Steps:
- 1. Char the chiles on both sides. You can do this over a gas flame or under the broiler. Once blackened, put them in a plastic bag for 10 minutes to sweat out any moisture. Remove from the bag, slit them down the middle and remove the seeds and pile off the charred skin.. If you are short on time, just use whole canned chiles, slit them down the middle, remove the seeds and gently rinse them.
- 2. Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Add the egg whites to a large bowl. Reserve the egg yolks. Beat the egg whites with an electric beater until they peak. Do the same thing with the yolks. Then gently fold together until they are incorporated.
- 3. Next stuff the Chiles with the cheese (you can also add shrimp) fold shut and dredge in the flour, then dip in the egg mixture coating both sides.
- 4. Next fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove from the oil to a serving platter and salt to taste.
- 5. You can serve these plain or with your favorite salsa. Enjoy

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Brush peppers with 2 tablespoons of the oil (reserving the balance of the oil) and roast until blackened, about 10 minutes. Remove and cover roasting pan with foil or use tongs to transfer peppers to a plastic bag. Let "sweat" for 15 minutes. This will help you remove the skin from the pepper.
- In a small bowl, mix jack cheese, goat cheese, thyme, rosemary, and sage, and mash together.
- Peel charred skin from peppers and stuff each pepper with about 2 tablespoons of the cheese/herb mixture. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Spread blue cornmeal on a piece of waxed paper and roll stuffed peppers to coat with cornmeal. Sear coated peppers on all sides, leaving undisturbed for the first 2 minutes to allow the cornmeal to integrate into the surface of the peppers and to allow the caramelization process to begin to prevent crusting off of the cornmeal.
- Transfer to a platter and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
CHILES RELLENOS (MEXICAN DISH) STUFF CHILE POBLANO WITH MILD CHEDDAR CHEESE COVER WITH HOMEMADE SIMMER FRESH MEXICAN SALSA
This is my all time most requested Mexican dish. My Mother was a master in making sure that the egg white was really fluffy for the coating of the chile as a child I was fascinated by. My friends enjoy the dish not only for the rich flavors of Homemade Mexican sauce but also for the spice of the chile blended with the cheese. I...

Steps:
- 1. Roast the chiles Roast the chiles on a hot grill, or in a broiler on high heat. Turn them occasionally until the skins are blackened and charred. When the skin of the chiles is sufficiently charred and blistered, remove from the heat and let them cool to room temperature so you don't burn yourself. Peel the skin from the cooled chile, rinsing your fingers if they become sticky. Be careful to not tear the chile while peeling it.
- 2. Remove the seeds Roasted chiles are very soft, and tear easily. You are going to make a small slice into the side of the chile, just big enough to get a spoon into, about 2-3 inches. (Or use an existing tear if there is one.) Insert the spoon into the chile and scrape the seeds and the white membrane out, try to not tear the chiles flesh any more than possible.
- 3. Stuff the chiles Place a slice of cheese into the chile, or spoon the filling in, but don't force it. If the cheese is too large, trim it down until it fits inside. Don't over-stuff it. Make sure the open edges of the chile still come together.
- 4. Prepare the chiles This step is optional for those that have difficulty with the egg batter sticking to the chile. Try to make them without this step at first. Place half of the flour on the bottom of a plate. Place the chiles on the flour and sprinkle the rest of the flour on top. Use your finger to make sure the entire chile is coated. Dust off remaining flour and set chiles aside. If you rinsed your chiles in water, or if you are using canned chiles you may need to do this to help the batter to stick.
- 5. Prepare batter For a simple batter, whip 3-6 cold egg whites in a chilled bowl until they are stiff. Stir up the remaining yolks and slowly fold them in with a pinch of salt. Use approximately 2 large eggs for each pound of chiles, or 1 egg per extra-large chile.
- 6. Cook chiles One at a time, hold the chiles by the stem and support the bottom with your fingers or a spoon, and dip the stuffed chiles into the batter. Carefully place them into a pan with 1 1/2 inches of hot oil. Cook each side until batter is a crisp golden brown.
- 7. Drain excess oil Remove chiles from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with your favorite salsa.
- 8. Homemade Simmer Fresh Mexican salsa: Low fire/ In a medium skillet: Sautee Chop onion (small pieces)
- 9. Add fresh chop tomatoes (small pieces)
- 10. Add pinch of salt and pepper to taste
- 11. Simmer at low heat until sauce is soupy
- 12. Pour sauce on top of the chiles in an oven glass tray
- 13. Sprinkle Mild cheddar cheese and Cotija cheese (Mexican version of parmesan cheese)
- 14. Place in oven (350) cover with foil paper for 20 minutes or until cheese has melted

- 9. Pour this mixture evenly over the dish.
- 10. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes until it is set.
- 11. Add some cheese to the top about ten minutes before the dish is done. If the dish is not brown enough when cooking time ends, turn the oven on broil, watch carefully so it doesn't burn, only takes about five minutes or so.
- 12. Cut into squares to serve and top with sour cream black olives and chopped green onions. Enjoy!

