Serves:
Ingredients
- 4 large poblano peppers
- 1 cup of shredded cheese (such as Monterey Jack or Oaxaca cheese)
- 2 eggs, separated
- ¼ cup of all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 cup of tomato sauce
- ¼ cup of diced onion
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon of ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast for about 15 minutes, or until the skins are blistered and charred. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
-
While the peppers are cooling, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, mix the shredded cheese with one egg yolk until well combined.
-
Carefully peel the skin off the roasted peppers, leaving the stems intact. Make a small lengthwise slit on each pepper and carefully remove the seeds and membranes.
-
Stuff each pepper with the cheese mixture, being careful not to overfill.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the flour and salt.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dip each stuffed pepper into the egg batter, coating it evenly.
-
Fry the peppers in the hot oil until golden brown on all sides, turning gently with tongs. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
-
In a saucepan, heat the tomato sauce over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, dried oregano, and ground cumin. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the flavors are well combined.
-
Serve the fried peppers on a plate, topped with the tomato sauce. Enjoy!
