    Recipe



    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.

    Serves 6
