Editor's Note: Substitute organic ingredients especially cheese-- raw organic is best as are organic, pastured eggs etc.

'Poblanos are a thin walled fruit with medium heat and smooth dark green skins. Named for the city of Puebla, they are the chillies that are traditionally used for Chilli Relleno (literally stuffed chilli), and historically  stuffed with minced meat and coated with eggs.


Here in the States, and the way I’ve most often seen them, they are prepared with cheese – usually Montery Jack and coated in a light batter then either pan or deep fried. Pan frying is a more traditional approach but some restaurants do deep fry them in the interest of  speed and efficiency.
A somewhat time consuming process, the chillies are first roasted, peeled, de-seeded, then stuffed with shredded cheese (or whatever) before being dipped in a light egg batter and then fried as described above.'
