Grilled Poblanos In Garlic Oil Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a grill or griddle until very hot. Place whole peppers on cooking surface (if using a grill, lay a sheet of aluminum foil under peppers) and cook until skin is completely black and flesh is soft, about 20 minutes. Turn peppers every 2 to 3 minutes for even cooking.
• When completely charred, wrap peppers in newspaper or place in paper bag; set aside to cool at least 15 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove stems, seeds and skin, working gently to limit breakage.
• Cut peppers lengthwise in half, then into strips about 1/4-inch thick. Arrange peppers in a shallow dish and sprinkle with sliced garlic, salt and pepper. Add olive oil and thyme, cover and marinate at least 2 hours or, preferably, overnight.
• Serve at room temperature with crusty bread as an appetizer, or as a side dish with grilled fish, steak or pork. To serve on toast, slice bread and toast or grill just before serving. Drizzle toast with a little oil from dish, add a few pepper strips, and top with an anchovy.

Steps:

• Roast the poblano over an open flame or under the broiler until charred all over, turning as necessary, about 8 minutes. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam and loosen the skin, about 5 minutes. When cooled, peel off the blackened outer skin. Slice into thin strips, and then into 1-inch pieces.
• Cook the mushrooms in a medium skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil. When almost softened, about 3 minutes, season with salt and pepper. Reserve.
• Lay out 4 slices of the bread on a work surface. Layer each with 1 slice of cheese, about 1 tablespoon of the chopped poblanos, 1 tablespoon of the mushrooms and another slice of cheese. Brush a thin layer of chipotle in adobo sauce on the underside of the remaining bread and close the sandwiches. Thinly and evenly spread the butter on both sides of the bread using about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter for each sandwich.
• Place 2 sandwiches into a medium skillet over medium heat. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the bread is evenly golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip, cover again and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is visibly melted, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients, except for the olive oil and salt and pepper, into a medium size mixing bowl and mix well. Whisk the olive oil into the mixture in a slow steady stream until fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat a lightly oiled grill on medium-high heat.
• While the grill is heating up, prepare the pico de gallo. In a small mixing bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, cilantro, garlic, salt and lime juice. Set aside.
• Next, prepare the grilled portabella filling. Remove the stems from the portabellas, and discard. Using a spoon, scrape out the dark gills from the underside of the mushroom caps.
• Lightly brush the portabellas and the onions on both sides with canola oil, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• Arrange the mushrooms, onion, and poblano on the hot grill, and cook for 5-6 minutes per side or until the mushrooms are softened and the onion is lightly charred. Remove from heat and transfer to a cutting board.
• Remove the stem and seeds from the poblano, and discard. Cut the poblano and the portabellas into thin strips, and roughly chop the onion. Transfer to a mixing bowl and toss with lime juice and chipotle powder until well coated.
• To assemble, arrange 2 tortillas per plate, and divide the mushroom filling evenly between them. Serve with pico de gallo and bowls of the different toppings so that everyone can garnish their tacos as they please.

Steps:

• Cut each pepper in half and remove the seeds. Stuff peppers with cheese; set aside., Combine the seasonings; rub over pork. Grill, covered, over medium-hot heat until a thermometer reads 145°, about 15 minutes. Place peppers over indirect heat; cook until peppers are tender and cheese is melted, about 8-10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Make the salsa: Place the poblano peppers and the tomatoes over a medium gas flame, either on a grill or right on the burners. Rotate the vegetables every few minutes so that the skins don't completely blacken. Remove the vegetables once their skins are blistering and just partially charred. Let the vegetables cool a bit. Remove the skins of the vegetables with a paring knife. Cut the poblanos into 1/2 inch wide strips, and set them aside.
• Cut the tomatoes into 1/2 inch cubes, and put them into a bowl. Add onions, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeno, salt and pepper to the bowl. Mix well. Chill the salsa if you won't be making the frittata within the next few hours.
• Make the chips: Stack the tortillas and cut the stack into six wedges. Spread the pieces on a baking sheet, lightly salt them and bake them for 10 minutes or until they are crisp. Remove the chips from the oven but keep the oven on.
• Make the frittata: Heat the olive oil in a 10 to 12 inch non-stick oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs, and stir them for the first minute of cooking with a plastic spatula. Let the eggs rest for a few seconds, then push the frittata to one side of the pan so the uncooked egg runs underneath.
• When the frittata is still moist but no longer runny, sprinkle it with salt, pepper and the shredded Jack cheese.
• Place the poblano strips in a star shape on top of the cheese. Bake the frittata in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes or until it is just set. Remove the skillet from the oven and stick the tortilla chips around the edge of the frittata. Take the skillet to the table and cut the frittata into wedges. Serve with the salsa.

