Chiles Salteados Estilo Los Arcos Recipes

ROASTED CHILE SALSA

Steps:

• Roast the poblano chiles one-by-one over the flame of your stovetop, using metal tongs to hold them, until the skin is totally charred. (If you don't have a gas stove, you can use an outdoor grill OR place them on a baking sheet directly under your oven's broiler.) When the skin is totally blackened, place the chiles in a large resealable plastic bag and seal the bag to allow the chiles to sweat for a good 20 minutes. Remove the chiles and use a knife to scrape off most of the blackened skin. Slice the chiles in half lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds and membranes.
• Divide the ingredients into 3 batches so they will fit into a 12-cup processor
• Combine whole tomatoes, roast chiles, cilantro, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, salt, sugar and lime juice in a blender or food processor.
• Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like. I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
• Refrigerate the salsa for at least an hour before serving.

CHILES TOREADOS

Steps:

• Mix the lime juice, soy sauce and oyster sauce in a bowl; set aside. Pour the vegetable oil into a skillet to come halfway up the sides. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350 degrees F. Working in batches, fry the chiles until golden, about 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Add the warm chiles to the lime juice mixture and toss. Chill at least 3 hours.
