Fried Poblano Pepper Rings Recipes

Steps:

• Slice poblanos in rings about 1/4 inch wide and remove seeds. Mix flour, salt and pepper in shallow bowl. Dip chile rings into milk and flour mixture.
• Carefully place in hot oil in deep-fryer or saucepan with about 3 cups oil (oil should be almost to the smoking stage when chilies start cooking). Fry until golden brown. Lightly salt and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and place the peppers onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 8 to 10 minutes per side. When the peppers are about 80 percent blackened, place them a plastic bag, seal, and allow the peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Once cool, remove the skins and discard. Cut a slit lengthwise into the side of each pepper, and remove seeds and veins. To reduce spiciness, rinse out any remaining seeds with water. Pat the peppers dry with paper towels.
• Mix together the shredded mozzarella, Monterey Jack, and Cheddar cheese in a bowl until thoroughly blended. Divide the cheese into 4 portions, and squeeze each portion lightly in your hands to make a cone shape. Insert a cone into the slit in each pepper, and pin the openings closed with toothpicks. Dredge each pepper in flour, dust off the excess, and place on a small baking sheet lined with parchment paper or waxed paper. Place the peppers in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
• To make sauce, blend the stewed tomatoes in a blender until pureed, and set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat, and cook and stir the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cook and stir for about 30 seconds, and pour in the pureed tomatoes, chicken broth, vinegar, oregano, cumin, black pepper, hot pepper sauce, and cinnamon. Reduce to medium-low, and simmer the sauce until reduced by half and thickened, about 20 minutes, stirring often.
• Preheat an oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C), and warm a platter in the oven.
• To make batter and finish the chiles rellenos, mix 1/3 cup flour with salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until the whites form stiff peaks. Lightly mix the egg yolk and flour-salt mixture into the egg whites to make a fluffy batter. Remove peppers from freezer and coat them in flour again; shake off excess flour, and dip each pepper into the egg batter, using a spoon to gently but completely coat each pepper with batter.
• Heat frying oil in a heavy cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers. Gently lay the coated peppers into the hot oil, and fry on both sides until the batter is golden brown and the cheese filling is hot, about 5 minutes per side. Remove peppers to warmed platter while you finish frying. To serve, ladle a generous spoonful of sauce onto plate, and place pepper on sauce. Serve peppers hot with a dollop of sour cream.

Steps:

• Slice peppers into 1/4 inch rings; remove and discard seeds and membranes. Set aside.
• Combine eggs and milk, stirring well. Combine breadcrumbs and cheese, stirring well.
• Dip pepper rings into egg mixture, and dredge in flour. Dip again into egg mixture, and then dredge through the breadcrumb/cheese mixture, coating well.
• Pour oil to a depth of 2 inches in a Dutch oven. Heat to 375 degrees.
• Fry pepper rings 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C). Grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.
• Cut the bell peppers carefully around the stem and remove the stem and seeds. Cut the peppers crosswise into ½-inch (1 cm) slices.
• In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Add the eggs to a separate bowl and whisk. Add the flour to a third bowl.
• Dredge the bell pepper rings in the flour, then the eggs, then finally in the bread crumb mixture, making sure to coat all sides.
• Arrange the bell pepper rings on the baking sheet.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown on both sides.
• Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
• Enjoy!
