How are things going over in rec.scuba? I look at the newsgroup
sometimes, but it is always a fight between Scott and Greg.

ObFood:

Chiles Rellenos

12 poblano chiles
1/2 lb chihuahua cheese, asadero or monterey jack
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 eggs, whites and yolks separated
flour, as much as needed
5 medium tomatoes
1 onion, cut in thin slices
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon sugar
salt and pepper to taste

Roast the chiles on an open flame, when skin becomes charred, put them
in a plastic bag for about 10 minutes. Peel chiles, cut a slit in one
side and deseed them. Cut the cheese into strips, and stuff the chiles
with cheese. Close slit with a toothpick. Beat the egg whites until
stiff and stir in the yolks. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan. Coat the
chiles with flour and then dip them in the egg batter. Fry in hot oil
until batter is golden. Place chiles in a serving dish.

Sauce:

Boil tomatoes in 1/2 cup water. Blend tomatoes, water and the clove of
garlic in a food processor to make a sauce. Strain sauce.

In a saucepan, heat olive oil and fry onions until soft. Add oregano,
tomato sauce and sugar. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5
minutes. Pour sauce over chiles and serve.
