Here’s a pretty easy and straightforward recipe for you! You are going to need to whip out your blender for the sauce! There’s a little bit of prep involved with about an hour of cooking–but that’s it. This means you can clean up your kitchen and watch your kid run around outside in the backyard while you wait. Or you can get in an episode of one of those trashy shows you’ve been telling me about! The smell that will waft from your kitchen is worth the effort you put in. You might even find yourself watching commercials instead of fast forwarding…because the scent is so intoxicating. Believe me.
The peppers will get fork tender after all that roasting and the cornmeal/ black bean/ cheese mixture turns part solid and part gooey inside the peppers. It’s as if a tamale mated with a chile relleno and produced a lighter & healthier offspring! (YES- I really just said the word mate!) You are going to want to spoon a bunch of the leftover sauce on your pepper. You’ll probably sit there imagining what else to put that sauce on…if you have any left. It’s quite enjoyable. Go ahead, top it with some hot sauce. You like it spicy, don’t you? You’ll find that the peppers taste even better the next day. Funny what a little overnight stay in the fridge will do to a pepper. Enjoyable, huh?
