Steps:
- Roast chiles:
- Roast chiles on their sides on racks of gas burners (1 or 2 per burner) over medium-high heat, turning with tongs, until skins are blistered and slightly charred, 4 to 6 minutes. (Or broil on rack of a broiler pan about 2 inches from heat.) Immediately transfer to a large bowl and cover, then let stand 20 minutes.
- Make tomato sauce while chiles stand:
- Purée all sauce ingredients except oil with 11/4 teaspoons salt in a blender until smooth, then strain through a medium-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids, then discarding them.
- Heat oil in a deep 12-inch heavy skillet or heatproof casserole (preferably one that can go to the table) over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Carefully pour in sauce and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes (sauce should still be thin). Season with salt.
- Stuff and fry chiles:
- Carefully rub off skins from chiles, leaving stems attached. Cut a slit lengthwise in each chile with kitchen shears, then carefully cut out seedpod (including attached ribs) without tearing chile (hotter chiles smell stronger when cut). Wipe chiles clean with a paper towel if necessary.
- Stuff chiles with cheese and enclose filling by overlapping slit slightly if possible, then transfer to a plate. (Use a toothpick to mark any hotter chiles if desired.)
- Heat 1/2 inch oil in another 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it registers 360°F on thermometer.
- While oil heats, beat egg whites with 1/8 teaspoon salt using an electric mixer until they just hold stiff peaks. Whisk yolks with 1/8 teaspoon salt in a large bowl, then gently fold in whites.
- Put flour in a fine-mesh sieve and dust chiles, turning them to lightly coat all sides.
- When oil is ready, dip chiles, 1 at a time (hold chile by stem), in egg coating, spooning it over chile to cover completely, then fry, turning once, until golden on all sides (lap oil over any lighter areas), 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer chiles with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
- Meanwhile, reheat sauce over low heat. Lay chiles in sauce to serve.

Steps:
- Make the caldillo sauce:
- In a large saucepan, cover the tomatoes with water and cook until they change color and their skins begin to peel. Remove the tomatoes from the water and let cool, reserving the cooking liquid. Once cool enough to handle, peel the tomatoes. Transfer to a blender or food processor, add the onion and garlic, and blend until smooth.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil until hot but not smoking. Add the tomato sauce and fry, stirring occasionally, until it changes color and is fully cooked.
- Add the bay leaf and enough of the reserved tomato cooking liquid to make a fairly thin sauce, then season to taste with salt. Keep hot until ready to serve.
- Make the chiles poblanos rellenos:
- Using fireproof tongs, roast the chiles over an open flame until the skin is completely blistered. Transfer to a plastic bag (or place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap) and let steam for 10 to 15 minutes to loosen the skins. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel the chiles and discard the skins. Using a small, sharp knife, make a lengthwise slit down one side of each chile and carefully remove the seeds. Stuff the chiles with cheese, dividing it evenly.
- Place all but 1 tablespoon of the flour in a small, shallow bowl. Carefully dredge the stuffed chiles in the flour, coating lightly and shaking off any excess.
- In a separate bowl, beat the 3 egg whites until soft peaks form. Carefully fold in the egg yolks, along with the reserved 1 tablespoon of flour, and season with salt.
- In a large skillet over moderate heat, heat the canola oil until hot but not smoking. Holding the flour-dusted chiles by their stems, dip them in the egg batter and then carefully lay them in the hot oil. Using a spatula or spoon, baste the chiles with the hot oil. Once the bottoms are golden brown, turn with a spatula and brown the other side. Transfer to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Serve the poblanos covered with the caldillo sauce and accompanied by rice and refried beans.
STUFFED POBLANOS WITH BLACK BEANS AND CHEESE
Serve warm off the grill-all you need to pair them with is a cold beer. From Chow. I, also, noticed that Ptitchef (a cooking blogger) prepared this and added about 1 cup of cooked chorizo, so I added that ingredient as optional. She, too, placed the peppers over a very simple 'red sauce'. I added that optional recipe to the instructions. The combination of the stuffed peppers and sauce is simply divine. See "note" below for a "how to" microwave basmati rice. (Note: These can be baked and finished off under the broiler.)

Steps:
- Place rice in a colander or a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. Combine rice, water, and 3/4 teaspoon of the salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover the pan and reduce heat to low; cook until water has been completely absorbed, about 10 minutes (rice will be slightly undercooked). Remove the lid and set the pan aside to let rice cool.