CHICKEN CHILE RELLENOS
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.

Steps:
- Place the oil in a braising pan and heat over a piping hot grill. When the oil begins to sizzle, add the chicken. Cover with water, making sure the chicken remains submerged throughout the cooking process.
- Generously sprinkle with salt and cumin. Lower the heat to medium-high, so the water continues to simmer. Move the braising pan to the grill and continue cooking for 30-45 minutes over a medium grill,
- replenishing water in the pan as needed.
- The chicken is done when it is firm and white on the outside, and when you slice into it, there is no pink.

MIGAS-FILLED CHILE RELLENOS WITH PULLED CHICKEN, TOMATO SALSA AND CHIUHAHA SAUCE
Steps:
- For the pulled chicken: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Season the chicken with the ancho chile powder, salt and pepper. Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a medium high-sided ovenproof saute pan over high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown. Add the chicken broth and barbecue sauce, bring to simmer, cover and cook in the oven until fork-tender, about 1 hour.
- Remove the chicken from the pan, loosely cover and let rest for 15 minutes. Reduce the cooking liquid in the pan over medium-high heat until about 1/2 cup remains. Shred the chicken with a fork into bite-size pieces. Return the chicken to the pan and toss to coat in the mixture. Reserve.
- For the chiles: Increase the oven to 375 degrees F. Toss the poblanos with the oil, salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and roast, turning occasionally, until blackened and soft, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam. Once cool enough to handle, scrape off the skins. Make a long slash in one side of each poblano, from stem to tip. Carefully remove and discard the seeds. Reserve.
- For the tortillas: Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Heat the oil in a medium high-sided saute pan over medium heat until it begins to shimmer. Fry the 1/2-inch tortilla strips in batches, until just crisp, 20 to 30 seconds. Transfer with a slotted spoon to one side of the prepared baking sheet and season with salt. Fry the julienned tortillas and transfer with a slotted spoon to the other side of the baking sheet and season with salt. Reserve.
- For the cooked tomato salsa: Combine the tomatoes, jalapeno, garlic and 1/2 cup water in a blender and blend until smooth. Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat until it just begins to shimmer. Add the pureed tomato mixture, oregano, salt and pepper and cook until the mixture thickens slightly and becomes a deep red, about 15 minutes. Reserve.
- For the migas-filled chile rellenos: Put the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until reduced by half; do not let it boil. Whisk in the cheese until melted; season with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm over very low heat.
- Melt the butter and oil in a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the jalapeno and cook for 1 minute. Add the eggs, season with salt and pepper and stir with a heat-proof rubber spatula until small curds form. Remove from the heat and fold in the pulled chicken, cilantro and 1/2-inch tortilla strips. Fill the roasted poblanos with the mixture.
- To serve, spoon some of the cooked tomato salsa onto 8 large dinner plates, top each with a chile relleno and drizzle with some of the cheese sauce. Garnish with the julienned tortillas and cilantro leaves.

Steps:
- 1. I roast the chilies on the BBQ grill, roast them til they are blistered but not burned on all sides, when you think they are done place them in a plastic bag and sweat for at least 10 minutes. Take one chili out of the bag and very gently peel the skin off starting at the top where the stem is, place on a paper towel,continue till they are all done, now take a knife and slit the chilies down from the stem to the bottom careful not to cut through the other side, now cut the seeds out and the wipe the chili with paper towel to get the rest of the seeds, be very careful so as not to break them, I use a few extra chilies just in case they get ruined when you do this process.
- 2. now place the cut up cheese stick in the chili and close, I use tooth picks to hold in place. You want enough cheese in side the chili to make, I cut the cheese in strip and use 3 or 4 for each chili.
- 3. Make the egg mixture beat the egg whites til they form soft peaks and then add the salt and one yolk at a time, this mixture should be foamy . Now I dust each chili with flour and then dip the chili in the egg mixture, when dipping in the egg mixture I use a large spatula to lower the chili into the mixture and to lower them into the fry pan with about 1 inch oil I use canola oil, I do one at a time sometimes two, cook on one side til golden brown and flip over and cook the other side, take out and place on paper towel to drain, when your done with frying the chilies I place them in the oven and cook them at 350* for about 5 to 10 minutes on top of paper towels (use lots of them) to drain more oil from the chilies as they absorb a lot of the oil when you fry them.
- 4. To make your tomato sauce in a large sauce pan place oil in and have the burner turned to med heat, add enough flour and make a paste, ( I know it said 2 tab. flour but you have to add more about 3 or 4 you have to be the judge on this one) cook for a few minutes then add the spices and tomato paste, now the chicken broth, now saute a medium onion and add to your sauce. Pour sauce over your cooked chilies and enjoy. I use sometimes use diced tomatoes with juice in place of the tomato paste and then use less chicken broth, you just judge how much while cooking this.

