Pesto Stuffed Red Chiles

[SamuelWilson]

Here are my Pesto Stuffed Red Chiles, no dehydrator used. These are very tasty.

Scrumpcious! do you remove the entire inner part of the chiles so you just a shell? your own recipe ifsocan you offer it?
:)

[SamuelWilson]

misslinda, thanks for your reply. Here is the recipe...

Pesto Stuffed Red Chiles

1 recipe Gus's Pesto (Page 309 of LIVING ON LIVE FOOD (http://www.alissacohen.com/books.html))
Fresh Red Chiles (at least a dozen)

Cut a triangular section out of each red chile to create little boats. Be sure and remove all the seeds and the membrane. Then fill with Gus's Pesto. The pesto requires pine nuts and basil obviously. For the exact recipe, refer to Alissa's Living on Live Food.

oh Samuel they're gorgeous!! They look divine!! Yum!

What kind of chiles are those - they look a little like a properly ripe red jalapeno, but the shape looks a little different. I love red chiles!

[SamuelWilson]

Those red chiles you see in my pictures are red fresno chiles. They are hot, but not too hot. You can eat them with out any problem, just be sure and seed them and remove the membrane.

A little interesting fact, the red fresno chile is the famous chile you see pictured in the logo of Chili's Restaurant.

SamuelWilson,

I knew when I saw the title of this posting that it was you...because of the spicy chiles....

k

:p :p

[exurb]

ooh, never tried a red fresno. They look "cuter" in shape than a red jalapeno.

[RowanC]

This is a beautiful dish! Thanks!

[RowanC]

Hey Samuel, wouldn't these be good with a Cilantro pesto?

[Raw Jewelrylady]

Samuel, looks good & sounds divine !!! Thanks for sharing... :p
Lana

Ps. You actually" de-seeded" a "HOT" pepper....I'm shocked !!! LOL
PSS. Enjoyed the "trivia about "Chile's

[Nini]

SW, you sure do get me to try things "out of the box"! These peppers look awesome!

[SamuelWilson]

karenisraw, I like any recipe with hot red chiles, they are the icon food of my life. Also, per the instructions from my Manly Manual, Volume 7, Chapter 156, pages 8,916 through 8,925, it informs to constantly remind everyone of the hot foods I can eat. This is important, because this lets everyone know I am a real man.

exurb, the red fresnos are the photogenic red chiles. They are just very appealing to look at.

RowanC, thanks for the compliments. As far as making cilantro pesto, ehh, I don't know about that. Pesto isn't pesto with out basil. Just my opinion, but I would be hesitant to try it.

lanasq (Lana), I didn't have a choice, I had to take the seeds and membrane out to have a place to put the pesto.

Nini, I am glad that my creations inspire you to try different things.

To everyone, I am grateful for all the positive feedback. I am glad that I can be an encouragement in this raw food journey.

Samuel, did you save the seeds & membrane & "Vitamix up...LOL

Also, What Rowan said regarding Cilantro, I found a recipe & was going to use Basil instead of cilantro- (very ingrained in me that pesto is basil) but I liked it w/ the cilantrio. Here's the link...

This is Carrot & Parsnip Fettuccine. I got the recipe from the following link:

http://greenchefs.greenzones.org/va...nip-Fettuccine/

This is another great Raw food site. Alissa is on it!!!

I adjusted the recipe a little- I marinated mushrooms as directed-added some thinly sliced onion- 1/2 small

For the pesto, I added a lot of cilantro-probably a cup (I just kept tasting until I thought it was right) & I added a Red Chile Pepper (Red Fresno). We like spicy foods.

This was sooooooo good. We even thought it would be better after it sat-& a great dish for potlucks, non-raw dinners, & even traveling or lunches. Enjoy...
Lana

PS. Also enclosed is a photo of the mango/cuke gazpach that I served w/the Fettuccine for lunch.

Aisah, I haven't been able to wear hemp clothes or jewelry, so I am afraid to ingest just yet. I really want to though. If anyones knows the difference between wearing & ingesting "hemp seeds", please advise, as I may try Alissa's brand.

I love the style of hemp clothing & jewelry & actually sell it in my boutique, but I break out in a rash. :(

Lana

Ps. Aisah...the "magical" thing is still happening...though.... :p

Sorry Lana I do not know if there would be any difference in wearing & consuming hemp products. I am sorry that you broke out in a rash by wearing them. Maybe you ought to start a thread on this query.

Raw journey will always be MAGICAL!! ;)

[SamuelWilson]

I just made a fresh batch of Pesto Stuffed Red Chiles.

[SamuelWilson]

Oh, I didn't mention that I decided to put these in the dehydrator. You probably figured that out already, since they are on a dehydrator tray. Well, I just sneaked a few (about a dozen actually) and they are very good. Nothing beats fresh red chiles. After the the sit in the dehydrator for a while, the oil from they pesto is drawn into the peppers and they soften up a bit. They taste just like baked stuffed peppers to me. They are better though because these are packed with enzymes :)

I am quite full now :(

[aisah]

thank you for sharing these newest batch of stuffed chilies SamuelWilson. They do look good. Now with this dehydrator I see you can form a line in drying your stuffs, very much military-inclined :p

[SamuelWilson]

Yes, I like to keep it very militarized in my kitchen. It is important to keep the military mind set as we wage war each and everyday for the sake of animal liberation.

[danened]

These look great. I have all the fixings to make the pesto... now need to find the chiles and I am set!!!

YYYUUUMMMMM!!! :)
