We do that quite a lot, but use our own peppers, which Marie roasts, and
then removes the skin and seeds, and then we stick em in a little jar
and freeze them....but to use them? Rather than a coating mix, which
entails deep frying them, I mix up an egg, with 1 tbls water, and place
some of that in a non stick pan, wait until it sorta sets, then place
the stuffed pepper on one side of it, and fold the other side around
it...voila! a chile relleno, not deep fried, and the one egg will do at
least two..Doug in BC
