I bought some longish pale-green non-spicy peppers at the supermarket. I think they were called "sweet peppers". I decided to make my own version of chile rellenos, but I took a left-turn somewhere, perhaps starting with the fact that the shape was right but the peppers weren't.
Then, I meant to slice them slightly and stuff them whole. That didn't work out at all. And then the stuffing wasn't right either -- sauteed onions, mushrooms, walnuts all tossed with mozzarella and cheddar cheese, with romano sprinkled on top (but not much cheese of any kind).
I ended up slicing the peppers in half and seeding them, and laying them open faced in a pan.
Over that, I poured my special sauce -- New Mexican chili powder in a thickened sauce. And I baked the whole thing for about half an hour.
But my, they were good. And Mr. P liked them too.
On the side, we had brown rice and broccoli sauteed with garlic and olive oil. Yum.
Also got a head start on tonight's dinner, which will be recognizably from another cuisine, but likely not authentic.
