Indian Stuffed Anaheim Chile Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• Make a lengthwise slit in the peppers and remove the seeds.
• In a bowl, mix together crushed peanuts, salt, turmeric powder, coriander powder, dry mango powder and red chili powder.
• Generously fill peppers with the peanut mixture.
• Lightly coat outside of peppers with a little oil (using pastry brush or hands).
• Place peppers in a microwave safe dish and microwave for 3 minutes. Check the peppers and turn if necessary. Microwave for additional 2 minutes (or more as necessary - peppers should wilt a little but still hold their shape).
• Heat little oil in a flat skillet. Place peppers on the skillet to brown them. Flip the peppers and brown other side also. Some peanuts may spill out - it's ok.
• Remove from skillet and serve hot or at room temperature.
• Tip: Buy similar size peppers so they cook evenly.

Steps:

• To roast chilies:.
• Place chile peppers on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet.
• Broil 5 inches from the heat (with electric oven door partially open) 5 minutes on each side or until chile peppers are blistered.
• Place chile peppers in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; seal.
• Let stand 10 minutes to loosen skins.
• Peel peppers, leaving stems attached.
• Make a slit in the side of each chile, remove seeds, and stuff with cheese sticks.
• Dredge chiles with flour. Beat egg whites until they become stiff and peaks form. Beat yolks with water, 3 tablespoons flour and salt until thick and creamy. Fold the yolks into the whites and dip the chiles in the mixture.
• Fry in 2-3 inches of oil until they become golden brown.(I usually use about an inch and turn them over).
• Serve with your favorite salsa, refried beans and yellow rice for a great south of the border meal!
