I remember my dad sitting on the back steps curing my mocajete with rice as a wedding gift to me 43 years ago. Then one for my daughter. It was a tradition that every Mexican home MUST have one for cooking. We still have ours and use it. Nothing like grinding your comino, pimienta, and garlic fresh. Makes all the difference in your dishes. Love your style of cooking Rachel. Your friend from Mission!

How do you cure mocajete. I’m getting me one. Thanks in advance

[@carmensolis1066]

@@mayitamayas7257 hi Mayita, the way to cure a mocajeta is you put a small amount of rice and with the mortar you grind the rice in the mocajete and throw it out and repeat over again until you get a somewhat smooth finish and you get all the volcanic rocks from the creases out. That way they don’t go into your food when you grind the spices. Nowadays you can find mocajetes that have been cured already and are smooth inside and ready to use. Good luck!

This casserole sounds AMAZING! Chiles Rollenos is one of my FAVORITE dishes and when I moved to Mexico, I couldn't wait to try authentic ones. But here, most restaurants make them in advance, and leave them soaking in a tomato sauce until served which results in a soggy mess. Since this recipe does not involve a tomato sauce at all it sounds ideal for me! MUCHAS GRACIAS!

I've watched both videos of your Chiles Rellenos, & Chiles Rellenos Casserole. Both look spectacular! They both look like an equal amount of work though. Still, I'm sure well worth the effort. Many years ago there was a super simple chiles rellenos casserole that called for mild diced green chiles from the can, fritos corn chips, & an egg mixture, & grated cheese. It was tasty & quick, but your way sounds very fresh & healthier. Keep the amazing recipes coming! I love them!

Goodness gracious gravy! Chiles rellenos are my all time favorite Mexican food dish and this casserole hits all the right marks of them without the hassle. I tell Johnny there are certain dishes like chiles rellenos or enchiladas that truly are a labor of love to make but worth it especially when you're feeding loved ones. I am a million per cent going to make this casserole as one of my Sunday dishes especially when I can make a vegetarian version of easily. Again my dear amiga you make my stomach grumble...lol. Have a beautiful rest of your week and a truly love filled Valentine's Day weekend with your Ron.

Thank you dear friend, it is delicious, and the good thing about it is you can change it around and make it your own...you can make them vegetarian or use any meat you like, you can prepare your peppers early than have them ready for supper time so you can just put it together, just about any cheese is good...siding it with rice and beans is a fantastic traditional way to make it complete, I hope you and your Johnny enjoy it, Happy Valentines day dear Richard, I hope it's a special one for you and your Johnny.

[@seinelady2923]

What a great recipe! I live in the geographical centre of North America (Lorette, Manitoba in Canada) where it goes to -50 in the winter. It gets really hot here in the summer but a shorter growing season than most US states. We can't buy poblano peppers in the stores - EVER. So I painstakingly grew my own from seed beginning in March, planted them June 1st and harvested end of September. And they are much smaller than the ones you cooked with. Considering how much work went into growing the peppers I wanted to find the best tasting recipe. Well I gotta tell you Rachel that it was fantastic. The 9"x13" casserole dish I used took all of the peppers that I grew and it was well worth it. Next year I will definitely make it again but will keep more seeds in it to make the dish spicier. Going to make it with some cubanelle's next and see if its as good as the poblanos. Best regards.

[@robertafernandez2934]

Hi Rachel - I prepared this recipe tonight. I very much enjoyed the dish but I did tweak it a bit since I halved your recipe.. For example, I substitute a cube of tomato chicken broth for the tomatoes and tomato 🍅 paste; and I did not use as much cheese so as to cut down on the calories. I made some rice as a side dish. Next time I make this tasty meal, I will consider adding the rice to the casserole itself and cooking it all together, perhaps adding a can of celery soup. At the end, inspite of adding only one egg to the milk and flour mixture, I had enough of this mixture left over to make a separate crepe. I added to the mixture some salt, pepper, garlic, and dry 🌰 onion. Then once the crepe was cooking, I added a bit of cheese to each end, then rolled both ends towards the middle. The result was a tasty cheese egg roll that I enjoyed while the casserole was baking in the oven. Thank you for sharing this poblano dish. I have enjoyed many of your videos and will continue preparing several more dishes in the future. Thanks for inviting us into your kitchen. I feel that I am observing an old friend preparing traditional recipes that have been passed over through several generations. Buen provecho!

This recipe right here is going straight into the jewel box-- I mean recipe box of my mind! I must share, Rachel, the 'chili rellenos' has been a personal favorite meal choice of mine for years, often enough my automatic 'go to' order at Mexican restaurants & for take out ...until, recently it seems the menus don't include them any longer at same local eateries. There could be a myriad of reasons for this, especially in these times, but I suspect it has to do with the work, supply/demand ratios and such. Anyway, just otherwise nvr would hv dawned on me this great idea for a casserole! (Now going to have too much) LOL-- I've saved it of course, but also memorized instantly every step!
