Chile Rellenos with Anaheim Peppers

 

Ingredients:

• 4 large green anaheim chilies, roasted and peeled, leave stems on

• cheddar cheese, cut into sticks (or Monterey Jack)

• 3 eggs, separated

• 1 tablespoon water

• 3 tablespoons flour

• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt

• salsa (optional)

Preparation:

1. Place chile peppers on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet.
2. Broil 5 inches from the heat (with electric oven door partially open) 5 minutes on each side or until chile peppers are blistered.
3. Place chile peppers in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; seal.
4. Let stand 10 minutes to loosen skins.
5. Peel peppers, leaving stems attached.
6. Make a slit in the side of each chile, remove seeds, and stuff with cheese sticks.
7. Dredge chiles with flour. Beat egg whites until they become stiff and peaks form. Beat yolks with water, 3 tablespoons flour, and salt until thick and creamy. Fold the yolks into the whites and dip the chiles in the mixture.
8. Fry in 2-3 inches of oil until they become golden brown. (I usually use about an inch and turn them over).
9. Serve with your favorite salsa, refried beans, and yellow rice.
