Instructions

  1. 1 Stem, core, and seed peppers; discard stems, cores, and seeds.
  2. 2 Heat a large, heavy-duty skillet over high heat. Add peppers; cook until blistered and blackened, flipping frequently until tender.
  3. 3 Transfer peppers to a paper bag, fold top closed, and steam to loosen skin, about 3 minutes. Rinse peppers under cold water to remove as much skin as possible; set aside.
  4. 4 Heat about ½ inch oil in a separate large heavy-duty skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. 5 Insert 1 thick piece cheese into each pepper; secure opening with toothpicks. Coat peppers in flour.
  6. 6 Lower peppers carefully into hot oil in the skillet, reduce heat to medium, and fry until cheese melts and coating is golden and firm, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.

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.

Instructions

  1. 1 Char peppers over an open flame, turning often, until skin is black and they are almost soft. Wrap peppers in a few paper towels and then in a kitchen towel. Let steam in the towel for at least 15 minutes.
  2. 2 While peppers rest, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions, garlic, and a big pinch of salt; saute until onions turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in marinara sauce, 1 1/4 cup chicken broth, chili powder, oregano, pepper, more salt, cayenne, cumin, and cinnamon; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Add more chicken broth for a thinner sauce if desired. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Keep warm until needed.
  3. 3 Remove the charred skin and seedpods from the peppers and rinse out the loose seeds. Slice the pepper into 1/4-inch strips.
  4. 4 Crack 2 whole eggs into one bowl, and then separate 3 more eggs, with the whites going into another bowl, and the yolks going into the first bowl with the whole eggs.
  5. 5 Whisk until the bowl of whole eggs and yolks with a pinch of salt until light and airy. Gradually whisk in flour and set aside. Whisk the whites into soft peaks and use a spatula to fold the whites into the yolk mixture. You don't have to be too gentle, but the batter should end up light and foamy.
  6. 6 Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat, and place down a pepper-shaped or round-shaped layer of the batter, about 1/4-thick, using about 1/8 of the batter for each pancake.
  7. 7 Cover the surface with sliced pepper and cheese cubes and spoon and spread another 1/8 of the batter over the top, covering up as much of the peppers and cheese as possible, going all the way to the edges.
  8. 8 Cover and cook until the bottom is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, before flipping over. Cover and cook the second side until golden brown, or until the batter is cooked though, and the cheese inside has melted, 3 to 4 minutes.
  9. 9 Ladle sauce onto a plate or into a shallow bowl and top with a chile relleno pancake.
