Indian Stuffed Anaheim Chile Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• Cut stalk end of Anaheim peppers and remove seeds.
• Split small chili peppers, remove seeds and chop them finely.
• Put cream cheese and feta cheese in bowl an combine well (or use food processor). Season with pepper.
• Add chopped chili peppers and herbs and mix well.
• Stuff the peppers with the cheese mixture and chill for a few hours.
• When ready to serve, cut peppers into thin slices with a sharp knife and serve on a cracker as finger food.

Steps:

• Make a lengthwise slit in the peppers and remove the seeds.
• In a bowl, mix together crushed peanuts, salt, turmeric powder, coriander powder, dry mango powder and red chili powder.
• Generously fill peppers with the peanut mixture.
• Lightly coat outside of peppers with a little oil (using pastry brush or hands).
• Place peppers in a microwave safe dish and microwave for 3 minutes. Check the peppers and turn if necessary. Microwave for additional 2 minutes (or more as necessary - peppers should wilt a little but still hold their shape).
• Heat little oil in a flat skillet. Place peppers on the skillet to brown them. Flip the peppers and brown other side also. Some peanuts may spill out - it's ok.
• Remove from skillet and serve hot or at room temperature.
• Tip: Buy similar size peppers so they cook evenly.

Steps:

• Place pork in a large, heavy pot. Sprinkle with salt. Add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pork is brown, about 1 1/2 hours (when water has evaporated, pork will brown in its fat). Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place chiles directly over the flame of a gas-stove burner on high heat. Roast, turning with tongs, until blackened all over. (Alternatively, broil chiles on a baking sheet, turning, until skin has charred.) Transfer chiles to a large bowl, and cover immediately with plastic wrap. Set aside to steam, about 15 minutes. Peel chiles; discard skins. With stems intact, slit each chile lengthwise; carefully remove seeds and veins. Place, slit side up, on a baking sheet.
• Spread 2 tablespoons cheese in bottom of each chile, then fill with 1/3 cup pork. Sprinkle chiles with remaining 2 cups cheese. Spoon 1 tablespoon tomatillo sauce over top of each chile. Bake 15 minutes. Garnish with cilantro; serve with tortillas and remaining tomatillo sauce.

Steps:

• Wash the peppers. Cut off the stems and remove the seeds from inside. Do not break or tear the pepper.
• Puncture each pepper with a fork in 3-4 places. Stuff each pepper with the cheese. Avoid having any cheese sticking out of the top of your peppers.
• Broil them over the BBQ, electric grill until tender. Avoid burning the skin.
• When they are tender and the cheese is hot, place them in a deep dish and pour olive oil and balsamic vinigar over each one. Pour enough oil so that you can dip your bread into it.
• Sprinkle the garlic (optional) and sprinkle with salt. Cover and let stand for a couple of hours, swirling them around gently once in a while.
• Serve at room temperature. Can be stored in fridge for 3-4 days.
