Stuffed Peppers'

Ingredients

-5-6 poblano peppers
-1/2 -2/3 cup of a white or yellow onion (depending on how much onion you like)
- 1/2 cups of shredded cheese (preferably Mexican)
-2-3 eggs
-1 cup of flour (you may need more)

Directions
* You will need a gas burner or a grill (b/c of the flames)
*take the stem off the peppers by pushing it in, take the stem and as many of the seeds out. You can rinse the inside if you would like.
*Put the peppers straight onto the burner (grill)
*Let the skin burn pretty well, so that it will be soft (below pic.2)


* Once they look like this put them in a plastic bag and cover it for about 10-15 minutes.


*Take them out and take the skin off (it should be soft enough)


*combine the cheese and the onions
*stuff the peppers with the cheese and onion mixture
Hint: you can stuff them half way or all the way, depending on that you might need more of the cheese mixture. I usually stuff them half way.
*once stuffed with the cheese and onion mixture roll them into the flour so the flour sticks on them
* set the stuffed peppers aside
*Have a pan ready with oil, you will need quite a bit about half a cup
*heat needs to be on medium
*put the egg whites into a bowl and set the yolk aside
*with an electric mixer on high mix the egg whites until they become foamy
*add the yolk and mix again on high until blended in and foamy
*one by one put the poblano peppers into the egg mixture (make sure they are covered pretty well)
*put them on the skillet with oil and fry on all sides
*once cooked through you can put the peppers on a strainer to let the oil drip out (make sure you have a large bowl or plate under neat it for the oil.

ENJOY WITH A SIDE OF RICE AND BEANS

Experiment: This is something I saw while searching for other stuffed pepper recipes. Heat tomato sauce in a pot and add the peppers, let simmer for a couple minutes and enjoy.
