Answers:
CHILIES RELLENOS
6 Anaheim or any mild long green chili
2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 lb mozzarella cheese, grated
1/4 lb Monterey Jack cheese, grated
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tb chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg
2 T milk
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup mild or hot tomato salsa
Make a slit with the tip of a paring knife in the pepper at the cap.
Place the oil in a deep saucepan and heat to a temperature of 375F.
Have a bowl of ice water handy.
Fry the peppers a few at a time for about 1 minute, or until the skin is blistered all over. Remove with tongs, and plunge into the ice water.
Repeat until all peppers are fried.
When cool enough to handle, gently rub off the skin.
Cut a slit in one side of the pepper, and remove the seeds, keeping the pepper whole. Set aside, reserving the oil.
In a bowl, mix together the mozzarella, Monterey Jack, garlic, thyme, oregano, cilantro, salt and pepper.
Gently stuff the mixture into the peppers, securing them with toothpicks.
Chill for 30 minutes.
Beat the egg with the milk.
Roll the peppers in the mixture, and then roll in cornmeal.
Heat the reserved oil to 375F.
Fry the peppers for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
As you fry, be careful not to crowd the pan. Remove the peppers from the pan with tongs, drain on paper towels, and repeat until all peppers are fried.
Serve immediately, accompanied by salsa, if desired.
Serves 6.
Note: The peppers can be prepared up to the point of being dredged in cornmeal and fried up to two days in advance and refrigerated, tightly covered with plastic wrap.
Dredge with cornmeal and fry just prior to serving.

Chiles Rellenos - Tucson's El Charro
8 fresh green chilies (stems intact, roasted and peeled)
1 lb cheddar cheese or monterey jack cheese, shredded
3 eggs
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup oil
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or provolone cheese or monterey jack cheese (or all mixed)
Stuff each chile with cheese, and set aside.
Separate eggs and beat the whites until stiff. Beat yolks and fold into whites, along with flour, salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet. Dip stuffed chiles, one at a time, into egg batter, then remove with a large spoon. Carefully lower coated chiles into hot oil, 3 or 4 at a time. Fry until golden brown on both sides. The chiles may be made ahead to this point.
To serve immediately, arrange on platter or individual plates and pour warm Taco Sauce over each chile. Garnish with more cheese and run under broiler to melt cheese, if desired.
May be made in advance up to the point of topping with cheese, and reheated in a 400-degree oven about 10 minutes.
