This is my original recipe adapted from one that I have used for years to include the extra ingredients to qualify for entry in the spring 2003 ready set cook contest. A side of refritos would compliment, sangria for a beverage.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup cooked crabmeat
4 asparagus spears, blanched
1 fresh tomato, cut in thin sections
1/4 cup ricotta cheese
4 anaheim chilies
2 eggs
1/4 cup flour
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pinch baking powder
salt
cayenne
Directions:
1. Remove stems from chilies, make a long slit on one side and remove seeds and membrane, Tradition calls for these to be broiled and peeled but i never bother stuff chilies with equal portions of first four ingredients.
2. Mix eggs, flour, oil, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
3. Dip stuffed chilies in batter.
4. Fry til golden.
5. Dust with cayenne.
6. Add teeth.
7. Alternately you can omit the batter, make a very thin one egg omelet, roll the stuffed chilies in that and fry till chilies are al dente.
