Chilito Relleno Tempura Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Stuff the Peppers

    Take the halved bell peppers and fill each with the cooked ground beef mixture. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Tempura Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the tempura batter mix with ice-cold water until smooth. The batter should be slightly thick.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F).

  5. 5

    Fry the Chilito Rellenos

    Dip each stuffed pepper into the tempura batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Carefully place in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Brioche

    Toast the brioche slices until golden brown and crispy.

  7. 7

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, arrange the mixed greens and place the tempura chilito rellenos on top. Drizzle with house dressing.
