Directions

Spicy Black Bean Sauce

In a large saucepan over medium heat; heat the oil and sweat the onion, garlic, and jalapeno. Add the wine, raise the heat, and reduce until the liquid is almost completely evaporated. Add the beans and stock, reduce the heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Add the cumin and salt and pepper to taste.
Place in food processor, and process to a smooth puree.
Before serving bring to room temperature and add the tomato and tomatillos.

Batter

In a mixing bowl combine the beer, eggs, milk, flour, and melted butter, and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
Mix together the cheeses and stuff the peppers with them. Batter lightly and dredge in cornmeal.
In a large frying pan over high heat, heat the oil to 375°F, or until a drop of batter sizzles. Fry the peppers, turning until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Drain briefly on paper towels.
To serve, spoon a layer of Spicy Black Bean Sauce on a plate and place a pepper on top of the sauce.
Garnish with greens and cilantro.
