Chile Rellenos
- 4 whole Poblano Peppers
- 6 ounces, weight Monterey Jack Cheese
- 1 cup Spinach Leaves
- 2 whole Eggs Whites And Yolks Separated
- 1/4 cups Flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Salsa
- Canola Or Other Frying Oil, For Frying
- Begin by roasting the peppers.
- You can do this on the grill or put them in a 450 degree F oven for about 25 minutes.
- Put them on the grill rack or on a sheet pan and turn them occassionally so theyll get evenly charred.
- The blacker the better.
- Put peppers in a plastic bag and allow them to steam for at least 10 minutes (this makes them easier to peel).
- Then run the pepper under cold water and peel off the skin.
- Make a small slit down one side of the pepper and remove the seeds and pepper guts.
- Then fill the pepper with slices of cheese and spinach leaves (you could add refried beans or cooked chicken or whatever youd like to stuff inside a pepper).
- Squish the pepper closed as best you can.
- Beat your egg whites in a small bowl with a mixer until peaks form.
- Beat the egg yolk with one tablespoon of flour and a little salt until you have a thick paste.
- Mix the egg yolk mixture to the egg whites and stir.
- Roll the peppers in the remaining flour and then dip each one into the egg batter.
- Cover the bottom of a heavy pan with enough oil to cover the peppers.
- Heat the oil over medium heat until it starts to shimmer.
- Fry peppers, seam side down, on all sides until golden brown (about four minutes per side).
- Then set the peppers on a paper towel to allow grease to drain.
- Pour salsa (warm it up in microwave) over each pepper and top with more grated cheese.
- Serve immediately.
