Stuffed Chiles With Mashed Potatoes Food

STUFFED POBLANO CHILES WITH AVOCADO AND POTATOES

Steps:

• 1. Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and add lightly salted water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the potatoes are tender about 30 minutes. Drain and let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel the potatoes and place in a medium bowl. Mash the potatoes, leaving them a bit lumpy
• 2. Make a lengthwise cut in each chile and remove the seeds. Combine the mashed potatoes, avocados, olive oil, and ground peppercorns in a medium bowl and season with the salt. Stuff the chiles with the potato mixture. Place in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
• 3. To roast the garlic: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Bring the garlic and milk to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, then boil for 3 minutes, taking care that the milk does not boil over. Drain the garlic in a sieve, discarding the milk. In a small bowl, toss the garlic cloves in the olive oil. Spread the garlic in a single layer on a baking sheet and cover with aluminum foil. Roast until tender and golden, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
• 4. To make the marinade: Bring the water and piloncillo or brown sugar to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Boil, stirring often, until the sugar is dissolved and the water is reduced to 1 cup, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• 5. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it begins to soften, about 1 minute. Add the sugar water, vinegar, oregano, peppercorns, cloves, allspice, and bay leaves and bring to a simmer (do not boil). Remove from the heat, add the roasted garlic, and let cool completely. Pour the marinade over the chiles, cover, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to 12 hours.
• 6. To serve, remove the chiles from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature. Place a single chile on each plate, along with some of the marinade, including some of the onion and garlic cloves.

CHEESE AND CHILE-STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Remove the stems from the mushrooms and coarsely chop them. Scrape the gills from the underside of the mushroom caps using a spoon; discard.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter, half of the scallions, the poblano and garlic and cook, stirring, until the poblano is soft, about 4 minutes. Add the mushroom stems and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup wheat germ and cook 1 minute. Remove from the heat; stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper.
• Stuff the mushroom caps with one-quarter each of the mozzarella and poblano mixture and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon wheat germ and generously spray with cooking spray. Bake until the mushrooms are tender and the wheat germ is golden, about 20 minutes. Top with the sour cream, jalapeno and the remaining scallions.

MASHED POTATO STUFFED CHILES RELLENOS

Steps:

• Pour purée into a saucepan and bring sauce to boil. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Roast the chiles on a hot dry pan or in a 375° oven until mostly blackened on each side.
• Place the chiles in a plastic grocery bag for approximately 30 minutes.
• Peel the blackened skin from the chiles with your fingers; it's not important to get every bit of the skin off.
• Carefully slice each chile from the base of the stem to bottom. Remove most of the seeds and membranes.
• Mix Idahoan® Mashed Potatoes with 1 ¾ cup boiling water. Blend until smooth.
• Stir all but ¼ cup of the crumbled cheese into potatoes and stuff the peppers dividing the mixture evenly amongst the four chiles.

• Place each flour coated chili in egg batter and cover completely.
• Heat a pan with ½" deep oil to medium high. Add chilies two at a time and fry until golden brown, using a large spoon to carefully bathe hot oil on the top of each to brown. Repeat with the other two chiles. Drain on paper towels.
• Spoon sauce onto a serving plates and place each chile relleno on top.
• Top with remaining sauce and cheese.

