Rajas Con Cerveza Pepper Strips With Beer And Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Char the poblano chiles directly over the gas flame on the stove or under the broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in a plastic bag and let steam for about 10 minutes.
• Add the oil to a heavy large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the corn and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Set aside.
• Peel and seed the chiles. Cut the chiles into 1/4 to 1/2-inch strips (rajas) and add the strips to the onion and corn mixture and saute until the corn is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the heavy cream and Mexican crema and cook until bubbling, about for 8 minutes. Add the cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Season the rajas with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving dish and serve.

Steps:

• To prepare poblanos: You can either roast them under the broiler or on a grill. If under the broiler, place whole washed peppers on a cookie sheet and broil, watching carefully and turning until blackened on all sides. Cool in a paper bag and peel under cold running water. This should take about 20 minutes (to broil) plus 10 to cool. Then, take the peeled peppers and slice into thin, long slices lengthwise.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Add sliced onions and salt to taste.
• Continue to cook over medium heat until onions are translucent. Once onions are cooked, add peppers to the pan, cover and cook until tender.
• Add beer, turn up heat to high and bring mixture to a boil. Boil until the liquid is absorbed by the peppers.
• When liquid is absorbed, lay cheese slices over peppers, cover, and continue to cook until cheese melts.
• Serve with your favorite tortillas (flour/corn), steamed or fried. (I like them steamed/heated up in a cloth napkin in the microwave, sprinkled with a little water).
