These were some plump italian peppers that I had roasted, peeled and stuffed with a mixture of ricotta, mozzarella, cheddar and crispy cooked bacon. I flour, egg, flour breaded them and fried them fast to keep a light golden color. These pictured are actually cold from the fridge waiting to be heated up for my lunch.
The chile sauce is the kicker in this case. I browned up some ground lamb, added 5 cloves of crushed garlic and several roasted, peeled and chopped New Mexico green chiles some chicken broth and let it simmer.
Well simmered chile poured over the rellenos with a handful of grape tomatoes makes this one handy lunch.

That looks really good! :) I'm on a huge tomato kick lately...I've used them in everything!!!
i'm not sure how i feel about these . let me digest and i'll get back to you.
you make chiles rellenos, too?! oh my oh my.
tomatoes look great on that!
I don't know why, for the life of me, I can't talk myself into liking ricotta.
oh YUM. We are "antsy pants"
Oh yes! I was hoping you would give some more details about that! It looks like a very tasty lunch!
I really love rellenos, but unlike Pinknest, fried food is not my friend. I make baked rellenos instead. YUM!
Your rellenos look amazing!
Oh, you make me hungry! That looks so yummy.
dragon: Me too...to a point...
TK: digest what...you like spam
pinknest: Hullo its a natural...its like pasta to me...LOL
tavolini: I know how you feel, when its cooked in the right thing it isnt so - ricotta -y...if you know what I mean....try it as a secret ingredient in lasagna until you get used to it.
deb: yup its like a condition
anette: lunch of the gods....
michelle: baked, fried, waved in front of the sun it makes no difference to me.
spin: hungry is only half of it...
I have been wanting to try chile rellenos for a while and these ones look really good!
Rellenos are a treat I haven't had in awhile- looks good!
I've got to go searching for chile's this weekend! Not sure about the lamb. I'll try mine with beef.
This look SO GOOD! You really do make me want to cook again, and I'm doing it more often. I cook when I have people over and do what is easy for myself.
