Chile Rellenos
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Place the poblanos on a cookie tray and broil for about 20 minutes until completely charred. Keep turning them as each side is charred.
  2. When done, carefully put the poblanos into a brown paper bag and fold down the top to keep the air in. Leave to cool. You can also put in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Be careful not to lift from the stalk as you want to keep them as intact as possible. (This step is optional, depending on if you want to eat the crispy skins or not)
  3. Preheat the oven to 350. Then, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil and gently fry the onion and jalapeño on low heat for about 5 minutes.
  4. Cut the corn off the cobs and add to the skillet, turn up the heat and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes until ingredients are slightly browned.
  5. Add the cumin, cilantro, lime juice and stir to mix. Season well with salt and pepper.
  6. Remove the peppers onto a board and gently remove the skins – they should peel off easily.
  7. Cut each pepper lengthwise making sure not to cut through the other side and then very carefully remove all the seeds with a spoon.
  8. Transfer the peppers to an oven proof dish and fill each generously with the corn mixture.
  9. Cover each poblano with 1/4 cup of grated cheese and either bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. The cheese should be bubbling when ready.
  10. Make the ‘Chipotle Lime Crema:’ mix up sour cream, adobo sauce, and 1 squeeze of lime juice. Serve on top of the chiles.
