Do you remember when I made arepas with pardon peppers? Those li’l roasted chiles on the side of the dish really stole the show. If you haven’t tried pardon peppers I highly recommend you get your hands on some. They are traditionally served in Spain, and are becoming popular in California. They have a thin skin, which makes them perfect for roasting. They are mild to medium-hot but have a mellow sweet hint.
These babies melt in your mouth and accompany any meal. The idea of this recipe is to give the pardon peppers a heightened taste of smokiness by steaming them in a bath of butter and soy sauce. If you like adding spice to your meals, try making these to give your meal that little extra bite. And if you can’t find pardon peppers, substitute with jalapeños.
Do you want to try some Pardon Chiles? You can order them over at Melissa’s Produce, roast and freeze them. Anytime you want a bit of heat to your meal defrost a few and make chiles toreados. You will love them.

Hello. A couple of years ago, I was searching the Internet for a recipe for chilles rellenos. I found an egg batted recipe, that made the fluffiness chilles rellenos. The unfortunate thing is that I did not print the recipe, nor did I save the website. I have been searching the Internet again, and your website looks vaguely familiar, but I could not find an egg battered recipe for chilles rellenos on your current site. Did you have an egg battered recipe posted within the last 2-3 years that you have removed? If you do have this recipe could you please share it with me.
Your kindness is truly appreciated. Sincerely, Norma
Hi Norma,

Keep me posted on your chiles rellenos adventures.
These are so delicious, very smoky and distinct flavor. I wish they sold them here in Texas,
There are so many great peppers from around the world! Wouldn’t it be fun to try them all?
I was listening to a cooking show on NPR recently and heard the suggestion of combining soy sauce with butter and it was something that I hadn’t considered before. Looks like it is a successful way to cook and I am excited to try out these flavors, thanks!
