Breakfast Stuffed Poblano Peppers Recipes

STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the tomato halves flesh-side up in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons of the olive oil, the confectioners' sugar, red pepper flakes and 2 teaspoons salt. Spread the mixture evenly over the tomato halves. Roast the tomatoes until tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Heat a large skillet over high heat and add half of the canola oil. When it begins to smoke lightly, add half of the poblanos and cook to tenderize without making them mushy. Using a slotted spoon, remove the peppers to a baking sheet, cavity-side up. Repeat with the remaining poblanos and canola oil. Season with salt and set aside.
• In a large skillet, heat the 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and the thyme. As the oil heats, the thyme will fry and become crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the thyme sprigs, then season with salt and cool. Add the bell peppers to the same skillet and season with salt. Cook over high heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the peppers brown slightly but are still slightly firm, 3 to 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the peppers and transfer to a medium bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet, heat until it begins to smoke lightly, and add the garlic and onions. Reduce the heat to medium. Season with salt and cook until the onions are lightly brown and tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the onions to the bell peppers.
• Quarter the oven-dried tomatoes and add to the pepper and onion mix. Chop the basil leaves and stir into the filling along with the red wine vinegar and mozzarella. Pull the thyme leaves off the stems and add to the mixture. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan and melted butter. Stuff each pepper halfway with the filling, and then top with the breadcrumb mixture.
• Heat the peppers in the oven to brown the tops, 10 to 12 minutes. Arrange on a platter and drizzle with the balsamic vinegar to serve.

STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS

Steps:

• Set the rice to cook. (Usually one cup of rice requires 2 cups of water, but the amount of water varies by type of rice--check your package. Add rice to boiling water, bring to a boil again while stirring, and then cover and simmer on low, stirring occasionally until water is absorbed.).
• Wash the peppers. Sear under a broiler. If your broiler is a separate unit under your stove (like mine is), and you can't control the distance away from it, then you'll want to cut your peppers in half lengthwise first, and broil them rounded side up. If you can give them 4 or 5 inches from the broiler, then you can broil them whole, turning them every few minutes, and cut them afterwards. Either way, broil the peppers until the skin is blistered and blackened (10-20 minutes).
• While the peppers are cooking, mince the garlic and fry in the olive oil on low-medium heat in a medium-sized pan, for 5 minutes. During this you can chop the onion and cilantro.
• Turn the heat to medium, and add the soy-rizo, and cook for 3-5 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the cooking wine, getting all of the soy-rizo off of the bottom.
• Drain most of the liquid from the canned tomatoes, and add them, cooking for 2-3 minutes. While the tomatoes are cooking add the spices. Green peppercorns are optional because not everyone has them, and serranos are optional because not everyone will want the extra spice. If you don't use green peppercorn, I'd recommend black pepper (crushed) to give it some of that flavor.
• About this time, both the rice and the peppers should be finishing. Add the rice to the other sauce ingredients to taste (I ended up using about half. If you like your food more calm, you can add more, or you can use less to get more of a kick). Add the onion (raw).
• Place the peppers cut-side-up on a dish, and spoon in the filling. We ate 4 of the halves before I got to take a picture--they were that good! But they look very presentable if you arrange them around the rim of a round plate, narrow ends facing the center.
