JALAPEñOS RELLENOS (STUFFED JALAPENOS)
Soledad Díaz of Oaxaca's El Topil restaurant serves these with mezcal. For those that LOVE hot peppers!! The heat is wonderful in this dish and the stuffing aids in cooling it down. Oh Yum! Posted for the Zaar World Tour 2005.

Steps:
- Trim and discard stem ends of 8 jalapeño chiles (always wear rubber gloves when handling hot chiles). Scrape seeds and veins out of each chile with a thin-bladed knife.
- Mash together queso fresco (fresh Mexican cheese), cilantro and mint leaves, and yellow onion. Stuff chiles with mixture, dividing it equally between them.
- Sauté chiles in a lightly oiled nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until soft and all sides are browned, about 15 minutes.
CHILE RELLENOS
I'm posting this recipe especially for all those ex-pats out there who can't pop out to a Mexican restaurant when they get the craving. It is admittedly a "fiddly" recipe, but making it myself is the only way I can ever get to eat what is one of my most favorite Mexican dishes. After making it once, you'll find that it isn't so difficult. And for those of you living in Europe as I do, I've discovered that the long and slender dark-green chiles found in Turkish and Moroccan vegetable markets work well, and for the cheese I use a white French Pyrenees cheese that is a suitable substitute for Monterey Jack. This seems to be a dish that varies widely from region to region in how it is prepared; this version is the type I always enjoyed the most.

Steps:
- For the Sauce:.
- Combine the tomatoes, garlic and onion in a food processor and process until liquid.
- Heat 1 TBS olive oil in a saucepan and add mixture; cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chicken broth, salt, jalapenos and cinnamon; simmer gently for 15 minutes more.
- For the chiles:.
- Place the chiles on a baking sheet in a 450°F oven, turning occasionally, until the peels begin to brown and blister all over.
- Remove from oven and place in a plastic bowl and cover with a plate; allow to stand for 10 minutes (alternatively, they can be placed in a brown paper bag for the same length of time).
- After this time, carefully peel the skins away but keeping the chiles intact, including stems.
- Cut a slit (only as big as is needed) along the side of each chile, and slide a piece of cheese in each; if the chile tears open, you can close and secure with wooden toothpicks.
- Roll the filled chiles in flour and evenly coat; set aside.
- Beat the egg whites in a bowl until stiff.
- In another bowl, lightly beat the yolks then add them to the whites, folding in lightly but thoroughly.
- Pour peanut oil to a depth of 1/4 inch in a large frying pan and heat to 365°F; you will be able to tell that it is hot enough without a thermometer if when you drop a bit of flour into the oil it quickly begins to brown.
- Dip each chile in turn into the egg mixture, coating evenly and sliding any excess off with your fingers, then place immediately in the hot oil (I only fry three at a time).
- Fry till golden, turning on all sides (they should be done in 1-2 minutes); remove and drain on paper toweling.
- Repeat with remaining chiles.
- Remove any toothpicks that you may have used!
- Serve topped with the sauce.
CHILES RELLENOS JALAPENOS
In some parts of Mexico, making chiles rellenos with jalapenos instead of the traditional poblano chiles would be downright scandalous. But in Tijuana, where Marcela Valladolid grew up, cooking traditions are meant to be broken. The city, just on the other side of the U.S. border, is a sort of culinary melting pot because it attracts people from all over Mexico. "We're a newer city, as opposed to Oaxaca or Puebla, which have very deeply rooted traditions and recipes," she says. "In Tijuana, we're allowed to play with our food."

Steps:
- Make the pickled onion: Combine the red onion, lime juice, olive oil, oregano and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Let stand 30 minutes or up to 1 day; drain.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce: Fill a medium pot with water and add the tomatoes, onion and garlic. Bring to a boil and turn off the heat; let cool. Drain the ingredients, then transfer to a blender and puree until smooth; season with salt. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan; add the tomato mixture and cook until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
- Prepare the jalapenos: Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Fry the jalapenos until blistered, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then place in a bowl and tightly cover with plastic wrap. Let steam about 15 minutes, then peel off the blistered skins using a paring knife or rub with a kitchen towel. Using a sharp small knife, cut a T in each jalapeno, starting at the top of the pepper and running almost to the bottom. Using a very small spoon or the tip of the knife, carefully remove the seeds and veins. Set the peppers aside.
- Make the filling: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a medium skillet. Add the potato and cook, stirring, until golden and crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate using a slotted spoon. Add the carrot, onion and garlic to the skillet; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 5 minutes. Add the beef and cook, breaking up the meat, until it starts browning, about 5 minutes. Add the raisins and potato. Cook, stirring, until the meat is cooked through, about 10 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Reheat the sauce, adding up to 1/2 cup water if it is too thick. Divide the beef mixture among the jalapenos. Top with the tomato sauce and pickled red onion.

Steps:
- Char the chiles.
- Turn a gas burner on high. Char the chiles on the burner grate, turning with tongs (Marcela is a pro and uses her hands!), until blackened all over. Or char the chiles under the broiler.
- Let them soften.
- Transfer the charred chiles to a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag and close. Let stand 10 minutes. The chiles will steam in the bag, making them soft and easy to peel.
- Remove the skin.
- Gently rub the chiles with paper towels to remove as much skin as possible. It's okay if a few flecks remain-they'll add flavor, so don't rinse them off.
- Open the chiles.
- Using a paring knife, make a slit across the top of a chile just below the stem, leaving the stem intact. Starting from the middle of the slit, slice lengthwise down to the tip of the pepper (cut through only one layer). Open the chile like a book and pull out the seeds and inner membranes. You may need to use a paring knife to loosen the top of the seedpod. Repeat with the remaining chiles.
- Prepare the sauce.
- Puree the tomatoes, onion and garlic in a blender until smooth. Warm the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the tomato puree and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally; the sauce will be broth-y. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
- Make the filling.
- Place the cheese in a bowl, then add the oregano, crumbling and rubbing it with your fingers to release its flavor. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
- Stuff the chiles.
- Fill each chile with about 1/4 cup cheese mixture. Fold in the sides to cover the filling, then thread 2 toothpicks across the seam to form an X. You will probably need to make a second toothpick X to secure each chile so the filling doesn't leak out when you fry.
- Mix the batter.
- Beat the egg whites with a mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Add the egg yolk and beat 3 more minutes.
- Batter and fry.
- Heat about 1 inch vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
- Dredge: Pour flour into a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. One at a time, coat the stuffed chiles with the flour.
- Batter: Holding each chile by the stem, lower it into the egg batter to cover completely. Let any excess batter drip off.
- Fry: Add the chiles to the hot oil, 1 or 2 at a time; fry, flipping once with tongs, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Eat!
- Place a fried chile on each plate and pour the warm sauce over it. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place peppers onto the prepared baking sheet, and cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, about 10 minutes. Turn the peppers often to blacken all sides. Place the blackened peppers into a bowl, and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow the peppers to steam as they cool, about 15 minutes.
- Rinse cooled peppers under cold water to peel off the skins, and cut a slit along the long side of each pepper to remove the seeds and core. Rinse the peppers inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels. Stuff the peppers with strips of the cheese.
- Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl with the baking powder. In a second metal bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until the whites form stiff peaks. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture. Place flour into a shallow bowl.
- Heat the vegetable shortening in a skillet over medium heat. Roll each stuffed pepper in flour, tap off excess flour, and dip the peppers into the egg mixture to coat both sides. Gently lay the coated peppers into the hot shortening. Fry peppers until lightly golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes per side.
