve with refried black beans and tortilla chips or tortillas.

STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS

Steps:

• Set the rice to cook. (Usually one cup of rice requires 2 cups of water, but the amount of water varies by type of rice--check your package. Add rice to boiling water, bring to a boil again while stirring, and then cover and simmer on low, stirring occasionally until water is absorbed.).
• Wash the peppers. Sear under a broiler. If your broiler is a separate unit under your stove (like mine is), and you can't control the distance away from it, then you'll want to cut your peppers in half lengthwise first, and broil them rounded side up. If you can give them 4 or 5 inches from the broiler, then you can broil them whole, turning them every few minutes, and cut them afterwards. Either way, broil the peppers until the skin is blistered and blackened (10-20 minutes).
• While the peppers are cooking, mince the garlic and fry in the olive oil on low-medium heat in a medium-sized pan, for 5 minutes. During this you can chop the onion and cilantro.
• Turn the heat to medium, and add the soy-rizo, and cook for 3-5 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the cooking wine, getting all of the soy-rizo off of the bottom.
• Drain most of the liquid from the canned tomatoes, and add them, cooking for 2-3 minutes. While the tomatoes are cooking add the spices. Green peppercorns are optional because not everyone has them, and serranos are optional because not everyone will want the extra spice. If you don't use green peppercorn, I'd recommend black pepper (crushed) to give it some of that flavor.
• About this time, both the rice and the peppers should be finishing. Add the rice to the other sauce ingredients to taste (I ended up using about half. If you like your food more calm, you can add more, or you can use less to get more of a kick). Add the onion (raw).
• Place the peppers cut-side-up on a dish, and spoon in the filling. We ate 4 of the halves before I got to take a picture--they were that good! But they look very presentable if you arrange them around the rim of a round plate, narrow ends facing the center.

STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS

Steps:

• To Prepare Peppers:.
• Preheat broiler. Fill large bowl or sink with ice cold water.
• On a foil covered rack in broiler, arrange peppers about a 1/2 inch from each other and broil about 2 inches from heat, turning peppers occasionally with tongs until skins are blistered and lightly charred, about 20 minutes. Place roasted peppers straight from the broiler into the ice cold bowl water. Turn your oven off of broil and your oven on at 400 degrees.
• While peppers are broiling, shred jack cheese and place in refrigerator until ready to stuff peppers.
• Remove peppers from water and peel the blistered skin. Once all skin is removed and discarded, cut the tops off peppers and remove the stems and seeds and slice down one side to create a opening for stuffing. Place peppers on cookie sheet and set aside while preparing your ground beef taco meat.
• To Prepare Filling:.
• Heat a heavy skillet over moderate heat unit hot, but not smoking and brown ground beef. Drain the browned ground beef, and place back into the heated skillet, add the burrito season (lawry's is preferred) and follow the instructions on the back of the package, will take about 15 minutes.
• To Stuff Peppers:.
• Keep peppers on cookie sheet while stuffing.
• Place about 3 tablespoons full of ground beef on bottom of peppers and a thin layer of shredded jack cheese on top of ground beef and repeat (you should have 1 layer meat 1 layer cheese 1 layer meat and 1 layer cheese) Pull sides of peppers together until they lap over each other (appearing closed). Now place peppers in the 400 degree oven for 20 minutes or until cheese is completely melted.

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!
