Poblano Chilies With Black Beans And Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Broil poblano chiles on a foil-lined baking sheet, turning occasionally, until blackened, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam 15 minutes. Peel, seed, and finely chop.
• Meanwhile, toast seeds in a small dry skillet over medium-high heat, tossing occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes; transfer to a plate. Toast pasilla chile in same skillet until slightly darkened and pliable, about 1 minute; transfer to plate.
• Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft and golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a blender, add tomatoes and pasilla chile, and blend until smooth.
• Return tomato mixture to saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until thick, 6-8 minutes. Stir in broth; season with salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until soup is slightly thickened, 10-15 minutes. Stir in black beans and poblano chiles. Cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
• Serve soup topped with queso fresco and pumpkin seeds, and with lime wedges alongside.
• DO AHEAD: Soup can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.

Steps:

• Roast the chiles:.
• Roast the chilies by broiling three to five minutes on each side. The skin will begin to char and get black spots. Remove, cool a minute or two, then wrap in plastic wrap and let it sit five minutes. Remove the wrap and peel chilies.
• Keep the broiler on.
• Carefully cut a lengthwise slit into each chile and stuff with some cheddar cheese. Combine the flour, salt and pepper and dredge the chiles.
• In a large saucepan, heat 1/2" of shortening till very hot.
• Fold the egg yolks into the whites and working with 2 chiles at a time, dip the chiles into the egg batter and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown, no more than a couple of minutes. With a slotted spoon transfer the chiles (careful--they are delicate) to paper towels to drain.
• Arrange the chiles on a flameproof plate and sprinkle with sharp cheddar. Broil the chiles just long enough to melt the cheese.
• Serve immediately, accompanied by your favorite salsa. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Wash and dry all produce. Trim, then thinly slice scallions, keeping greens and whites separate. Mince garlic. Core and seed poblano, then cut into ½-inch squares. Drain and rinse beans.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey, breaking it up into pieces. Cook, tossing occasionally, until browned at the edges and no longer pink, 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Remove pan from heat and carefully pour out and discard any excess grease left by turkey. Return to medium-high heat and add scallion whites, poblano, and garlic. Cook, tossing, until lightly browned and softened, 5-6 minutes.
• Add chili powder to pan and toss to coat veggies. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add stock concentrate, beans, tomatoes, beef, and 1 cup water to pan and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and let simmer until thick and stew-like, about 10 minutes. Let it simmer longer for a stronger flavor. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide chili between bowls. Sprinkle with cheddar and scallion greens. Dollop with sour cream and serve.
