Chile Rellenos
- 4 fresh chili peppers
- 23 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 23 cup grated jalapeno pepper cheese
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 12 cup cornmeal
- 12 cup cooking oil
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 cup salsa
- sour cream (optional)
- Roast and skin the chilies.
- 5 minutes over a gas burner, 20 minutes in a plastic bag, then gently remove the skin.
- Cut a small slit in the side of each pepper and remove the seeds.
- I use running water to rinse the seeds out.
- Combine the cheddar and pepper cheese.
- You can use any variety of cheese that has chilies or peppers as an ingredient.
- Stuff the cheese into the cavity of each chile.
- Roll each chile in a paper towel to keep them together and dry.
- Pour the oil in a large cooking pan.
- You need about 1/4 inch on the bottom.
- Heat the oil to 350F.
- Beat the eggs.
- Remove each pepper from the paper towel wrap.
- Roll the chile in the egg, and then into the cornmeal.
- Gently slide the chiles into the hot oil.
- Cook about 3 minutes per side, until the corn crusts and is golden.
- Remove from the pan and IMMEDIATELY dust each side of each chile with the salt.
- Plate.
- Top with heated salsa and any remaining cheese.
- Serve with sour cream.
