Ingredients

For the chiles rellenos:

6 to 8 poblano chiles about 2 pounds
3 to 4 cups grated melty cheese such as Oaxaca Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or Muenster

For the rice:

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups Mahatma® Rice jasmine white rice
1/2 cup white onion finely chopped
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth homemade or store-bought
1½ teaspoons kosher salt or to taste

For the salsa roja:

2 pounds ripe tomatoes
2 garlic cloves
1 1-inch thick slice of a large white onion outer skin peeled off (about 2 ounces)
1 chile de árbol optional
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup chicken or vegetable broth homemade or store-bought

To Prepare

Make and assemble the chiles rellenos:

Place the chiles on a tray under the broiler, directly on the grill, or directly over the open flame. I prefer to broil them. Whatever method you choose, turn them every 2 to 3 minutes for a total of 6 to 9 minutes. They must seem charred and blistered on the outside, while the flesh must be cooked but not burnt. Place them immediately in a plastic bag, close it tightly, and let them sweat for 10 to 20 minutes. Lastly, under a thin stream of cold water, remove the charred skin, which should come right off. Make a slit down one side of the chile and remove the cluster of seeds and veins. Once cleaned, pat them dry.
Stuff each of the poblano chiles with about 1/2 cup grated cheese, or as much as will fit allowing them to close. You may seal with a toothpick.

Prepare the rice:

Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring softly for 2 to 3 minutes. Incorporate the onion and stir, from time to time, until the rice begins to change to a milky-white color and feels and feels heavier, as if it were grains of sand; about 3 to 4 more minutes. Pour in 4 cups of broth and salt.
When it comes to a rolling boil, place the chiles rellenos into the pot. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to the lowest setting, and cook until the rice is cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes. If the rice grains don’t seem soft and cooked through, add a bit more chicken broth or water and let it cook for another 5 more minutes or so. Once the rice is cooked, remove the pan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the salsa roja:

Place the tomatoes and garlic in a medium saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes until the tomatoes are completely smooth, cooked and mushy.
Place tomatoes and garlic in a blender along with the onion, chile de árbol if using, salt, and pepper, and puree until completely smooth.
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan, set over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, pour in the tomato sauce, cover with a lid partially and simmer for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring here and there. Add the chicken broth, stir and cook for another 6 to 8 minutes, until well seasoned and lightly thickened.

To serve:

Spoon some rice on a plate and place a chile relleno on top. Cover with salsa roja.

Cool rainy day here in DC. This dish was the perfect antidote, from charring poblanos on all 4 gas burners to listening to the salsa roja bubble and sputter. Used the Arbol Chile and had a mix of spicy farmers market poblanos and ones from grocery store. Yum. Brother visiting end of week. I may do these again for him.

  Never made Chile rellenos before but will make them again. The salsa Roja was great and really makes it cone together. Sweating the poblanos took a little bit of learning but not much. Loved it!

Instead of boiling the tomatoes, would it be fine to char them with the poblanos on my grill?

  Absolutely Jorge, by doing it you will in fact add an extra layer of delicious flavor to your sauce 🙂

Saw you make these on your TV program and knew I had to try them. So good! The only problem I had was that the Poblanos I got at the farmers market were really hot! Any tips on how to get rid of the burning feeling in my fingers from handling them? I never had hot Poblanos before so wasn’t expecting to have to be careful handling them.

1. Pati Jinich

  Next time wear gloves while handling poblanos just in case. Then make sure to perfectly remove all seeds and veins and you will be OK 🙂

Hola Pati! I am planning to serve these chiles rellenos for a Christmas dinner as a main course (stuffed with chicken) and wondered what sides would be good with it?

1. Pati Jinich
  
  Sep 26
  
  I think the rice is already the perfect side for your Chiles Rellenos Anna, but if you want to add something perfect, I would go for refried beans 🙂

I cannot wait to try this recipe!! I know from having made so many of your recipes that it will taste wonderful. Also, to me presentation is a big part of any meal. The beauty of the deep green poblanos over the bed of white rice, topped with the bright red salsa roja, the cotija cheese and crema would wow anyone. Thank you for yet another winner!

Pati, I’ve watched your show many times but never made one of your recipes. I love chile rellenos but would never deep fry anything at home. This dish is a great solution. It was phenomenal and I’m so impressed that I made it! The red sauce is essential! I paired it with black beans seasoned with Mexican oregano and orange and your Jamaica agua fresca. Perfect dinner, thanks!

I made this for 2 after seeing the episode this morning. It is a simple recipe and ridiculously delicious. The taste of green chile is front and center. The Salsa Roja with the drizzle of crema and crumbled cheese, as you did in the episode, enhances the taste and is a beautiful presentation. It won’t be long before I make it again.

So good. Because I’m short on cooktop, I broiled the tomatoes, onion, garlic and Serrano (no Arbol) with the poblanos. Mighty tasty. I’m saving the rest of the sauce and brown rice to eat with my black beans tomorrow. Thank you. I’m saving this and will make sure you get all the credit.

We really liked the show, so made this tonight and it was delicious! We overcooked the peppers a little, but it all worked out with a few extra toothpicks. I loved the flavor of the red sauce. Mine took a lot longer to thicken- I think some of the cooking water got into the blender. We will definitely be making this again. Thanks so much for a wonderful recipe!

Had some trouble with the Poblano pepper being too soft after removing from the plastic bag. They fell apart trying my to remove the seeds & veins. Maybe I cooked them too long? For the rice I used a 3.5qt. Le Crueset Brasier. It was too small. What capacity Brasier did you use in your video presentation? The finished dish was delicious!

1. Pati Jinich
  
  Dec 28
  
  Hey Frank, yes, maybe your poblanos were a bit over cooked when you prepped them, here is the way I do them in case it is useful: https://patijinich.com/preparing_poblano_peppers/
  And you are correct, I cooked these chiles with rice in my 5 qt braiser. Glad you liked the final result!

We used jarred salsa just because we had a jar we needed to finish off but the rice and the peppers were amazing. I’m excited now to make them for two other people we know who love chile relleno.

Do you really put the stuffed poblano chile in with the rice and liquid? Don’t they lose the cheese?

1. Pati Jinich

  They don’t Joyce, just use the rice as a bed, then place the Chiles on top and smother with the salsa. Enjoy them!