Steps:

• Heat greased grill to medium-high heat.
• Mix dressing, lime zest, juice, garlic and spices until blended; reserve 1 Tbsp. mixture. Pour remaining mixture over steak in shallow dish; turn to evenly coat both sides. Refrigerate 1 hour to marinate.
• Meanwhile, cut chiles in half; remove and discard seeds and ribs. Spray with cooking spray; grill 5 to 7 min. or until crisp-tender and slightly charred, turning occasionally. Remove from heat; place in paper bag. Peel and discard skin. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade.
• Grill steak 5 min.; turn steak. Add onions, brushed with reserved dressing mixture; grill 5 min. or until steak is medium doneness (160°F) and onions are tender, turning onions after 3 min. Serve steak with onions, roasted chiles and lime wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• In a wide, shallow dish, combine the avocado oil, lime juice, brown sugar, cumin, oregano, paprika, chipotle powder, chile powder, garlic powder, and salt and whisk well. Add the cauliflower to the dish and coat each piece thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the poblano-pepita sauce, or for up to 2 hours.
• On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the poblanos, garlic, and jalapeños with 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. Roast for 30 minutes, or until the skin is beginning to pull away from the flesh of the peppers and the garlic is soft and golden brown. Add the pepitas to the pan and return to the oven for another 5-8 minutes, until beginning to brown.
• Transfer the poblanos, jalapeños, and garlic to a medium bowl and cover with a plate or plastic wrap. Set aside to cool for 30 minutes.
• Once cool enough to handle, carefully remove the skins, stem, and seeds from the poblanos and skins and stems from the jalapeños (remove the seeds too, if desired, for a more mild sauce, or keep them in for a little more heat). Peel the garlic.
• Add the poblanos, jalapeños, garlic, pepitas, cilantro, remaining tablespoon of avocado oil, the lime juice, and salt to a blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth. If the sauce is very thick, add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the consistency is smooth and spreadable. Transfer to a serving bowl and set aside until ready to serve. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Grill the cauliflower: Brush a cast-iron griddle pan with avocado oil and turn the heat to high. When the pan starts to smoke, add a few pieces of the marinated cauliflower. Grill for 7-8 minutes, until the cauliflower lifts easily from the pan and grill marks are visible. Flip and grill for another 4-5 minutes on the other side, until the cauliflower is easily pierced with a fork. Repeat with the remaining cauliflower.
• Transfer the cauliflower to a cutting board and roughly chop into ½-inch pieces. Discard any slightly tough or undercooked pieces of stem.
• Assemble the tacos: Spread about 1 tablespoon of the poblano-pepita sauce across a warm tortilla and top with cauliflower, cabbage, cilantro, and crema. Serve with lime wedges alongside.
• Store any leftover poblano-pepita sauce in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It can be served with eggs, in rice bowls, or tossed with grilled shrimp or your favorite protein.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Broil tomatoes, onion, and garlic in a foil-lined shallow baking pan 2 to 3 inches from heat, turning frequently, until lightly charred on all sides, about 5 minutes for garlic, 12 to 15 minutes for onion and tomatoes (flesh should be soft). Alternatively, char vegetables in a hot well-seasoned griddle or cast-iron skillet over moderate heat.
• Core tomatoes and peel garlic, then purée both with onion and salt in a blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot ingredients). Force through a large sieve into a bowl, discarding solids.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a wide 4-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until just hot. Stir about 1/2 cup tomato sauce into oil (this reduces spattering) and, when bubbling vigorously, add remaining sauce and basil. Fry sauce, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Add grapes, plantains, and mangoes to sauce and simmer gently, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened and fruit is tender but still intact, about 30 minutes. Season sauce with salt.
• While sauce is simmering, preheat oven to 350°F.
• Pour sauce over stuffed chiles and bake, covered with foil, until cheese is completely melted and sauce is bubbling, about 30 minutes.
