I've never had the pickled ones like this, I've only had fresh ones stuffed and fried. I'll try, thanks!

Yeah, I know what you mean. My grandma doesn't mind giving out recipes, but my aunt is another story. Your recipe looks really good. There are a lot of people in my family (including me) that like spicy things. I'll have to try something like this at the next family gathering.

That sounds great, SierraCook. Here's another one that sounds great, although it's much more work!

STUFFED CHA-CHA CRAB CHILIES

Serves 6

Sauce:
12 tomatillos, husked and rinsed
1 small onion, quartered and peeled
6 medium garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon Chipotle hot sauce
3 Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
3 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 Cup cucumber, diced and seeded

Chilies:
6 large Poblano chili peppers
4 ounces goat cheese, mild and smooth type
3/4 Cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
12 ounces cooked crab meat

DIRECTIONS:

Sauce:

1. Place tomatillos, onions and garlic in a large heavy skillet. Heat over medium-high heat, turning often for 5 minutes. Tomatillos and onion should be slightly charred but still firm.

2. Transfer tomatillo mixture to a food processor and add cumin, cayenne, hot sauce, cilantro, lime juice and salt. Blend to a coarse puree.

3. Return mixture to skillet and keep warm while preparing the stuffed chilies.

Chilies:

1. Place chilies on a baking sheet and place under the broiler, turning a few times until all sides are charred. Place in a paper bag and seal. Set aside for 8 minutes.

2. While chilies are resting, in a medium bowl, blend the goat cheese, Monterey jack and crab meat. Set aside.

3. Peel chilies then cut a slit lengthwise down one side only and carefully remove seeds.

4. Stuff each chili with cheese mixture and place them cut side up on a baking sheet, gently pressing to seal.

5. Broil 6 to 8 minutes until cheese is melted and chilies are heated through.

6. Transfer to a serving plate and spoon sauce around the chilies.
