Bacio® Stuffed Chile Rellenos
Bacio® Stuffed Chile Rellenos
Directions
- Preheat a grill to medium high.
- Grill and char the chiles on both sides. Once blackened, put in a plastic bag for 10 minutes to sweat out any moisture. Remove from the bag, slit them down the middle and remove the seeds.
- Add the tomatoes and water to a small pot over medium heat. Simmer the tomatoes until soft and stir in the garlic and chicken bouillon.
- Add the 1/4 cup of oil to a frying pan, over low heat, and stir in the flour to make a roux mixture. Cook the flour until browned, then add the tomato sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes and then add the oregano. Keep the sauce hot while you cook the peppers.
- Divided the cheese evenly between the peppers. Stuff the peppers with Bacio and use toothpicks to hold them together.
- Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Add the egg whites to a large bowl. Beat the egg whites with an electric beater until the whites fluff up.
- Gently beat the egg yolks to combine. Add in the flour and the egg yolks to the beaten whites and gently mix until completely incorporated.
- Add the oil to a frying pan over medium heat. Dip the stuffed peppers into the batter and fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove from the oil to a serving platter.
- Pour the tomato sauce the serving platter, top with the chile rellenos and serve.
