I know better that to make a recipe that involves deep frying things. Too much effort. But the CSA box came with both the pablanos and the recipe, and it certainly did seem like an appropriate dish to place squarely between some beans and rice. Turned out better than I had expected.
Looks yum. Alton Brown said last night that you should pan fry in a cast iron skillet 1/3 filled with Crisco heated to 350. He cautioned against letting it get any hotter than that because Crisco starts breaking down at 370. Of course, Crisco is 100% transfat, but I don't think you're going to be winning any health points for deep frying anyway. or maybe just use lard?
ReplyDeleteDespite swearing off deep frying myself for the aforementioned too much effort reason, I'm sort of tempted to try again.
