rellenos rule!
I just realized that this is the third rellenos (or stuffed poblano pepper) recipe on the site, and the 2nd in the past two weeks… but honestly, rellenos rule! Here is what Wikipedia has to say on the subject:
“The chile relleno, literally “stuffed chile,” is a dish of Mexican cuisine that originated in the city of Puebla. It consists of a roasted fresh poblano pepper (a mild chili pepper named after the city of Puebla), sometimes substituted with non-traditional Hatch green chile, Anaheim, pasilla, or even jalapeño chili pepper. It is stuffed with melted cheese, such as queso Chihuahua or queso Oaxaca (traditionally), or picadillo meat made of diced pork, raisins, and nuts, seasoned with canella; covered in an egg batter or simply corn masa flour and fried…”Here is what I have to say: “Fill a poblano with anything you like, skip the batter and frying! There is no way you can go wrong.”
Announcement: Today begins a countdown. To what, you ask? You shall find out soon enough…