Steps:
- 1. (NOTE: Before starting the preparation of the Chicken Chile Rellenos, begin cooking 1 3/4 to 2 cups of brown or white rice in a separate pan.)
- 2. Wash peppers. In a large sauce pan or pot, fill 3/4 full with water and bring to a rolling boil. Place whole peppers in boiling water and blanche for 3-4 minutes on medium high heat.
- 3. Gently remove the peppers from the boiling water using tongs and place in a lightly greased 9" x 13" pan.
- 4. Using a serrated, sharp knife, carefully cut a T-shaped slit in each pepper, being careful to cut only the top side of the Poblano pepper.
- 5. Use a small spoon to carefully scoop out the seeds in each pepper, being careful to not tear the pepper.
- 6. Set peppers aside while cooking chicken mixture.
- 7. Wash and pat dry chicken breasts. Cut chicken into 1/4" strips or pieces and cook on medium heat in 3-4 T. olive oil in a large pan or dutch oven.
- 8. As the chicken begins to brown, add onions, garlic, bell pepper, tomatoes and seasonings. Stir occasionally to prevent ingredients from sticking to pan. Continue to cook for approximately 15 -20 minutes or until chicken is well browned.
- 9. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- 10. For chicken mixture, reduce heat to medium low and add cilantro, raisins, and walnuts. Cook an additional 5 minutes to incorporate the last 3 ingredients into the chicken mixture.
- 11. Remove chicken mixture from heat. Use a small spoon to gently fill each Poblano pepper with the chicken mixture--being careful not to tear the peppers.
- 12. Place stuffed Poblano peppers in oven and bake for 5-10 minutes.
- 13. Remove peppers gently from pan placing onto a bed of (cooked) white or brown rice. (For presentation sake, I prefer to place the rice and one stuffed pepper on each person's plate prior to them being seated at the table.)

CHILE RELLENOS
I'm posting this recipe especially for all those ex-pats out there who can't pop out to a Mexican restaurant when they get the craving. It is admittedly a "fiddly" recipe, but making it myself is the only way I can ever get to eat what is one of my most favorite Mexican dishes. After making it once, you'll find that it isn't so difficult. And for those of you living in Europe as I do, I've discovered that the long and slender dark-green chiles found in Turkish and Moroccan vegetable markets work well, and for the cheese I use a white French Pyrenees cheese that is a suitable substitute for Monterey Jack. This seems to be a dish that varies widely from region to region in how it is prepared; this version is the type I always enjoyed the most.

Steps:
- For the Sauce:.
- Combine the tomatoes, garlic and onion in a food processor and process until liquid.
- Heat 1 TBS olive oil in a saucepan and add mixture; cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chicken broth, salt, jalapenos and cinnamon; simmer gently for 15 minutes more.
- For the chiles:.
- Place the chiles on a baking sheet in a 450°F oven, turning occasionally, until the peels begin to brown and blister all over.
- Remove from oven and place in a plastic bowl and cover with a plate; allow to stand for 10 minutes (alternatively, they can be placed in a brown paper bag for the same length of time).
- After this time, carefully peel the skins away but keeping the chiles intact, including stems.
- Cut a slit (only as big as is needed) along the side of each chile, and slide a piece of cheese in each; if the chile tears open, you can close and secure with wooden toothpicks.
- Roll the filled chiles in flour and evenly coat; set aside.
- Beat the egg whites in a bowl until stiff.
- In another bowl, lightly beat the yolks then add them to the whites, folding in lightly but thoroughly.
- Pour peanut oil to a depth of 1/4 inch in a large frying pan and heat to 365°F; you will be able to tell that it is hot enough without a thermometer if when you drop a bit of flour into the oil it quickly begins to brown.
- Dip each chile in turn into the egg mixture, coating evenly and sliding any excess off with your fingers, then place immediately in the hot oil (I only fry three at a time).
- Fry till golden, turning on all sides (they should be done in 1-2 minutes); remove and drain on paper toweling.
- Repeat with remaining chiles.
- Remove any toothpicks that you may have used!
- Serve topped with the sauce.

Steps:
- Steam the chili pepper for about 10 minutes until they have softened. You can also choose to char them instead. Let them cool.
- Slice each pepper lengthwise, removing the stem. Cut the pepperjack cheese into 8 equal chunks and then stuff a chunk into each pepper. (I cut them to make them fit lengthwise.) Place in a greased casserole. I use a small lasagna pan.
- Beat the eggs, cream and salt until blended, then pour over the peppers.
- Top with the cheddar cheese.
- Bake at 350 for 35 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before eating.
- Can be frozen.
UNTRADITIONAL CHILE RELLENOS
This is a heathlier version of a chile relleno. This is not a traditional relleno, but it is fast and easy to make in the microwave. Yes, microwave! I got this recipe from a lady that sells chile at the farmers market and I tried and really liked it for a quick chile relleno fix! Hope you like it too. You can use whatever cheese you want and use prepared bread crumbs if you want. I included step by step photos to help make these.
