baked chili rellenos
roast poblano chilies over a gas flame
until the skin chars and permeates the air with the
savory aroma of mexico
place your roasted chilies in a bowl and cover with a plate to "sweat".
this will make your chilies easier to peel
slit open the length of each peeled chili
carefully remove the seeds
where the heat of each chili resides
in a saucepan
place four coarsely chopped fresh tomatoes
with a little water
simmer
stuff each chili with queso ranchero and
carefully line them up side by side in a baking pan
cover with a lid or foil and bake for twenty minutes at 350
while your chilies are baking
chop and saute 1/2 of a small white onion
take your shimmering tomatoes and place in a blender add
3/4 tablespoon chicken bullion
"knorr jugosa in consume pollo"
the sauteed onion
ground fresh pepper to taste
add to the tomato mixture an equal amount of
la alpura crema
blend to a smooth mixture
when your chilies are finished baking
add the tomato crema over the top
and serve pipping hot

I just tried scotch bonnet pepper sauce for the first time in my life today. I love peppers of all kinds, but most of all I love the chilis you shared with us today. Thanks.

Love that artwork! Love the recipe. I just used the last of the roasted frozen New Mexican green chiles I had. I have been wanting to build a small roaster to use around here, maybe I will. We have quite a vibrant Mexican markwt in St. Paul and Minneapolis. Plenty of poblanos and other types available. A batch of chile verde is in our future. Thanks.
Peace

Chili rellenos are always my first meal when I get to Mexico. They weren't on the menu when we got to our "first night" restaurant but I asked and they made them for me anyway.
They were so good.
Beautiful art.

Ooooh very very nice Rebecca!! Love how you gave us step by step instructions. In fact the day before yesterday chili's were roasting out in the patio on a huge burner and this gal forgot all about them and they burned. TA DA! tee hee. Excellent painting you have there and chili rellenos are one favorite food to eat. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the rest of the week.

Oh how my mouth waters as I remember that day you arranged for us...roasting peppers, sipping tequila for breakfast and smashing garlic and tomatillos...your painting describes my taste-buds!

I had to come back and share my "ruby poem" with you, Rebecca. Enjoy!
HESTER’S LETTER
Hester’s letter, scarlet “A,”
Gave the gossips much to say,
But their rudeness she forbore,
For she knew she was no whore.
