Chorizo And Rice Stuffed Poblano Peppers Recipes

CHORIZO AND BROWN RICE STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler to high. Place peppers on a large rimmed baking sheet and place under the broiler (approximately 6 inches from the element). Roast the peppers until blackened and blistered, turning once after approximately 7-8 minutes. Roast another 4-5 minutes. (If not totally charred, don't worry as you want some texture left.)
• Immediately cover with another rimmed baking sheet, aluminum foil or place in a covered container and let cool.
• Peel as much of the skin away as you can. Carefully cut each pepper on one side from tip to stem and remove the seeds. Set aside until needed.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Heat oil in a large skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, reduce heat to medium and cook the onion until beginning to soften, approximately 5 to 6 minutes.
• Add the chorizo, breaking it up into small pieces and brown it until no longer raw. Add half the garlic and cook another 1-2 minutes. Transfer chorizo mixture to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve fat in the pan and reduce heat to medium-low.
• Combine remaining garlic, chili powder, cumin, coriander and oregano in the pan. Stir over medium-low heat for approximately 30 seconds or until garlic is fragrant.
• Add tomato sauce, water you rinsed the can out with and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook 3-4 minutes just to combine the flavors. Taste the sauce and add additional brown sugar if too acidic. Remove from heat.
• Chop one of the Poblanos if they're large or two if they're smaller (whichever one/ones is/are the least pretty).
• Combine the chopped Poblano, chorizo mixture, rice, 1/2 cup of the sauce, half of the cheese and the egg in a large bowl. Mix well.
• Prepare a 13 x 9-inch baking dish by brushing it with oil or spraying with cooking spray.
• Spread 3/4 cup of the sauce in the prepared baking dish.
• Fill each pepper with equal amounts of the filling and place in the baking dish.
• Pour the remaining sauce over the peppers and top with remaining cheese. Cover loosely with aluminum foil.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking another 10-12 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted and beginning to brown.
