Chile Relleno (Non Fried)

The wife asked for more healthy food, so I had this idea of Chile Rellenos that I had a few years ago.

Roasted a few Poblano Peppers and then put them in a bag, and let them sit for about 15 minutes. Pulled them out and the skin came off easy.

For the Mixture. Brown Rice, Cilantro, Tomato, little Habanero Cheese, and grilled shrimp with a little dizzy pig. After I stuffed the Chile's I rolled them in Panko Crumbs and then put them on at 350 for about 30Minutes, after that poured a some Green Chile sauce on each (Didnt want them to get soggy).

The dish came out amazing, also had some of my famous Borracho Beans brewing throught out the day so that was a nice side.

Dont Know if it was heathy but it was damn good. Will make this one again.

    That looks terrifilicious!  =P~
  • Nice! Absolutely love chile rellenos! Could you make rellenos fried in the egg? If so would it be a good or bad idea? Any thoughts?

    Not sure about having hot grease sitting above an open flame. I guess if you used a Dutch oven and had the grease shallow in it.

    After watching William Shatners Grease fire commercial I am terrified.

  • Not trying to steal the thread, but here is another non-fried chile rellenos type dish.  The original recipe was from AZRP, but I modified it to our tastes, like using hamburger meat instead of pork, and adding corn tortillas throughout.  Anyway, folks rave over it.

    VI that looks pretty tasty.  One of my favorite things to do on the Egg is Casserole's. Plus the wife can eat on them for a few days if I am out of town.

  • Those look great! We do non fried ones as well. I use a lot of black beans in ours, and no rice though. Might have to make some this week now.

    Gary,

    I had an "accident" a while back trying to make rellenos and came up with something similar.

    Poblanos are very hard to come by in the GWN. Got a bunch and was planning on chilis rellenos.
    Burned the skins

    Put them in paper bags

    Had a coupla beers and didn't think about it being below freezing outside. Anyway they overcooled and couldn't pull the skin off.

    Trying to salvage the cook I decided to make a casserole
    Lined the pan with what I could salvage from the chilis
    image
    Put the Spanish rice on top
    image
    Some cheese on top
    image
    Some pork and chopped pork tenderloin with Mexican spice
    image
    Toasted tortillas
    image
    More cheese and tortillas grilled on the egg topped with more pablano
    image
    Some salsa and chorizo underneath
    image
    Just about ready now..Dayum

    I've always roasted them and removed the skins.

    Same here,  I dont really care for the chewy texture on the skin. Same with the Hatch Chiles always roast them.

  • Rellenos recipes look great.! I defiantly will be trying them all. I believe people remove the skins so that the flour/ batter will stay on the pepper.

    I'm absolutely, positively sure that I would not turn one of those away cause it had the skin on!
  •  I have been known to make Shepard's Pie Rellenos.  The family in STexas loves them.  Have also done a Relleno casserole at an Eggfest. Have also done a Relleno lasagna for my vegetarian cousin.  Poblanos are so versatile.
    Tuttle yours look very good....just might be stealing that cook and adding to my arsenal.

    Did a trial run tonight on some left over Poblanos, One Skin on and One Skin off. The Skin on had that thin layer of skin peeling off, but not a change in flavor than skin off.

    But I do perfer skin off, because the texture thing.
