Chile rellenos using poblano peppers (stuffed poblano peppers) are a very popular Mexican dish made from roasted peppers and stuffed with cheese, then coated in a "fluffy" egg batter, fried to perfection and then served with Chile relleno sauce. Yummy!

Yield: 6 portions
Ingredients for the peppers
6 large poblano peppers
1 lb. mozzarella cheese, sliced
1/2 small onion, thinly sliced
6 eggs (yolks and whites separated)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Oil for frying (we used grapeseed oil in the video)
Tooth picks just in case some of the peppers fall apart.
Ingredients for the red sauce
6 plum tomatoes
3-4 cloves garlic
1 small onion (plus one slice to flavor the oil)
1 tablespoon salt, freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon chili
1 teaspoon cumin seeds (rub between your fingers before adding)
3 sprigs cilantro
1-2 tablespoons of oil
Directions
Turn on the griddle and place peppers. Now add all veggies (tomato, garlic and onion) to the griddle. Use tongs to rotate peppers often to char all sides.
Place blackened peppers into a bowl and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 15 minutes.
Remove skin from peppers, don't stress if you are unable to completely remove all the skin.
Then cut a slit down the long side of each one to remove seeds and core, if you wish, we didn't.
Stuff peppers with alternating slices of cheese and onion.
Beat egg whites with an electric mixer starting with low speed and continue increasing the speed until egg whites are formed into soft peaks. Add yolks and continue to beat for another 30 seconds on a low speed.
Roll each stuffed pepper in flour, tap off excess flour, and dip into the egg mixture to coat both sides. Gently lay coated peppers into the hot oil. Fry peppers until lightly golden brown and cheese has melted, about 5 minutes per side. Use kitchen tongs to flip peppers and do so gently as you can to avoid splashing hot oil and to maintain the fluffiness of the eggs.
To make the sauce, place all charred veggies (tomatoes, onion and garlic) into a blender, add spices and blend all together until it is a nice and smooth consistency.
Take a saucepot and on low-medium heat, add 1-2 tablespoons of oil, (this will depend on the size of your pot). Add 1-2 slices of onion. Warm up for 2-3 minutes. Then pour the blender mixture into the saucepot. Add cilantro (no need to chop), and cook on low-medium heat for 5 minutes. Fish out the cilantro and set aside. Your sauce is ready.
To serve peppers, place one pepper per portion and generously pour sauce, I served also with rice to create a nice complete dinner meal.
Enjoy!

Tried making chile rellenos for the first time tonight and followed your recipe. I was pleased with the results and my two teenage boys really enjoyed them as well. The only critique I got was the mozzarella. It was too stringy. I’ve got more sauce and an extra pepper, so I think I’ll try again but with one of the Mexican melting cheeses instead this time. Thanks for the recipe and video!

[@innichkachef2789]

I glad, yes this recipe can be change in many ways, cheese or even meat can be used instead.

Looks a tad spicy for me but still delicious!

[@innichkachef2789]

not every pepper is spicy, smell them before cooking

[@leannlopezgarnica9420]

I'm sorry but that isn't the way they make them in Monterrey they make them with queso fresco and they make some meat and potatoes and yall didn't char the peppers all the way

[@innichkachef2789]

Thank you for your comment, I know we didn't char all the way, I think for the video we didn't want them to fell a part and then we would probably have to use a toothpicks. In my blog www.innichkachef.com/post/traditional-mexican-chile-relleno-stuffed-poblano-peppers-video I explain in details about this dish and variations. We also didn't remove seeds. Do you remove them before stuffing the peppers?
