Equipment
- hand mixer optional
- blender
Ingredients
- 6 poblano peppers
- 6 pieces cheese (white cheese, mozzarella, or feta)
- 3 eggs
- ⅓ cup flour
- canola oil
For tomato sauce
- 5 tomaotes
- ⅛ onion
- 1 garlic clove
- salt
- canola oil
Instructions
- Wash the poblano peppers thoroughly. Next, place two or three directly on the flame of the stove or under heat, in order to separate the peel from the poblano pepper. You'll see once it starts to bubble up and breaks. Spin it with tongs or with the stem to distribute the heat evenly.
- Place each poblano in a plastic bag and tie it up. Allow all peppers to sweat inside for a while. This is effective for completely removing their skin. Then, peel away its skin and rinse with water.
- Then, cut a slit along the peppers and carefully remove the seeds, attempting to keep the entire pepper intact.
- After that, stuff the poblano pepper with cheese and close.
- Toss them in flour.
- Meanwhile, heat up some oil in a pan.
- Next, in a bowl, shake egg whites vigorously until the beaten eggs are thickened, then add yolks and shake vigorously again.
- Dip the poblano peppers into the beaten eggs and cook them immediately on the stove, flipping them to cook both sides. Make this as soon as you can before the beaten eggs become undone.
- To make the tomato sauce, add garlic, cut tomatoes and onion, and blend them together. Strain sauce, season with salt, and fry in hot oil until the sauce is slightly reduced.
- Pour the sauce over the stuffed poblano peppers.
- Serve and enjoy!
