We've been craving them. Searched online and found a couple but thought I'd ask if anyone has a recipe they like.

They take some time to prepare, but each time you do it, it gets easier. Roast your poblanos (this should do about 6+, depending on how big they are) either on a cookie sheet under the broiler or one by one on the flame of a gas stove. Turn them until they are blackened all over. Then put them into a plastic bag to steam for 10 minutes. One by one, peel off the charred skin, carefully open a slit in the side of the chili, and carefully remove the seeds. OIL YOUR HANDS BEFORE WORKING WITH THE CHILIS SO THEY DON'T BURN LATER!!! Filling: In a large cast iron skillet, saute 1 large onion & a few cloves of minced garlic in a little olive oil. Then add 2 large chopped tomatoes, sea salt, 1 teaspoon whole comino/cumin seeds, 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, and a good squirt of tomato paste, about a tablespoon, and saute a bit. Add about 3 chopped (1/2" dice) gold potatoes. Add water to just cover the ingredients. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20-30 min. When the potatoes are almost tender, add about 1/4 cup of golden raisins. When the potatoes are done, take off the lid and let the moisture steam out so that the mixture is just glazed, not wet. Stuff the filling into the chilis. I don't batter and fry them (for obvious reasons) and they are still really good that way. Lots of restaurants around here do it that way now, too. You can make them earlier in the day, then reheat in the oven. Good luck!

After I posted this, I opened up MORE magazine and found a recipe in there for Chile Rellenos in an article about Meatless Mondays. Of course, the recipe is vegetarian and has no coating. Looks good, though.

It was a sweet picadillo. Not sure if that's common in California, but basically it's the ingredients listed, plus ground beef/pork and nuts. We never liked the nuts so I took them out, then of course I took out the meat and upped the potatoes. The little bit of sweet from the raisins is a nice balance to the heat of the chilis. Typing that recipe yesterday made me crave them so much that I had to buy the ingredients for them at the store today!

Posted Saturday, September 24, 2011 at 9:44 PM We use Rice Cheese from Galaxy Foods (Whole Foods Carry's it) the Mozz cheese melts truly delightfully. We also use Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Flour to coat the rellenos, water holds the flour on. Top it with some Tomatillo Sauce and it's delightful!! One of our favorite meals!
