You loose too much of the flavor of the pepper. The peel comes off easily if you steam them in the bowl after roasting long enough. And I just pull the seeds out with my fingers if a few are left behind, no big deal and I pat them inside and out with paper towels. Works great!

For the best chili rellenos, Hatch green chilis are the only chilis to use. Anything else in NOT authentic. However Asadero cheese is on the right track to authentic.
Reviews: Most Helpful. Amy Jo McCord. OMG this was delicious! Pretty easy, too. I just won't leave the charred peppers sit for more than 15 minutes. I let them sit for an hour and they ripped very easy. These were awesome and not too painful to make!!
I have made rellenos before using a different but similar batter and I think the baking powder and dip in the flour makes all the difference. The only things I can suggest is some method tweeking. It was very difficult to remove the insides while the pepper was so soft and easy to tear. And the batter - I would suggest placing some of the egg batter into the oil and place the pepper on top and then spoon some more of the batter on top of the pepper and form it around the chile with a spatula.
It sounds like a lot but it is easy and provides better coverage and is less messy. Taste was right on! He could try mixing some sour cream in his sauce to see if he likes that better.

Finely chop the onion and garlic in a food processor. Saute the onion and garlic mixture in corn oil until translucent and golden, and almost caramelized.
This will take at least 10 minutes. Place the Roma tomatoes in a food processor and puree. Make sure to submerge the onion and garlic roux into the puree.
Process everything until all the ingredients are finely pureed. Pour that sauce back into the same saucepan, and add 5 cups of water and 2 teaspoons of salt. Crush a teaspoon and a half of Mexican oregano between your fingers and add it along with the fresh ground pepper, bay leaf, a pinch of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of ground cloves.
Bring mixture to a boil while whisking. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for about 45 minutes, or until you have a nice thick sauce. Cover the saucepan slightly vented so steam can escape, and whisk the sauce occasionally. You can keep the sauce warm over lowest heat, whisking as needed to refresh consistency until served, or reheat and stir before serving.
PEPPERS Keep the pepper stems intact and place on a grill or under broiler cooking on each side until evenly blistered and slightly blackened. Immediately place the peppers into a large plastic bag and allow to steam for about three minutes. Carefully slide the skin off of each pepper and discard. Cut a slit lengthwise down the side of each pepper you need it just big enough to slip a stick of cheese in.
Carefully cup each pepper with one hand and gently run water into the slit to flush out the seeds. Cut your cheese into 6 long thin sticks. Remove chiles from brine and blot dry with paper towels.
Stuff each chile with one cheese stick by slipping into the pepper slit. Don't panic if you tear a chile, flour and the egg batter will seal it up. If you're confident in the kitchen, feel free to use a heavy duty pot on the stove with a thermoteter to monitor your temperature. For torn chiles, apply some extra flour at the seam then slightly overlap the tear. Beat egg whites and a pinch of salt with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Pour the yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites and fold together lightly but thoroughly with a rubber spatula while keeping the whites fluffy. Use a rubber spatula "frost" a stuffed and floured chile. Hold chile by the stem and place carefully into the hot oil. Let them sit for 5 minutes.
Peel the peppers: Peel and rub off as much of the loose skin on the peppers as possible. It doesn't have to be perfect, just as much as you can. Cut a small slit down the middle of the peppers with a knife. If you don't want the peppers too spicy, you can remove some of the seeds. I like to leave them in as poblanos aren't typically super spicy to me, but that's personal preference. Stuff the peppers: Carefully stuff the peppers with the cheese. Some of the peppers will be extra fragile because of the roasting process and may tear — that's okay.
Just do the best you can. Gently close the opening of the peppers and secure it shut with toothpicks. Use as many as you need to ensure that the cheese won't ooze out during the frying process.
Set aside. Prepare for frying: Heat the oil frying oil in a large saucepan or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set aside. While oil is heating up, prepare the batter. Make the batter: Separate the egg whites from the yolks into two separate bowls — the whites into a large mixing bowl and the yolks into a small bowl. Using an electric hand mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
While continuing to beat the egg whites on low, add in the egg yolks one at a time until all of them are fully mixed in. The batter should be light, fluffy and smooth. Coat the peppers with batter: Place the flour and salt into a separate shallow bowl or plate.
Mix together to combine. Gently roll the stuffed peppers in the flour mixture, then give them a gentle tap to remove any excess. Then dip them in the egg batter and gently place them in the hot frying oil.
Fry the chile rellenos: Fry the peppers for minutes per side, until the batter is golden brown and crispy. Try not to overcrowd the peppers in the pan — I usually fry 2 at a time depending on the pan I'm using. Transfer the peppers to the lined baking sheet to drain off any excess oil. Serve: Immediately serve chile rellenos on a plate with some salsa, freshly chopped cilantro and some cotija cheese.
Don't forget to remove the toothpicks when you first cut into the peppers! You can try to remove them before serving onto plates, but I find it easier to remove them when you first cut into them. For the salsa roja Add tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapeno, cilantro and salt to a blender. Puree until smooth. Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add blended salsa and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally for 8 minutes. Remove from heat, taste and season with more salt if desired. The poblanos can be roasted and peeled up to 2 days in advance. The salsa roja can be made up to 3 days in advance. Both should be kept in the fridge until ready to use. Buy the largest poblano peppers you can find.
Use a different cheese. Traditionally, chile relleno is made with Oaxaca cheese, but you could also use mozzarella, cheddar, provolone or another good melting cheese. Add a different filling. To make this a more well-rounded one-chile meal, feel free to mix in some other ingredients to the filling. Some good options would be carnitas , shredded chicken or picadillo.
I typically fry 2 chile rellenos at a time even though the pan could fit 3. Author: Isabel Eats.
