Recipe?

 

Never had Chile rellenos, but it looks good. Needs some red in it for color.

 

Give us the recipe!

 

Looks like a tasty combination of dishes. I’m always trying (but failing) to eat more veggies so the word ‘spinach’ caught my eye.

 

Interesting. I've made chili rellenos the "hard" way, here. Not going to describe it again. That's almost as much work as actually making them.

Chili Rellenos

When I make chili rellenos I follow the method given by Diana Kennedy in her book "The Art of Mexican Cooking". The most commonly used pepper is the Poblano though others can be used. Start by charring your pepper. I use an open flame and place in a plastic or paper bag for about 10 minutes to...

I did similar but used the oven on braise, flipping ever 2 min for about 10 min. I peeled under slow running water cause that’s what the thing I read said. I’ll adjust that next time. My poblanos had a bitter taste.

For the filling I boiled spinach in salt water and drained. Then oil in a skillet with sliced Brazil nuts and toasted them. Then pan fry (I guess what it’s called) the spinach. Then add 3/4 cup of water and keep cooking till it boils off.

I then mixed in the cheese (Mexican crumbly type) and seasoning. I’m only did cilantro, salt, and pepper. I stuffed the poblanos, set them in the baking dish, and drizzled some of my wife’s Alfredo sauce over it.

 

You’re chili rellenos looks really good…I recently pulled this recipe from a friend
on a cooking club and I plan on making it…I love chili rellenos.
here’s the recipe

 

Looks much like the recipe/method I used TK. I found another picture. Don't know why they are scattered across this machine and a hosting site.

 

It would be nice to have a thread on Mexican cheeses, if anyone knows about them.

I used Tropical brand Queso Fresco. It is a much drier, crumblier, milder cheese than I expected. Quite tasty. I believe I read before that queso cheeses aren't really a type of cheese like cheddar, parmesan, etc. They are too fresh (not aged) to develop a type. That's probably a vastly dumbed down explanation, but it's a neat thing to know.

 

Queso, literally is Spanish for cheese. Fresco is a fresh not aged as in cheddar etc.

 

Getting your meat from the trusted meat shop is also one of the must-do to create a delicious meal.
