Chef Roberto Garcia: In my family we had no such laws
governing the consumption or use of chiles, but
perhaps we should have. My grandmother's remedy for a
sty was to rub it with the tip of a fresh jalapeño
pepper. Ouch! My brothers and I learned quickly to
look down at our shoes while walking near our
grandmother. The following recipe for chile rellenos
is not hot, but it is very delicious and easy to
prepare. However, don't get caught eating them in
Cloud, California. You may be charged with "willful
negligence," for eating chiles during a worship
service. Just to be sure, you'd better check with your
local municipality for any "unruly chile laws" in your
community. If using fresh chiles, first blister them
in the oven or use your favorite method. Remove the
skins. Cut a small slit in the chile's base and scoop
out the seeds with a tablespoon and discard them
(canned chiles are already peeled and seeded). In a
medium-sized mixing bowl, mix the eggs, oregano,
garlic and water until well-blended. On a large plate
or piece of wax paper, thoroughly mix the bread crumbs
and Parmesan cheese. Place the flour on a smaller
plate or use a piece of wax paper. Butter or grease a
cookie sheet. Put a stick of cheese into each chile.
One at a time, dust each chile with flour, dip them
into the egg batter, and place the chile on top of the
bread crumbs. Pat the chiles with the bread crumbs,
making sure the entire chile has been covered. Preheat
the oven to 375 degrees. Place the chiles on the
greased cookie sheet. Drizzle the butter the chiles
and bake for 20 minutes. Serve with rice and beans.
¡PROVECHO!
