Chiles Rellenos

Written by Aunt Brenda

chiles rellenos

  • A great vegetarian dish. Use vegetable broth instead of chicken. Oh, and one more thing....you may want to double this recipe. These are so good, they'll go fast! I typically serve these with spanish rice and refried beans on the side.
  • Ingredients:
  • 8 canned green chilies
  • 8 oz Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 1 Tbsp. water
  • 3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • oil for frying
  • Sauce:
  • 1/2 onion, minced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
  • 1Tbsp. oil
  • 1 c. chicken broth
  • 1 can (16 oz.) tomatoes with liquid, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp. chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp. dried oregano leaves
  • Salt and black pepper

 

  • Drain, rinse and gently remove seeds and membranes from chiles.
  • Cut cheese into narrow strips. Place strips inside chiles. Coat ourside of stuffed chiles with the 1/4 c. flour. Set aside.
  • Make sauce by saute-ing onion and garlic in heated oil until golden. Add broth, tomatoes and liquid, chili powder, oregano, salt and black pepper. Simmer for 10 min.
  • Meanwhile, beat egg whites until they form soft peaks. Beat egg yolks until creamy with 1 Tbsp. water, the 3 Tbsp. flour and salt. Fold into whites.
  • Heat 1-inch oil in frying pan. Dip stuffed chiles into fluffy egg batter. Ease into hot oil. Fry 3-4 min. or until a deep golden brown on each side. Drain on paper toweling.
  • Serve with heated sauce.
  • Quick Tip: You can also use your favorite salsa, heated, for the sauce.
  • Makes 4 servings.

I am Brenda Shoop and I am Aunt Bytes' very own resident nurse. I hold a bachelors in nursing from The University of South Alabama. I worked in health care for 20 years before "abandoning the ship." I have experience in emergency, trauma, pediatrics, internal medicine, cardiology, and holistic care. I am striving to learn as much as I can about how to treat the body so it can heal itself, in the most natural ways possible.

I am connected to The Great Universal Energy Source in the most wonderful and magical way. I see miracles every single day because I have learned how to change my perspective on life in general. We are all connected to the Same Source, and as we become enlightened, we change the course of events around us to reflect our deeper commitment, whether that commitment is to Love, Peace, Mercy, Greed, Lust, or Selfishness.

What I'm trying to say is that whatever drama is going on around you in your life right now is just a symptom of something you still need to deal with. If you change your patterns, the patterns of those around you will change as well. Much in the same way that if the Earth were to shift position, it would affect all the satellites around it, as well as the moon.

So, don't be afraid to shift positions now and again. Just try a new one on for size and see how it fits. You can always change your mind later, you know.
