فلفل هالابينو حار محشي
Mexican 20 Mins Prep · 35 Mins Cook
- To make the Mexican spice, combine all the ingredients in a bow. Set aside.
- To make the chilli rellenos, begin by roasting the peppers over an open flame, or alternatively place the peppers on a tray in an oven set to grill and cook the peppers until their skins are blackened all over, approx. 5-10 minutes. Transfer the peppers to a zip-top bag and seal. Set aside until cool.
- To make the salsa roja, quarter the tomatoes, peel and halve the red onion and peel the garlic. Then, place the tomatoes, onion, garlic cloves, jalapeño, coriander and ½ teaspoon of salt in a blender and blitz until smooth.
- Heat the oil in a medium pot over a medium-high heat and add in the salsa. Bring to a boil and lower the heat to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally for 6-8 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Once completely cool, make a cut down the centre of the jalapeños and remove any extra seeds.
- Coarsely grate the Gouda and stuff each pepper with the grated cheese. Be careful to not overstuff, make sure you can still seal the peppers.
- Preheat a large pot of oil to 180°C, if you do not have a thermometer, test the oil with a tiny drop of flour. It will immediately sizzle up.
- In a large bowl, crack in the egg white and reserve the yolk. Using a hand beater, whisk or stand mixer, beat the white to stiff peaks then fold in the yolk.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, Mexican spice and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Coat the stuffed peppers with flour and dip in the egg batter to coat completely. Fry each pepper for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden. Drain on paper towels.
- Zest the lime and crumble the feta. Scatter both over the chilli rellenos and serve immediately alongside the salsa roja.
