6 New Mexico chiles (or equiv) roasted — peeled,

slit an d carefully deseeded 2 sole fillets (about 1/2 lb)

2 ears fresh sweet corn — shucked

4 oz Monterey Jack cheese — grated

1 medium potato cut into small dice

1 medium onion finely chopped

2 cloves garlic

1 sprig fresh oregano

salt and freshly ground black pepper. oil for frying

Cook the corn in boiling water for 5 minutes and let cool. Strip the kernels from the ears with a sharp knife. Bake or saute the fish until cooked through, then cut into small pieces and put aside. Fry the diced potatos on high heat until crispy and brown (turn only occasionally for best results). Add the onion, and fry until clear. Add the garlic and stir for 1 minute, then add the corn, fish and oregano. Heat through, stirring to mix thoroughly. Stuff the peppers with about 1/3 cheese, 2/3 fish mixture. Then cook as above (either bake for 10 minutes at 350, or batter and fry). I served these sauced with a fresh tomato/onion/cilantro/lime salsa cruda. Serves 2 as a main course, or 6 as an appetizer.
