Stuffed Anaheims and Spanish Rice

These were almost hard for me to make... I love rellenos and wanted to dunk these babies in batter and fry em, but I resisted.

For the filling I minced some green onion, grated a bit of asadero cheese and shredded a little smoked chuck.



I blistered, peeled and seeded the anaheims, then stuffed and wrapped them in bacon...



onto the smoker...




while the peppers smoked I cooked minced onion, garlic and bell pepper in oil...




added rice...




used azafran mainly for color...




added chicken stock, paprika, cayenne, tomatoes...then checked for salt and pepper. I let this simmer until the rice absorbed the broth and spices.







.










These were sooooo good! Some of the peppers were kinda spicy but I loved them.



Best thing......... I made so many of them, they lasted all weekend. :)
