Foodies Delight – Stuffed Bell Pepper (Chiles Rellenos)

X

Hi! Hola! Previt! Bon Jour! Ciao! Guten Tag! Sign up Now! for fun info on traveling to Latin America!

This is one of my favs. Since I’m Russian by birth, my mom has cooked stuffed peppers for me since I was a young girl. Granted, these are completely different then my mom’s cooking, but the same sense of taste resonates through and through.

INGREDIENTS

4 bell peppers
1/2 pound of ground beef or chicken
1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup fresh coriander, chopped finely
2 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
oil

SUPPLIES

baking sheet
cooking pot
frying pan
bowl

Cook It Up!

Anoint the peppers with oil and place them on the baking sheet and into the oven to broil on all sides until skin curls. If you don’t have a broiler option, you can bake the peppers for about one hour with the same results. Let cool and then peel and remove seeds. In a pot cook the oil, beef/chicken, onion, garlic powder, coriander and salt and pepper until the meat is done. In the bowl beat the eggs. Fill the peppers with the meat mixture and dip into the egg batter before frying them in oil on all sides.

Serve it Up!

Serve immediately. And again, this dish is great with the cabbage salad on the side.
