received this in an email. Yum! If you use fresh bread, it has an omelet like consistency; if you use stale bread, it yields a more custardy consistency.

Time 2h55m

Yield 1 strata, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large fresh poblano chiles
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium red onion, minced
1 lb sourdough bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 3/4 cups sour cream, plus more for topping if desired (1-pound container)
1/2 cup tomatillo salsa, plus more for topping if desired
1/4 cup minced cilantro
10 large eggs
3 1/2 cups half-and-half
1 tablespoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • If you have a gas stove, lay one poblano at a time over high heat, turning occasionally, until the skin is black on all sides, about 8 minutes. Repeat with each poblano. Alternatively, turn on the oven to high broil. Once heated, place poblanos on the top rack and broil until the skin is black on all sides, about 8 minutes. Place in a heatproof bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside until chiles are cool enough to handle, about 10 to 15 minutes. Peel off skins, remove seeds, and cut chiles into large dice.
  • Heat oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add onion, seasoning well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook until tender and translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.
  • Butter a 13-by-9-inch baking dish; set aside. In a large bowl, combine bread, poblanos, sour cream, onion, salsa, and cilantro until everything is coated in sour cream. Put mixture into the baking dish and set aside.
  • Whisk eggs with half-and-half in a separate large bowl; season with kosher salt and a good amount of freshly ground black pepper. Pour custard over bread mixture. Cover and refrigerate strata overnight.
  • Heat oven to 350°F Remove strata from the refrigerator about 20 to 30 minutes before you plan to bake it. Bake strata until it is puffed, golden brown, and slightly set in the center, about 50 to 55 minutes. Top with salsa and sour cream, as desired. Serve hot.

CHICKEN CHILE RELLENOS



Chicken Chile Rellenos image

From the famous Reata restauant in Fort Worth, TX. ("Reata-Legendary Texas Cuisine" cookbook.) With a large enough pan, you can use three whole chickens (leave skin on) in place of purchasing the legs and thighs separately. If you're short on time, go ahead and use two store-bought rotisserie chickens in place of the Shredded Chicken. Drizzling the top of each relleno with some of our Creme Fraiche and a scoop of guacamole will mellow the pepper just enough to keep from setting your mouth on fire. Believe it or not, some folks evn batter and fry these. If decadence is your thing, just dredge in some egg and buttermilk wash and seasoned flour a few times ti make a generous crust before your fry. Regardless, we say serve with your favorite Spanish rice and some Ranch-Style Beans.

CHILES RELLENOS



Chiles Rellenos image

This recipe for chiles rellenos comes from Andrea Serrato, who sells an exquisite version of the dish out of her home in East Los Angeles. Ms. Serrato learned to make it from her mother, Rose Serrato, who fills big chile poblanos simply with queso ranchero, fries them in a cloudlike batter and simmers them in a garlicky salsa roja. Be sure to take your time charring the chiles on the flame to make sure they get evenly tender. The dish is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but extremely worthwhile - delicious, comforting and beautiful, too.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 chiles

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 serrano chiles, stems removed
6 beefsteak tomatoes (about 4 pounds)
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as grapeseed or canola
1 white onion, peeled and sliced into thin rings
6 large, firm poblano chiles (about 1 3/4 pounds)
12 ounces queso fresco or low-moisture melting cheese, such as mozzarella
5 large eggs, yolks and whites separated
Canola oil, for frying
2 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Prepare the tomato salsa: Put a large pot of water on to boil. When the water starts to bubble, add the serrano chiles and whole tomatoes, and turn down the heat. After 10 minutes of low simmering, strain.
  • Add the serranos, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt to a blender with 1/2 cup water, and purée until smooth. Add the tomatoes, then purée until almost totally smooth. (Some larger pieces of tomato are fine, and give the salsa texture.)
  • In a large saucepan that will hold all of the salsa, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook until soft and slightly golden on the edges, about 5 minutes, then add the salsa and turn off the heat.
  • Prepare the chiles: Using tongs, char two poblanos at a time over the open gas flame (or all six under your broiler, turning them often). The chiles should be blackened all over, and tender to the touch, which takes about 10 minutes. As you finish them, put them on a plate and cover for about 10 minutes.
  • Use your finger to gently push and peel away the blackened outer skin of the charred chile. Remove as much as you can, but it's OK if a few small pieces are left; don't worry about it. Use a knife to slice each chile lengthwise, leaving an inch or so on each end, and remove the seeds (again, it's OK if some remain). Fill the chiles with cheese to fit, but make sure the chile can still close along its seam when you pinch it shut.
  • Prepare the batter: Separate the eggs, and beat the whites with a whisk attachment until thick and frothy, like meringue. Add the yolks, and beat for another minute, just to incorporate.
  • Fry the chiles: In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, heat about 3 inches of oil over medium until a small drop of batter sizzles vigorously when you add it to the oil. Put the flour on a plate, and roll a chile in the flour so it's completely covered. Push it down into the batter, turn it around gently, and use the stem to pull it out - it will look like a vaguely chile-shaped cloud.
  • Gently lay the chile down in the hot oil, seam side up. The chile should immediately start to sizzle and lightly color. Spoon hot oil over any exposed parts of the chile, cooking for about 2 minutes, or until the top of the chile is evenly golden brown, then remove and place on a paper-towel-lined rack to drain. Repeat with each chile.
  • When you're ready to sit down and eat, heat the salsa over medium, and season it to taste with salt. Place the fried chiles in the pan. (Work in batches if you have to, so the chiles aren't crowded.) Let them simmer gently for a few minutes, then serve immediately with extra salsa spooned over the top.

CHILES RELLENOS

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
1 to 2 teaspoons green chile hot sauce
Zest and juice of 1 lime
Kosher salt
12 ounces Mexican-style raw chorizo, removed from casing
1 small yellow onion, diced
4 large poblano chiles, stems intact
One 10-ounce ball Oaxaca cheese, hand shredded or pulled into 2-inch pieces
1 cup canola oil
4 large eggs, separated
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
One 7-ounce box yellow rice mix, optional, cooked according to package instructions

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack directly underneath the broiler and preheat the broiler.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the Mexican crema, hot sauce, lime zest and juice and salt to taste; stir to combine. Set aside to let the flavors meld together.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chorizo and onions, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside until ready to stuff the roasted poblanos.
  • Place the poblanos on a baking sheet and broil, turning once, until the skin is blistered and blackened, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Put the charred poblanos in a medium heatproof bowl, then cover with plastic wrap and let steam for 10 minutes. Peel and rub away the skins of the poblanos, then gently dry using a paper towel. Cut a 2-inch lengthwise slit in the center of each poblano and carefully cut out the seeds with kitchen shears, leaving the stems intact.
  • Stuff each poblano with the chorizo and cheese, dividing evenly. Gently close the opening using 2 to 3 toothpicks to keep the filling from falling out.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 375 degrees F. Position a wire rack on a baking sheet.
  • Meanwhile, add the egg whites to a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat until medium peaks form. With the mixer on low, add the egg yolks and 1 tablespoon flour and mix until completely incorporated. The batter should be smooth and fluffy.
  • Sprinkle the poblanos with salt, then dredge in the remaining 1/2 cup flour, tapping to shake off any excess; dip into the batter until fully coated. Gently add the poblano to the hot oil and fry in batches to not overcrowd the skillet. Cook until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to the wire rack to drain. Serve warm on a platter and drizzle with the spicy lime crema and a side of yellow rice, if using.
