Great Grater Gadget Giveaway

Congratulations to JoAnne, WINNER of this Great Grater Gadget Giveaway!
The Dish: Chile Rellenos

In cooperation with CSN Stores and their Cookware.com site, Dishes with my Dish is pleased to offer our first giveaway! CSN Stores has over 200 online stores where you can find everything from stylish handbags, to modern extra tall bar stools, or great cookware!

Taking my shameless promotion of dairy products in consideration, and a nifty $20 giveaway (including shipping) offer from CSN Stores, I searched their Cookware.com site for the perfect complementing item: cheese graters! From their site, there are many great grater gadgets from which to choose; for example:
Alessi Parmenide Grater
LEIFHEIT Cheese Grater
OXO Box Grater
Because we were asked to devise the rules to this giveaway, here's what we ask:

Comment on this post with your superlative dairy-based recipe
(the more moo, the better!). 

In exactly one week,
James and I will select our favorite,
and announce a winner
(as well as slip them the giveaway's discount code for use on Cookware.com).

    Chile Rellenos

    8 large, roasted, peeled, and seeded Poblano chiles
    4 large eggs, separated
    1/4 cup flour
    Monterey Jack cheese cut into 1/4 inch strips
    Cumin, salt, pepper, garlic
    Enchilada or other tomato-based Mexican sauce
    Oil for frying

    Batter:
    1. Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks have formed.
    2. Beat the egg yolks with one tablespoon flour and spices.
    3. Gently fold the yolk mixture into egg whites.

    Process:
    Preheat the oil. It should be fairly hot.

    1. Using the slit made from seeding the chiles, gently stuff the cheese into the chiles, being careful not to overstuff them. Secure the slit with toothpicks.

    2. Roll the chiles in flour and dip each one in the batter.

    3. Fry the chiles until the batter is golden and the cheese slightly melts.

    4. Drain, drizzle the enchilada sauce over the chiles and enjoy.

    The joy of this recipe (and dish) is that you can adapt it so many ways based on how you like it. Use different chiles, spices, cheese, and/or sauce, add carmelized onions or chicken/shredded pork bits (carnivores!) or anything you like to the stuffing...

    It's really versatile.

    D'oh! I goofed... There actually another full 48 hours for recipes to be submitted (by the silly rules I made up)!

    That said, here's a peak at my next dynamically dairy dish which I dare to develop and demolish:

    The oatmeal cake sounds really good. Not especially low cal, but then, it's oatmeal cake. :-) I wonder if I can adapt it.

    As usually, it's a battle between the spicy and the sweet.

    Waiting for an opportunity to discuss the giveaway with my fellow judge. Mostly likely we'll post the results tomorrow morning.

    After long (and overdue) consideration, tasting, pondering, and debating:

    JoAnne wins the giveaway!

    Of course, the oatmeal cake is amazing, without question.

    And, of course, nobody loses in this giveaway: Mom, a box of handmade cheeses is being sent your direction.

    Much love and thanks to both of you for participating!

    Agreed!

    With your recipe, it was the first time I fluffy egg batter dipped anything.

    Great thing about both recipes is that they were hands-on. Literally dig (or dip) your hands in, is more fun for the cook (at least this one).
