Recipesfull introduces to you: Potato Side Dish Recipes. (Grilled Chile Rellenos). A loose interpretation of the wonderful Mexican dish, vegetarian and non-greasy but very savory. Totally lacking in heat for families, but drop a chipotle or two into the sauce if you're cooking for masochists.

Grilled Chile Rellenos

Ingredients

4 poblano peppers

3 medium potatoes

chopped

1 large sweet onion

chopped

1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

¼ cup peanut butter

1 clove garlic

minced

½ teaspoon ground cumin

1 pinch dried oregano

½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

Side Dish

Directions

Step 1

Place the peppers on a plate and cook in the microwave for about 5 minutes until just pliable. Do not peel. Set aside to cool.

Step 2

Place the potatoes and onion into a large glass or ceramic dish and add a few tablespoons of water. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and cook in the microwave until the potatoes are beginning to soften and the onions are transparent 8 to 10 minutes. Uncover and stir. Set aside to cool slightly while you start the sauce.

Step 3

In a blender or food processor combine the tomatoes and peanut butter. Process until smooth then pour into a saucepan. Stir in the garlic cumin and oregano. Warm over low heat and cover with a lid to avoid spattering. Cook for about 15 minutes to blend the flavors together.

Step 4

Preheat a grill for medium-high heat. Mix the cheese into the potatoes and onions. Slit the peppers down one side and fill with the potato mixture. I like to leave the seeds in because the peppers have more flavor that way but you can take them out if you like. Brush the peppers with olive oil.

Step 5

Grill peppers for 6 to 8 minutes or until the outsides are slightly charred. Cut in half to serve and spoon the sauce over them.
