Grilled Poblanos In Garlic Oil Recipes

GRILLED BOK CHOY WITH GINGER SCALLION GARLIC OIL

Steps:

• Heat a gas or charcoal grill over medium-high heat. Alternatively, you can heat a grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Arrange the bok choy on a sheet tray, or place in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Place the bok choy onto the heated grill or grill pan, cut-side down and cook until wilted and grill marks appear, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook for until tender, 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from the grill onto a platter. Drizzle with the Garlic, Ginger and Scallion Oil (recipe follows), a sprinkling of sesame seeds and flaky salt.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the tablespoon of neutral oil and heat until shimmering. Add the ginger, scallions, garlic and salt and cook, stirring, to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sesame oil and the remaining 1 cup neutral oil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally and taking care not to let the oil get too hot, until the oil is infused with flavors, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.

GRILLED POBLANOS IN GARLIC OIL

Steps:

• Heat a grill or griddle until very hot. Place whole peppers on cooking surface (if using a grill, lay a sheet of aluminum foil under peppers) and cook until skin is completely black and flesh is soft, about 20 minutes. Turn peppers every 2 to 3 minutes for even cooking.
• When completely charred, wrap peppers in newspaper or place in paper bag; set aside to cool at least 15 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove stems, seeds and skin, working gently to limit breakage.
• Cut peppers lengthwise in half, then into strips about 1/4-inch thick. Arrange peppers in a shallow dish and sprinkle with sliced garlic, salt and pepper. Add olive oil and thyme, cover and marinate at least 2 hours or, preferably, overnight.
• Serve at room temperature with crusty bread as an appetizer, or as a side dish with grilled fish, steak or pork. To serve on toast, slice bread and toast or grill just before serving. Drizzle toast with a little oil from dish, add a few pepper strips, and top with an anchovy.

GRILLED POBLANOS

Steps:

• Heat grill on low, about 250 degrees.
• Halve peppers and clean out seeds. Peppers should lay flat and wide.
• Cut 6 portions of foil, one for each pepper. Foil should be big enough to fold up edges around pepper, forming a "bowl" so juices and cheese don't drip. Drizzle 1 tbsp of olive oil onto each piece of foil.
• Divide cream cheese into 6 equal parts. Spread each pepper with one part of cream cheese. (Use your thumbs to spread into pepper). Place pepper on foil.
• Sprinkle 1/3 cup of mozzarella cheese, 1 teaspoons ground cumin, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper on to each pepper.
• Fold and scrunch up sides of foil around pepper, forming a bowl. Place on grill.
• Peppers should cook for about 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and browned on top.
