Stuffed Anaheim Peppers (w/pics)

chuckls

While at the store picking up some jalapenos for ABTs, I heard a lady comment to her friend about roasting anaheim peppers, so on an impulse I got some.

I stuffed with pimento cheese (recipe courtesy Pakak)

Then plugged the end with an onion wedge to keep the cheese from leaking out

And onto the grill at 325, indirect with a pizza stone

After about an hour, they were done

I then made bacon-wrapped boneless chicken thighs stuffed with more pimento cheese, and that was dinner!

chuckls,[p]Anaheim peppers are typically "roasted" to char the skin for removal. It's really kind of tough as I'm guessing you found out. I did some on my egg the other day and it worked beautifully with the lid up and the fire blazing. Char them black and then rest/steam in a paper bag. The skin comes right off.[p]

chuckls,[p]How'd ya like that pimiento cheese? I usually have a hard time keeping it around until I'm ready to make something on the egg ... it keeps disappearing. BTW - it was bigmikej who posted the pimiento cheese recipe originally and he got it out of Southen Living.[p]Wow, those Anaheims make for some big-uns, don't they? Sorta like rellenos but without the batter and without the deep fat frying.

Pakak,[p]¡Que interesante! I just looked it up. Relleno = stuffed

chuckls

drbbq,[p]Yup, you're right about the tough skin. Thanks for the tip - next time "lid up and fire blazing"! Can I still stuff them? I guess we'll see...[p]Chuck

Pakak,[p]The pimento cheese is great! I substituted half the mayo for softened cream cheese. I also threw in some pepper jack that I had left over and needed to use.[p]The recipe makes lots, so I divided it into thirds & foodsaver'd two of them. Just enough left for ABT's this afternoon - my butt is just about ready to come off, and that'll be the meat on the ABTs this time.[p]Chuck

drbbq,
And if you have a bunch, a bowl to hold them all with some tight plastic wrap stretched over the top will steam the skins off as well.

chuckls,
It's a two step deal. Char, steam, peel, then stuff and cook again. They'll get pretty soft though so grilling may not work. [/b]
