Digging through the Dirty Dave Archives I find only one that says
Rocoto on it. Of course you can make up any Chilies Relleno recipe and
use Rocoto chilies in lieu of Anaheims or Pasillas.
Here is the recipe that I have (and it looks like it would go well
using minced pork, as well ... )
MMMMM----- Meal Master Recipe
Title: Rocoto Rellenos
Categories: Chilies, Beef, Cheese, Latino
Yield: 4 Servings
6 lg Fresh rocoto chilies
1/2 lb Ground beef
1/2 c Chopped onion
2 ts Roasted and ground peanuts
2 ts Raisins
1/2 c Chopped, cooked carrots
1 Hard-cooked egg; chopped
1/2 c Cooked peas
3 sm Potatoes; boiled and diced
1/4 c Milk
3 lg Eggs
1 c Mozzarella or Muenster
-cheese; grated
Salt & ground black pepper
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees.
Cut the top off each chile, remove the seeds and the
membranes and save the tops.
Brown the ground beef and onion in a skillet, breaking up
any large clumps of beef. Add the peanuts, raisins,
carrots, hard-cooked egg and peas and cook for 5 min.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Fill each rocoto
with the meat mixture and cover with the rocoto tops.
Place the potatoes in a lightly greased pan and arrange
the filled rocotos on top. Beat the milk and eggs in a
separate bowl and pour over the rocotos. Sprinkle the
cheese around the rocotos and bake for 10 minutes.
Serves: 4-6
Heat Scale: Medium
