Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Roast whole peppers over an open flame on a gas stovetop burner, turning frequently, until skins are evenly black and blistered. Transfer peppers to a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and let peppers sweat for a while; this will allow the skins to peel off easily.
  3. 3 While the peppers are sweating, cook ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat evenly browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes, onion, and garlic; cook for a few more minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. 4 Wear food-safe gloves if desired and remove peppers from the bag. Peel off and discard burnt skins. Run peppers under cool running water to rinse away any burnt pieces, then blot dry with a paper towel. Make a small vertical slit in the side of each pepper. Remove the seeds and veins through the slits.
  5. 5 Stuff each pepper halfway with beef mixture, then fill the rest of the way with shredded mozzarella. Close the slits and secure with toothpicks.
  6. 6 Beat egg whites in a large glass or metal bowl until thick and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks until blended in, about 1 minute. Place flour in a shallow bowl.
  7. 7 Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Coat stuffed peppers with a light dusting of flour, then dip into eggs until fully covered. Carefully place peppers into hot oil and fry on both sides until golden. Drain on paper towels, then serve on a large platter.

  1. 1 Poke holes all over the pork with a fork. Rub achiote paste all over the pork, and set aside. In a large bowl, mix together the orange juice, lemon juice, and habanero peppers. Mix in the cumin, paprika, chili powder, coriander, salt and pepper. Place pork in the mixture, cover, and refrigerate overnight, turning two or three times.
  2. 2 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Wrap the pork and marinade in aluminum foil or banana leaves that have been soaked in water for 30 minutes. Place into a casserole dish, and cover.
  3. 3 Bake for about 2 hours, until the meat falls off the bone. The slower you cook it, the better it is. You could also bake it in a 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) oven for 4 or 5 hours, or in a slow cooker without the foil or leaves.
  4. 4 While the pork is cooking, make the sauce. Bring the red wine vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan. Add onions, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until tender. Pour sauce over pork, and serve with white rice and corn tortillas. Each person can make tacos or fajitas with the pork, the rice and the sauce.
