Authentic Chile Rellenos

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Pretty much the same exact way I make mine, except I've mastered pulling the seed/pith in one go, from one small incision near the crown of the Pablano pepper. (near the stem)
    I insert a sharp knife tip, cut the base of the seedpod, and pull the entire bundle of ghoulies out in one try, then push a pre-cut plank of jack cheese in the same hole, flour & dip, then fry 'em up.....yum!!

    Authentic Chile Rellenos, This recipe is for those that have access to a store that sells Mexican groceries Often it is hard to distinguish the fresh cheeses, such as queso blanco or panela from the melting cheeses like queso oaxaca Either will work in this recipe Just don’t use a hard cheese like cotiga which is a hard cheese sililar to parmesan I have been searching for the chile rellenos that I loved as a child that came from the Sawtelle Deli in West Los Angeles in the 60’s It’s really not as hard as it looks and the taste is far superior to the chile relleno casseroles that are popular, IMHO , Pretty much the same exact way I make mine, except I’ve mastered pulling the seed/pith in one go, from one small incision near the crown of the Pablano pepper (near the stem) I insert a sharp knife tip, cut the base of the seedpod, and pull the entire bundle of ghoulies out in one try, then push a pre-cut plank of jack cheese in the same hole, flour & dip, then fry ’em up yum!!, these are marvelous – thanks for posting

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Place the Chiles Directly on the Burner of a Gas Stove Until Mostly Blackened on Each Side.

    2
    Done

    Put the Cooked Chiles in a Plastic Vegetable Grocery Bag For 30 Minutes. Toss Them Around a Bit So That the Bag Doesn't Get a Hole in It from the Heat.

    3
    Done

    Peel the Blackened Skin from the Chiles With Your Fingers. It's not Important to Get Every Bit of Skin Off.

    4
    Done

    Slice Each Chili on One Side from Stem to Bottom.

    5
    Done

    Remove Most of the Seeds and Membranes. (if You Like Them Really Hot, Omit This Step).

    6
    Done

    Cut the Cheese Into 1/2 Wide Slices and as Long as the Chiles.

    7
    Done

    Stuff the Cheese Into Each Chile.

    8
    Done

    Roll in Flour.

    9
    Done

    Beat the Egg Whites Until Stiff and Gently Fold in the Yolks. (if Doubling the Recipe Make Two Batches of Stiffened Egg as the Eggs Will Fall Quickly).

    10
    Done

    Drop Chiles Into Egg Batter and Fluff It Around Them.

    11
    Done

    Slide Them Into1 1/2" Deep Hot Oil, One or Two at a Time Until Golden Brown and Turn to Brown the Other Side.

    12
    Done

    Drain on Paper Towels.

    13
