Ancho Chile Relleno

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I saw this on a cooking show, I can't remember what channel it was on but it came out soooo good. It is the right mixture of a sweet/spicey chile with a nice red sauce. I would imagaine a good enchilada sauce would work as well.

    Typically Chile Rellen's are made using pablano chile's or anaheim chile's, but this is just as wonderful tasting as the others. Give it a try!

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Pure Tomatoes, Onion, and Garlic With Water and 3/4 Tsp Salt in a Blender Until Smooth. Strain Through a Medium-Mesh Sieve Into a Bowl, Pressing on and Then Discarding Solids.

    2
    Done

    Heat 1/4 Cup Oil in a 12-Inch Heavy Skillet Over Medium Heat Until It Shimmers. Add Tomato Mixture (it Will Spatter) and Simmer Over Low Heat, Stirring Occasionally, Until Thickened Slightly and a Pool of Oil Forms Around Bubbles, About 20 Minutes. Stir in Enough of Boiling-Hot Water to Reach the Consistency of a Thin Broth. Season With Salt. Keep Warm Over Low Heat.

    3
    Done

    While Sauce Simmers, Slit 1 Side of Each Chile Lengthwise and Remove Seeds and Veins, Keeping Chiles Intact. Fill Each Chile First With About 3 Tbsp Packed Oaxaca Cheese and Then With About 2 Tbsp Queso Aejo and Close Chiles Around Filling as Well as Possible.

    4
    Done

    Put Flour in a Wide Bowl and Carefully Dredge Chiles in Flour (make Sure Filling Doesn't Fall Out), Gently Knocking Off Excess, and Reserve on a Plate.

    5
    Done

    Heat Remaining Cup Oil in a 12-Inch Heavy Nonstick Skillet Over Medium Heat Until It Shimmers.

    6
    Done

    Meanwhile, Beat Egg Whites With a Pinch of Salt Using an Electric Mixer at Medium-High Speed Until They Just Hold Soft Peaks. Beat Yolks Briefly to Loosen, Then Fold Into Whites With a Rubber Spatula Gently but Thoroughly.

    7
    Done

    Working in Batches of 3, Dip Floured Chiles, One by One, in Egg Batter to Coat, Transferring to Skillet. Fry Chiles, Turning Once With a Slotted Spoon, Until Batter Is Golden All Over, About 1 Minute. Transfer Chiles as Fried to Warm Tomato Broth, Turning to Coat, Then Let Stand 2 Minutes So They Absorb Some of Broth. Serve Chiles With Broth.

    8
    Done

    Note: Look For Chiles That Are Soft and Pliable Enough not to Need Soaking.

    9
    Done

    Chiles Can Be Stuffed and Coated With Flour 1 Day Ahead and Chilled.

    10
    Done

    Tomato Broth Can Be Made 1 Day Ahead and Chilled (covered Once Cool). Bring to a Bare Simmer Before Frying Chiles.
