Hey everyone! I'm excited to share with you a delicious and classic Mexican dish: Chiles Rellenos! This dish is all about roasted poblano peppers stuffed with gooey cheese, then coated in a light egg batter and fried until crispy. It's a flavorful and satisfying meal that's perfect for any occasion. Here's how to make it:
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Ingredients:
- 4 large poblano peppers
- 200g Oaxaca cheese or mozzarella, sliced into strips
- 3 eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your broiler to high. Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and broil them, turning occasionally, until the skins are charred and blistered all over. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
- Transfer the roasted peppers to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let them steam for about 10 minutes, then carefully peel off the skins. Make a small slit down the side of each pepper and remove the seeds, being careful to keep the peppers intact.
- Stuff each pepper with slices of cheese, ensuring they are well-filled but still able to close.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks until light and fluffy.
- Gently fold the beaten egg yolks into the egg whites until just combined.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Roll each stuffed pepper in flour, shaking off any excess, then dip them into the egg mixture, making sure they're evenly coated.
- Fry the peppers in the hot oil, turning occasionally, until they're golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Remove the fried peppers from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve the Chiles Rellenos hot, with your favorite salsa or tomato sauce on the side. Enjoy!
