Cheeseless Chile Relleno Created by Perry

Perry has been wanting to stuff some poblano peppers and tonight she had a chance. Chile relleno (meaning merely filled chile pepper) is a staple Mexican dish that does not need to be deep fried, or even fried at all. It traditionally was a baked poblano pepper. The farmer's market had good fresh crisp poblanos which stayed fresh in my refrigerator for a few days. She loaded them with a mixture of corn, black beans and red pepper and we baked them for about half an hour. I was pleased that she did the stuffing yet somehow I was left with the cleaning...we topped them off with Chalula (bottled hot sauce) and ate the peppers and the extra filling with some "Chalula stir fry" comprised of yellow squash, zucchini, portabello mushrooms, shitake mushrooms, onions, sweet red pepper and celery with cumin, oregano, black pepper and sea salt and a dash of Chalula (well, we adults had more than a dash...) The kids ended up a little spiced out by the end and there were some cries for water but they consumed an awful lot before those desperate requests, so I think it really was relatively mild...
