Vegetarian Stuffed Poblano Peppers Recipes

VEGETARIAN AND BLACK BEAN QUINOA STUFFED POBLANOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with a reusable baking mat or parchment paper.
• Arrange poblanos on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins begin to turn brown and pull away from the flesh.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the red onion, season with salt, and sauté for 3 minutes, until beginning to soften. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the cumin, coriander, and cayenne and stir to coat the vegetables with the spices.
• Add the quinoa, beans, corn, tomato sauce, and lime juice and season with salt. Stir to combine, then cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
• Transfer the roasted poblanos to a bowl and cover with a plate or plastic wrap. Steam for 15 minutes.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
• Peel the skins off the poblanos. Leaving the stem intact, cut a slit lengthwise down each pepper to form a pouch. With a small spoon, carefully remove the seeds. The poblano flesh will be delicate-it's fine if it tears a bit.
• Lay the peeled poblanos side by side in a greased 9-x13-inch (22 cm x 33 cm) baking dish. Stuff each pepper with about ½ cup of the filling. Top each pepper with 2 tablespoons of Monterey Jack cheese.
• Bake the stuffed peppers for 15-20 minutes, until the filling is completely warmed through and the cheese is melted and beginning to brown.
• Serve the peppers garnished with cilantro leaves and serve with avocado slices and lime wedges.
• Enjoy!

VEGETARIAN STUFFED POBLANOS PEPPERS

Steps:

• Set one oven rack to the top of the oven, another rack in the center and preheat oven to broil.
• Make one slit in each of the poblanos from the stem to tip (the seeds will be removed after roasting). Arrange evenly on a baking sheet. Place the poblanos on the top rack.
• Using tongs, turn the poblanos about every 2 - 3 minutes for a total of about 9 - 12 minutes, or until they're nice and charred (blistered) on each side. Remove from oven and transfer the peppers to a covered container to steam for about 10 minutes (this makes them easier to peel). The peppers will be soft at this point. Lower the oven temperature to 375 Fahrenheit (190 Celsius).
• Once the peppers are steamed, carefully peel the skins off the peppers, working the seeds out with a little bit of running water (this helps them cool as well) and a gentle knife keeping the peppers in tact as best you can. Pat dry and set aside.
• While the peppers are roasting, in a medium sauce pot or Dutch oven, add the oil and heat on medium until shimmering. Add the onion and bell pepper and saute' on medium low for about 5 minutes or until softened. Add the rice and stir for two minutes, slightly toasting. To the rice mixture add the salt, cumin, paprika, chili powder, and garlic and stir for about 1 minute or until spices are fragrant. Stir in the tomato paste, salsa and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Lid the pot and cook for about 16-18 minutes, or until the rice in tender. Remove lid and stir. The rice will be moist and creamy. Remove from heat. If the rice is sticking add a splash of water. Stir. Relid and allow to rest off heat for 10 minutes.
• Stir in the zucchini, corn, beans and cheese (if using). Squeeze in the lime juice. Stir. Taste for salt adjustment. Set aside.
• Lightly oil (or use pan spray) a casserole dish and set aside.Carefully stuff each pepper with the stuffing, shaping the pepper around the stuffing. Transfer to the casserole, laying the peppers snugly against each other. MAKE AHEAD: At this point the peppers can be covered with foil and held in the fridge for up to two days. Bake as directed.Cover the baker with foil, then bake in a 375 Fahrenheit oven for about 20 minutes or until heated through.
• In a food processor add the avocado, cilantro, jalapeño, salt, lemon, and cumin. Whirl ingredients while drizzling about 1/3 cup (78 grams) of water in. The cream should be thin enough to slather or dip. Thin to desired consistency.
• Serve family style right out of the casserole with sliced avocado, cilantro, sour cream, salsa and lime wedges.
• Store in a lidded container in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze for up to two weeks. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight, cover and rewarm in a 350 Fahrenheit oven for about 20 minutes.
