Poblano Chilies With Black Beans And Cheese Recipes

CRISPY POBLANO CHILES STUFFED WITH BLACK BEAN, PORK, CHEESE YELLOW RICE, AND "BANDERA (MEXICAN FLAG)" SAUCE

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.

CHILI WITH BLACK BEANS AND POBLANO PEPPERS

Steps:

• Wash and dry all produce. Trim, then thinly slice scallions, keeping greens and whites separate. Mince garlic. Core and seed poblano, then cut into ½-inch squares. Drain and rinse beans.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey, breaking it up into pieces. Cook, tossing occasionally, until browned at the edges and no longer pink, 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Remove pan from heat and carefully pour out and discard any excess grease left by turkey. Return to medium-high heat and add scallion whites, poblano, and garlic. Cook, tossing, until lightly browned and softened, 5-6 minutes.
• Add chili powder to pan and toss to coat veggies. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add stock concentrate, beans, tomatoes, beef, and 1 cup water to pan and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and let simmer until thick and stew-like, about 10 minutes. Let it simmer longer for a stronger flavor. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide chili between bowls. Sprinkle with cheddar and scallion greens. Dollop with sour cream and serve.
