How to Make Chiles Rellenos

This is how I like to make chiles rellenos. I focus mostly on taste here, but if you want to spend the extra time go ahead and make them look nice too. Enjoy! Oh yeah, and I did put Oregano in the sauce... just forgot to get video of it. Also, water helps wash seeds and heat out, but also flavor, so if you can handle a LITTLE bit of heat, don't wash them out!

Just want to be clear, the whole coating is whipped egg whites with the returned yolkes. No other spices, or powders?

@cliffcox66, I mix some salt into the yolks before I fold them in, but I don't use any other ingredients for the coating. I have tried mixing some flour into it as well, but it doesn't hold the form as well.

how much chicken broth do you use?

[simplestep]

@ThePinkBubbles87, Use just enough to the get the consistency you want. The broth is actually not even necessary if you want it nice and thick. Just salt to taste.

So I made it your way this afternoon, it was fricking delicious! My peppers fell apart slightly after roasting but they turned out ok once I held them together with the sticks. I aso changed the batter slightly, I mixed some flour and beer in with the egg yolk before folding in the whites. Some spanish rice and beans on the side I was a winner for the afternoon! Thanks for the video :)

@Apollosviper - Great idea with the flour and beer! I've been adding flour to my egg batter lately as well. Glad you enjoyed it!

When you prepare the entire dish at one time it can be a lot work to clean up, so if you can do part of it in advance that would make it much easier. I would recommend cooking the shrimp first. I would also recommend preparing the chiles and stuffing them in advance, and then you could even lightly dust them with flour and freeze them if you wanted. They would hold the shape better that way, just make sure you keep them hot somehow after frying so it's not cold in the middle. Good Luck!

good tip my mom taught me is to dip the chiles in the flour first then in the egg batter, the egg will hold on to the chile better...enjoyed the video!!

The tamatillo is a berry and is related to the gooseberry.

Never ever rinse the pepper after u roast it... Makes all the difference in the world!!

To make this great recipe even healthier and low in fat skip the egg and the frying part and instead just put the chiles in a small baking dish, pour the sauce on top of them and bake at 325 F for 10-15 minutes or until you see the cheese is melting or starting to float.

Take it out of the oven and sprinkle with shredded cheese (the same kind you are using or replace it with 2% "Queso Quesadilla" , "String Cheese", or "Mozarella low fat") and serve. Bon Appetite :)
