My Mom'S Chiles Rellenos


1. Roast chiles on an open flame on the stove top. When skin becomes charred, put them in a plastic bag for about 15 minutes. Take them out and peel them. Cut a slit open and deseed them. Cut the cheese in strips, and stuff the chiles with them. Close slit with a toothpick. Beat the egg whites until stiff and stir in yolks. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan. Coat the chiles with flour and then dip them in the egg batter. Fry in hot oil until batter is golden. Place chiles in a serving dish.

2. Sauce:

3. Boil tomatoes in 1/2 water. Blend tomatoes, water and the clove of garlic in a food processor to make a sauce. Strain sauce.

4. In a saucepan, heat olive oil and fry onions until soft.

5. Add oregano and tomato sauce. Add sugar.

6. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.

7. Pour sauce over chiles and serve.
