Directions
1.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Set the poblanos over an open gas flame on your stovetop for 30 to 45 seconds per side, rotating with metal
tongs until they are blistered all over (or place poblanos on a roasting tray under the broiler for 4 to 5 minutes and turn occasionally until blistered on all sides). Once blistered, place hot poblanos in a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap to let the poblanos steam, about 2 minutes. Use a kitchen towel to "rub" off the blistered skin, then use a sharp paring knife to make a slit the length of each poblano. Remove the ribs and seeds carefully so you don't tear the poblanos. Sprinkle poblanos lightly with salt. Stuff the inside of each poblano with queso fresco. Secure the openings with toothpicks.
2.
Set a large skillet over medium-high heat and cover the bottom of the pan with 1/4 inch oil. Meanwhile, whisk egg whites in a large bowl
until stiff peaks form. Place the flour in a medium bowl. Dredge the stuffed poblanos in flour, coat in egg whites, and fry in the hot oil for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden on both sides. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, until heated through.
3.
Using a mandoline or sharp knife, shave onion and radishes into rings. Garnish poblanos with onion, radishes, queso fresco, and cilantro.
Serve with Roasted Tomatillo Salsa.
Roasted Tomatillo Salsa
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. On a roasting tray, arrange tomatillos, jalapeno, onion, and garlic. Drizzle with a 3-count of oil (about 3 tablespoons) and season with salt. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes, until tomatillos are tender and slightly blistered.
Put the cooked vegetables in a blender with the cilantro and lime juice. Pour in oil and process until you have a smooth puree (be careful when
you process the hot vegetables in the blender; hold down the lid with a kitchen towel over the top). Taste and, if desired, adjust seasoning
with extra lime juice or salt according to preference. Serve with Chiles Rellenos.
