Campbells Three Cheese Stuffed Poblano Chiles Recipes

CHILES RELLENO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to high broil. Wash peppers, pat completely dry, and place them on a baking sheet. Broil for several minutes, turning halfway, until very blackened on both sides.
• Place chiles in a plastic bag and tie the bag, or place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to allow them to steam. Set aside for 5-10 minutes until they are cool enough to handle.
• Open the bag and gently peel the charred outer skin off of the chiles-it should come off easily.
• Starting at the top stem of the chiles, use a knife to make a small slit into the side of each chili about 1.5 inches long. Use your finger or a small spoon to gently remove the seeds and membrane, (being careful not to tear the peppers). Cut the cheese into chunks and carefully stuff a few pieces in to fill each chili.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Prepare the batter. Separate the egg whites into a small mixing bowl, and the egg yolks into a large, deep mixing bowl. Whip the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks. Set aside.
• To the bowl with the egg yolks, add milk, 1/2 cup flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold in the beaten egg whites.
• Add ¼ cup of flour to a shallow bowl or plate and gently coat chiles in flour on both sides-they only need a light coating, which will help the batter adhere to them.
• Check the oil to make sure it's ready by adding a small drop of batter to it. It should gently sizzle and begin to cook and turn golden.
• Lay one of the chiles into the batter and gently spoon batter over it to cover it in a thin layer. Pick the chili up carefully by the stem and lift from the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, and then carefully lay it in the hot oil. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until golden brown on the bottom, and then flip to the other side.
• Transfer to a wire cooling rack lined with paper towels. Serve warm, topped with salsa roja.
• Serve with: Authentic Mexican Rice and Refried beans

CHEVYS' THREE CHEESE CHILE RELLENOS RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the 3 cheeses in bowl and refrigerate. Separate the eggs into separate mixing bowls. Beat the whites on high speed until soft peaks form; add the 1/4 cup flour and mix for 10 seconds. Add the yolks and mix at medium speed for 10 seconds. Using a large rubber spatula finish incorporating the yolks by folding them in. Cover and refrigerate until ready to batter the rellenos. Make a cut down the length of the chiles, gently open chiles and hold under cold running water to rinse away the seeds. Pat dry with paper towels. Gently press about 1/3 cup of the cheese mixture into an oval shaped ball and place inside one of the chiles. Using a wooden toothpick "sew" the seam of the chile shut. Repeat until all chiles are filled. Place the flour on a plate. Gently roll the stuffed chiles in the flour to coat. Dip into egg mixture and coat completely. Line another plate with paper towels. Fill a heavy skillet with 3 to 4 inches of the oil and heat over high until oil sizzles when a pinch of flour is dropped in. Add the stuffed chiles and fry one at a time. When chiles are light golden brown, turn them to brown the other side. Remove with tongs and transfer to paper towel lined plate to drain. To serve: Place 2 rellenos on each plate and remove the toothpicks and discard. Spoon the Ranchero Sauce over the rellenos and sprinkle the cheese over. For the Ranchero Sauce: Heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and saute until soft. Add the rest of the ingredients, increase the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, decrease the heat to low and simmer for ten minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To use, heat slowly over low heat. If necessary, thin with 1 tablespoon of chicken stock. This recipe yields 4 servings.
