Ingredients

Directions

  1. For the marinade: Slice the garlic cloves paper thin and put in a bowl. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, raspberry balsamic vinegar, sea salt, black pepper, red chile flakes and 2 tablespoons water and whisk together. Set aside.
  2. For the stuffed chiles: Roast and blacken the chiles over an open flame until the skins blister. Immediately place the chiles in a plastic bag to sweat for 5 minutes. 
  3. Remove the skins by scraping them off with the blunt edge of a paring knife. Make an incision from the head and stem of each chile towards the tail, large enough to prepare for stuffing. Try to remove as many seeds as possible by delicately removing the seed pod from each head. Place the chiles in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them. Let sit, refrigerated, while you cut and prepare the mangos and Brie for stuffing.
  4. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  5. Peel the mangos and cut into finger-length-sized spears. Remove the outer rind from the Brie and cut into finger-length-sized strips. 
  6. Begin to lay alternate layers of sliced mango and Brie inside of the chiles until full, trying to slide the layers towards the chile tails so that the chiles are plump and full, always finishing the last layer with mango for color. Transfer the chiles to a flat baking dish or plate and delicately spoon the marinade over them. Bake until the cheese melts, about 10 minutes. 
  7. Garnish with the chopped parsley.