- To prepare peppers for stuffing, use a paring knife to cut a wide circle around each stem (like when carving a jack-o'-lantern), so you end up with a cap that can be replaced once you've stuffed the peppers. Be careful not to puncture or rip the peppers. Clean any seeds and membranes from the cap and from the interior of each pepper; set aside.
- Place beans in a large mixing bowl. Using a potato masher or the back of a fork, lightly mash them (some whole beans will remain). Stir cumin, sour cream, Cotija, cilantro, tomatoes, green onions, pepper, chorizo (if using) and remaining salt into mashed beans and mix until evenly combined. Gently mix in cooled rice. Taste mixture and, if necessary, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (Note that the filling should be quite salty to compensate for there being no salt on the peppers.).
- Divide rice mixture into 6 equal portions. Stuff each pepper with the filling and replace each cap, pressing caps into the stuffing so the peppers remain closed while on the grill; set aside until ready to cook. (If you're stuffing the peppers more than 30 minutes before grilling, cover and refrigerate them. Let peppers sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes before grilling so that they cook faster and more evenly.).
- Heat a charcoal or gas grill to medium heat (about 350°). Once the grill is heated, place stuffed peppers on their sides and close the lid. Roll each pepper a quarter turn every 7 minutes or so to cook all four sides. The peppers are finished once the filling is hot, the skins are well-charred, and the flesh is soft to the touch, about 30 minutes. If serving as a side dish, slice peppers in half lengthwise and place over prepared "red sauce", if desired.
- Optional Red Sauce: In a small sauce pan add 1 chopped tomato, 1 tablespoon of cilantro, 3 pinches kosher salt, 1 pinch black pepper, 1 T white wine vinegar, 1/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Bring to a boil for about 4 to 5 minutes. Next seed and chop 1 medium red bell pepper. Lastly, add the heated tomato mixture and the raw red pepper to a blender and pureed until smooth. Salt and pepper to taste. Pour on the bottom of the plate and place stuffed poblano on top.
- Note: How to microwave basmatic rice: Place 1 cup rice and 2 cups water in a microwave safe round 2 quart bowl with lid. Cook covered on high for 5 minutes. Reduce power setting to 50% and cook an additional 15 minutes. Let sit a few minutes, then remove lid and fluff with fork.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler.
- Broil tomatoes, onion, and garlic in a foil-lined shallow baking pan 2 to 3 inches from heat, turning frequently, until lightly charred on all sides, about 5 minutes for garlic, 12 to 15 minutes for onion and tomatoes (flesh should be soft). Alternatively, char vegetables in a hot well-seasoned griddle or cast-iron skillet over moderate heat.
- Core tomatoes and peel garlic, then purée both with onion and salt in a blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot ingredients). Force through a large sieve into a bowl, discarding solids.
- Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a wide 4-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until just hot. Stir about 1/2 cup tomato sauce into oil (this reduces spattering) and, when bubbling vigorously, add remaining sauce and basil. Fry sauce, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Add grapes, plantains, and mangoes to sauce and simmer gently, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened and fruit is tender but still intact, about 30 minutes. Season sauce with salt.
- While sauce is simmering, preheat oven to 350°F.
- Pour sauce over stuffed chiles and bake, covered with foil, until cheese is completely melted and sauce is bubbling, about 30 minutes.
CHICKEN GOAT CHEESE STUFFED POBLANOS
Steps:
- Place poblano peppers on top rack of oven under the broiler, flipping them to all sides until the skin is blistered. Immediately put them in a ziplock bag and seal so they steam for a bit. After they've cooled to room temperature, remove the skins, cut a slit lengthwise along each pepper, and gently remove the seeds and veins. Set aside. Sauté onions and garlic until tender. Remove from pan and put into a large bowl. Season chicken with salt and pepper and cook in the same pan until just cooked through. Shred chicken with a fork and place in bowl with onions and garlic. Then add next 6 ingredients to the chicken onion/garlic mixture and stir together until creamy. Gently stuff the roasted peppers with the creamy chicken mixture. Place in a backing pan slit side up and sprinkle with panko crumbs. Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until peppers are hot all the way through. Remove the foil and place under broiler for a minute or two to brown the panko crumbs. Serve hot!
