Ingredients

  • 4 large Poblano peppers
  • 1 pound Ground beef (80/20)
  • 2 medium Roma tomato, diced
  • 0.5 cup White onion, finely chopped
  • 0.25 cup Raisins
  • 2 tablespoons Slivered almonds
  • 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 4 pieces Large eggs, separated
  • 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 to taste Salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Roast the poblano peppers over an open flame or under a broiler until the skin is charred and blistered all over.

  2. 2

    Place charred peppers in a plastic bag for 10 minutes to steam, then peel off the skin, make a small slit, and carefully remove seeds.

  3. 3

    In a large skillet, brown the ground beef with onions and garlic until cooked through, draining any excess fat.

  4. 4

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, raisins, almonds, cinnamon, salt, and pepper; simmer for 10 minutes until the liquid evaporates.

  5. 5

    Stuff each prepared poblano pepper with the picadillo mixture and secure the opening with a toothpick.

  6. 6

    Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold in the beaten egg yolks and a pinch of salt to create a fluffy batter.

  7. 7

    Dredge each stuffed pepper in flour, dip into the egg batter, and fry in hot oil until golden brown on all sides.

  8. 8

    Drain on paper towels and serve immediately with warm tomato sauce or rice.
