Roasted Poblano Cheesy Rice Recipes

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:

• Roast the poblano peppers. Like the author of this recipe, I hold them over the flame on the stove using tongs (or just a fork!) and keep turning them until they're blackened. I put them into a paper bag and fold it over and wait for them to cool. Then I peel the skin off which is usually not too difficult if they're fully cooled.
• Dice the poblanos.
• Preheat oven to 350. In the meantime, melt butter in a large pan. When hot, saute onions until caramelized. Add poblanos and saute 2 minutes more, until peppers and onions are well mixed.
• In a large bowl, mix the cooked rice with the onion/poblano mix. Add cottage cheese, sour cream, and 1 1/2 c shredded cheese.
• Put seasoned rice in a buttered, oven safe casserole dish. Top with remaining 1/2 c shredded cheese. Bake until rice is warmed through and the cheese on top has melted and turned light brown.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium, heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the poblano chiles and saute, about 8 minutes. Mix in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with the salt and pepper. Add 1 cup broth and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and let cool.
• Transfer the mixture to a blender and process until smooth, about 1 minute. Measure the liquid yield from the blender, adding more chicken broth if necessary to yield 2 total cups of poblano liquid. Adjust seasoning to taste.
• Meanwhile, clean the skillet, place over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Fry the rice until slightly golden. Pour the poblano puree into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Turn down the heat to medium-low and cover tightly. Cook for 30 minutes, turn off the heat and let rest for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In large skillet, fry bacon until crisp; drain on paper towels; crumble and set aside. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons bacon drippings.
• In hot drippings, cook onions and green pepper until tender, stirring often, about 10 minutes.
• Into measuring cup, drain tomatoes; add enough chicken broth to the tomato liquid to make 1 3/4 cups. Cut up tomatoes.
• To onion mixture, add chicken broth liquid mixture, tomatoes, tomato sauce, garlic powder, sugar, salt -- and, if using -- cayenne or chili powder. Heat to boiling. Grease a 1-1/2 quart casserole.
• Remove mixture from heat and stir in rice; pour into casserole. Cover and bake 35 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Stir lightly with fork. Sprinkle with cheese and bake uncovered for 5 minutes. Garnish with crumbled bacon and serve.

Steps:

• Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute peppers in butter until slightly soft, about 5 minutes. Add onion powder and garlic powder. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add rice and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and fluffy, about 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Melt butter in large skillet on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Add onions and corn; cook 5 min. Add chiles; cook 1 min.
• Stir in cream cheese and milk; cook 2 to 3 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat. Stir in rice; top with cheese. Serve immediately.
