What's On Your Plate???

Once again, beef skirt steak (fajita meat) and mushrooms with butter and garlic stir fry. This one is good enough I keep cooking it every couple of weeks...

Wife crushed it tonight with Chile Rellenos for Mexican Independence Day...

Chile rellenos are a lot of work but delicious; congrats, looks good.

If you care to pass on an unsolicited tip, FWIW - as a first step to prep the poblano peppers, before you slice them open and clean them out... Lightly fry them all over, naked pepper no batter. That loosens the waxy paper-like outer coating, which you then remove before cleaning, battering, frying, stuffing, and baking them. It not only improves the pepper but will also help the egg batter stick better.

Though maybe she did that and I just can't tell from the pics. Either way, chile rellenos are one of my favorite dishes; kudos!

Easier to stick them under a grill until the skin blackens, then put them in a plastic bag. The skin comes off really easily after that. Same for bell peppers, that skin can be an unpleasant texture once cooked.

Actually I've tried both ways, and an oven, too, and frying works best. Or at least is the fastest. Learned that one in my restaurant days.
