Cooking with Chef Johnny Vee: Chile Rellenos

[jimmydidit23]

I'm from New Mexico, my family has been here over 300 years...this is all wrong! This is a nice attempt if you were serving this dish in New York, in some fusion resturant but here in the southwest it is blasphemy!

[TheMrpalid]

wait, you didn't take the stem and seeds out?

This is a great variation to Chiles Rellenos. The recipe varies from state to state in Mexico some filled with fresh cheese some with meat etc.

I usually use a Poblano pepper.

[Nekrosculptor]

I'm sorry, but those are not chiles rellenos, you have lots of mistakes... I'm from México...

[jsumudio]

@Nekrosculptor Nobody cares.

[watsonvillian]

@Nekrosculptor I know a lot of mexican's who can't cook. Put up a better video or pipe down.

[JJx7894]

those chiles look small we mexicans use the big ones i dont know what they are called

[signingupisretarded]

@JJx7894 Those are anaheim's; very common in the US southwest with Hatch NM being a well known growing area. The chilies you are probably thinking about are poblano's.

[chanycr92]

hey where's the egg in the flour ...???

and to make real mexican sauce for the chile rellenos u need tomatoes garlic onion consome " chicken flavor" water & then blend...

and real chile rellenos "real mexican style" we use egg for the arina 

[petmycatwiththose]

Nice job... l ove the way he leans back after tasting...

[11you11]

pretty dark

[PCOStherealdeal]

YUM! I'm making these tonight for my bf on Valentines day! He LOVES when I cook him mexi food.

[liquidfylth]

Thanks a lot dude, now my mouth won't stop watering.

[carnypimp]

goat cheese is the white stuff well real mexicans use goat cheese.

[tcmeowmixtc]

Loved the idea of the thinned sour cream for the plate. Making these tomorrow. Thanks!

[skept214]

thats more like stuffed chile poppers than real Chile Rellenos , i thought you were suppose to use pablano peppers for that. and use egg's whipped to cover them and dip them in the oil. thumbs down for you siR

[petmycatwiththose]

@skept214 Wheres your cooking vid at...I'd love to see you make them with poblanos... and then you can show us how you use the whipped eggs... If you can't produce a cooking vid with your method, thumbs down to you SIR... OH, and you spelled POBLANO wrong...

[phuckugugu]

A strong mind is not afraid of considering contrary opinions.

And oh my god does eveyone "talk street" these days? Those are not the people to emulate.

[cincingr]

MMMMMM can't wait to try this recipe! Looks good....thank you for posting this recipe.

[Murdilizer]

awseome, totally loved it, thanks...

[peaches5712]

Where did you get the stovetop grill??? I would really like to find one for myself! Thank you....great teaching video too!

[mikestucker]

I want to know why you don't do the eggs to coat the chile rellenos. I have seen some of these mexican chefs use a egg white, and mix that to a stiff peak, and then lightly stir in the egg yokes. Then coat the chile in a flour and then into the egg mixture.

So what I am tring to say is I would like request a steps into this traditional recipe.

Plus I would love to know how to roast and peel the skin off the plablano peppers.

Thank you for your time.

[kipperoncrack]

Dam look at all these haters. If you guys could do better than make your own dam video. I bet the end result is some dam good chile rellenos. You're just gonna shit it out anyway. Nice video!

[judyrice33]

I too would love to know where to get a stovetop grilling pan like that...It's awesome!

[XKaylaxKills]

WTF.!! You don't use beer batter for Chile Rellenos.!!! You use some eggs and flour and make a batter out of it.!!

[mamijessica21]

am sorry but you are wrong we don't cook like that the ciles rrellenos first of all we use chile poblano and we don't use any beer so learn and then cook

[XKaylaxKills]

@mamijessica21 That's how we do! You got that shit ;)

[kipperoncrack]

@mamijessica21 Okay, you learn how to spell and use punctuation, then put your two sense in. Because if you don't, then you'll sound like a complete dumbass. Oh yeah, people have their preferences, also make your own video. I'd love to see you in front of the camera.

[pcalvinski]

Not a bad video, but what's with the totally lame advertisements in there? Fuzzy and unreadable in any case.

And so easy to just jump over.

[cassleer]

Where can I find the roasting pan you had when you were roasting the chiles?

[jmtrevino1127]

@cassleer totally I want one of those too....Chef I know your reading this can you please post and let us know where we can get one

Many thanks and much love....Oh by the way don't mind these negitive post about your beer batter I have done them with beer batter and the whipping eggs way they are YUMMY

[iGivePhr33Pain]

the slit method is clever,( no toothpicks) but it seems like all the seeds would be unpleasant - though I must say most of the mexican restaurants at which I have had these still do have plenty of seeds. And I have had them both ways but the chile powder roux is more common at the restaurants in my area. The boiled or roasted tomato/garlic/chile sauce may be more traditional. The beer batter seemed to adhere nicely - better than some of the beaten egg white batters I have seen.

[bochitobug]

With all my respect to you chef, but This is your OWN PERSONAL Mexican recipe.

We do not add many condiments like you did, also we really make the salsa roja in other way (boiling tomatoe, chiele, etc).

ONE OF THE SECRET OF MEXICAN AND LATIN FOOD IS THAT WE TAKE TIME FOR COOKING (NOT IN 20 OR 35 MINUTES) WITH NATURAL INGREDIENTS.

I´m a Mexican

[MazzyDreamer]

@bochitobug I'm not Mexican but I too learned the real way to make them from my Mexican Friend and it takes A LONG TIME, I don't use a beer batter, I whip the eggs myself till my arm hurts. This guy makes it way too fast.

[Guerrier87]

monterey jack cheese goes well in this stuffed chiles recipe too.

[AbbeyNormal]

Oh man I can't wait to try this out at home. I've never done a beer batter on chile rellenos before. Saved for future reference!

[rhart1964]

What kind of cheese do you use?

Great job, thanks!

[sfnmwebed]

It's white cheddar

[Nekrosculptor]

@sfnmwebed Chiles rellenos with white cheddar? You should use Oaxaca cheese

[signingupisretarded]

@Nekrosculptor He stuffed a chili. Quite literally that's all you need to do to have "chili relleno".

[vwdubgirl]

Gross no one wants to eat the seeds, you remove them carefully. I use my fingers or wash them out. I learned from my mom how to cook authentic Mexican food. :D

[trackerbar18]

Great tutorial videos on Mexican cooking, especially techniques for preparing and deep frying chile Rellenos. Please make more of them!

[trackerbar18]

After you made the small slit in the chile, how did you get rid of the seeds?

[Diogeneszero]

We actually did not remove the seeds.