DOUBLE-YUMMY CHILI STUFFED BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• To make the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Set the potatoes directly on the rack in the center of the oven and bake until easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, make the chili: Preheat a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, then add the oil. Add the onion, garlic, and salt, and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the ancho chile, oregano, cumin, coriander, and cloves and cook, stirring, until dark and fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add the tomato paste and chipotle. Using your hands, crush the tomatoes while adding them to the saucepan and cook, stirring, until the chipotle and tomato mixture is dark red, about 2 minutes. Add the beef, break it up with a wooden spoon, and cook, stirring occasionally, until well-browned, about 3 minutes. Add the beans and beer and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick and fragrant, about 15 minutes. Lay the potatoes on the side they naturally roll to, and carefully cut a shallow oval out of the tops to make 6 lids. Gently scrape most of the potato pulp out of the lids and transfer to a large bowl. Reserve the lids. Carefully scoop out the insides from only 4 of the potatoes into the large bowl, leaving the shells intact. Scoop out the pulp from the remaining 2 potatoes into a small bowl and reserve for another use. (See Cook's Note.) Add 1/2 cup of the cheese, butter, salt, and scallion to the large bowl of pulp and mash lightly with a fork. Season with pepper, to taste. Lightly season the insides of the shells and lids with salt and pepper. Refill them with the potato mixture, pressing it into the bottom and against the sides.
• Set the filled potatoes on a baking sheet and fill each to the brim with some of the chili, mounding as much as you can on top (you'll need the rest for later). Mound the remaining 3/4 cup cheese over the potatoes. Place the potato lids skin-side down on the baking sheet. Bake until heated through and the cheese has melted and browned, about 12 minutes. Reheat the remaining chili. Transfer the stuffed potatoes to a serving platter and top each with a dollop of sour cream. Lean the potato lids against the sour cream and serve immediately, with the chili on the side for refills.

CHILI MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the cut potatoes into a pot filled with the cold water, bring to a boil, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until a fork or knife pierces the potato chunks easily.
• While the potatoes are cooking, put the cream, butter, salt, pepper, and chili paste into a saucepan. Heat the cream until the butter melts, but do not allow the mixture to boil. Keep the mixture warm until you are ready to add it to the potatoes.
• When the potatoes are fully cooked, drain in a colander for 5 minutes to remove all excess moisture. It is important to rice the potatoes while they are still hot, because cold potatoes will become rubbery and starchy. Fill the ricer no more than half full. Squeeze the hot potatoes through the ricer and into a stainless steel bowl, being careful that the potatoes do not squeeze out the top of the ricer, which would cause lumps in the mashed potatoes. When all of the potatoes have been riced, stir in the hot cream and butter mixture with a wooden spoon and fully incorporate the seasoning, cream, and butter into the potatoes. Add the chopped chives and serve promptly. If the mashed potatoes must be held a few minutes, keep warm in a double boiler or in a bowl covered with plastic wrap and placed over hot water.

STUFFED POTATOES WITH LENTIL CHILI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Prick the potatoes with a fork and microwave until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to the oven rack and bake until soft, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, finely chop the red onion. Put 2 tablespoons chopped onion in a small bowl; cover with cold water and let soak 10 minutes. Drain, pat dry and set aside for topping. Chop the poblano and grate the carrot.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining red onion, the poblano and carrot; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lentils, chili powder and cumin; cook until the spices are toasted, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are coated. Stir in the tomatoes and their juices, 1 1/2 cups water and a large pinch of salt. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Split the potatoes open. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Fluff the flesh with a fork. Sprinkle with half the cheese, then top with the chili. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and the reserved red onion.

POTATO STUFFED POBLANOS

Steps:

• Make potatoes as directed on box for stove-top directions, omitting milk and margarine. After simmering, remove from heat; stir in chiles and cream cheese.
• Meanwhile, cook poblano chiles directly on grate of gas stove about 5 minutes, turning with tongs or fork to cook all sides of skin. Place chiles in food-storage plastic bag 5 minutes. Peel chiles under cold water. Open on one side; remove and discard seeds.
• Heat oven to 350°F. Fill each poblano chile with potato mixture; place in ungreased 13x9-inch glass baking dish.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until filling is hot and chiles are soft. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve with salsa and sour cream.

POTATO STUFFED POBLANO CHILES

Steps:

• Set oven control to broil. Line cookie sheet with foil. Place poblano chiles on cookie sheet. Broil 8 minutes, turning once, until blackened. Place blackened chiles in bowl; cover tightly. Let stand 10 minutes. Peel off charred skin from chiles.
• Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, mix mashed potatoes, 1 cup of the corn, the cilantro, green chiles, cumin and 1/2 cup of the cheese. Cut slit down center of each poblano; stuff with potato mixture. Place in shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup corn and 1/4 cup cheese.
• Bake uncovered 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and tops are lightly browned.
