Chiles Rellenos With Sauce
- 6 anaheim chilies
- 3 ounces cream cheese
- 3 eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup flour
- salt
- oil (for frying)
- Sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped onions
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
- 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano
- Slit peppers at lower end. Remove seeds and pulpy connective tissue, but leave on stems. Parboil until tender.
- Stuff each pepper with two pieces of cream cheese 1/8-inch thick.
- Beat egg whites until they are white. Add yolks and continue beating until uniform and fluffy. Salt the egg batter.
- Heat oil for cooking. Roll pepper in flour then dip in egg batter. Fry until egg is golden. If you put more than one pepper at a time into the pan, be sure not to put in so many that the oil temperature drops too much. The rellenos shouldn't be touching each other either.
- Pour some sauce over each relleno and serve.
- SAUCE: Saute onions in 1 T. peanut oil. Add tomato sauce, a couple shakes of salt and oregano. Simmer 5 minutes. Should be hot when served over the rellenos.
