Pork Stuffed Poblano Chiles Recipes

Steps:

• Roast poblano chiles over an open flame on a gas stove or grill until the skin is black and charred on all sides, turning often, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Place the charred chiles in a plastic bag or in a large bowl covered with plastic wrap. Allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then open and peel off the skin. Cut a slit in each chile lengthwise and remove the seeds.
• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add ground pork and cook until browned, breaking up with a spoon while cooking, about 7 minutes. Mix in tomatoes, plantain, apple, peach, parsley, candied orange peel, pine nuts, raisins, almonds, cloves, salt, and pepper. Simmer until filling is cooked through and flavors are well combined, about 10 minutes.
• Combine walnuts, milk, goat cheese, sugar, and cinnamon stick in a blender; blend until walnut sauce is smooth and creamy.
• Fill each poblano chile with the pork filling and place on a plate. Spoon walnut sauce over chile and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill on low heat.
• Butterfly tenderloin, rub with olive oil, and spread with garlic pesto. Add the spinach, basil and cheeses. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Wrap bacon around tenderloin and secure with wood skewers presoaked in water.
• Grill for 35 to 40 minutes on low heat. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Top with more cheese and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat a fryer to 375 degrees F.
• In a small saute pan coated lightly with oil, saute the black beans and garlic until soft, add the jalapenos, serranos, and saute 2 minutes, add the pork and cook about 8 to 10 minutes on low heat or until cooked through. Set aside and let cool.
• Add the chopped cilantro and cheese. Stuff each chile full. Dip each one in the tempura batter and fry until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Plating: On a large plate, ladle each half with the red and green sauces, yin-yang-like, if possible. Place a small mound of rice in the middle of the plate. Top with a poblano chile, drizzle with cilantro crema, and garnish with a cilantro sprig.
• In a large bowl, mix the cornmeal, and rice, and whisk in the soda until a pancake batter consistency is achieved.
• Transfer all ingredients to a blender and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a saucepan, coated lightly with oil, add the onions and garlic and sweat until soft. Add the jalapenos, bell pepper, cinnamon, season, and stock. Reduce by 50 percent then transfer to a blender. Puree until smooth and check for seasoning.
• Mix all ingredients together and refrigerate until needed.

Steps:

• Roast the poblano chiles over an open gas range or broil. Turn with tongs for even roasting, about 5 minutes each. Make sure you get the chiles blackened and blistered all over. Be careful not to overcook so they have shape to hold the stuffing when baking. Place poblanos in a sealed, gallon size plastic bag and cover with towel for about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook ground pork until slightly browed. Add cumin, cayenne, chili powder, salt, pepper, shallots, green onions, green chilies and corn. Cook for additional minute. Cool slightly.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix the pork mixture with the rice. Add the HIDDEN VALLEY RANCH DRESSING and stir. Remove chilies from bag. Using a paring knife, gently rub the skin off of the flesh of each chile. Wipe the surface of the flesh with paper towels to remove the excess skin.
• Slit each poblano lenghtwise. Stuff the pork and rice mixture into poblanos. Lay chilies in a 3x5 dish. Bake for about 35 minutes. Sprinkle with additional Monterey Jack cheese and heat for another 3 to 5 minutes, until cheese is melted. Serve with avocado ranch sauce.
• For the sauce:.
• Mash the avocados and mix in the rest of ingredients. Blend with a stick blender until smooth.

Steps:

• Cut each pepper in half and remove the seeds. Stuff peppers with cheese; set aside., Combine the seasonings; rub over pork. Grill, covered, over medium-hot heat until a thermometer reads 145°, about 15 minutes. Place peppers over indirect heat; cook until peppers are tender and cheese is melted, about 8-10 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook pork:
• Put pork in a 3-quart heavy saucepan with salt, onion slice, garlic, thyme, and enough cold water to cover by 1/2 inch and bring to a boil, skimming foam. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until pork is very tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Cool pork in liquid, uncovered, 15 minutes. Drain, then cut pork into 1/3-inch dice. Discard onion, garlic, and thyme.
• Make filling:
• Cook onion and garlic in oils in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Add tomatoes, thyme, bay leaves, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, nutmeg, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar, and 3/4 teaspoon salt and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes have broken down and sauce is slightly thickened, 20 to 30 minutes.
• While tomatoes simmer, cut an X in bottom of peach, then immerse in boiling water until skin begins to loosen, 10 to 30 seconds. Transfer peach to a bowl of cold water to stop cooking, then peel, pit, and dice (1/3 inch).
• Discard bay leaves, thyme sprig, and cinnamon stick from tomato mixture, then add diced pork and remaining filling ingredients and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until fruit is softened but still intact, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with additional salt, sugar, and vinegar.
• Make sauce:
• Purée walnuts and almonds in a blender with milk, cheese, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth and silky, about 2 minutes. (Sauce should thickly coat back of a large spoon. If sauce is too thin, add more almonds and puré. If too thick, add more milk.) Season with salt and sugar.
• Stuff and bake chiles:
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cut a lengthwise slit in each chile and carefully cut out seeds with kitchen shears, leaving stem intact. (For milder heat, carefully cut out ribs also.)
• Divide pork filling among chiles, then close, overlapping sides of openings slightly. Transfer, seam sides up, to a 13- by 9-inch shallow baking dish, then cover with foil and bake until just heated through, 15 to 25 minutes.
• Transfer chiles to plates, carefully turning them seam sides down. Pour about 1/3 cup walnut sauce over each chile, leaving some of chile visible, then sprinkle chiles with pomegranate seeds. Serve chiles warm or at room temperature.
