Crab-Stuffed Poblano Chilies with Mango Salsa
Ingredients
1 cup chopped peeled mango
1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon balsamic or white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons grated fresh Romano or Parmesan cheese, divided
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 (15-ounce) carton fat-free ricotta cheese
1 (14-ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained
1 (6-ounce) can lump crab meat, drained
4 (5-inch) poblano chilies, halved lengthwise and seeded
Cilantro sprigs (optional)

Directions:
Combine first four ingredients in a small bowl; stir well. Cover and chill. Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
Combine 2 tablespoons Romano cheese, oregano, mustard, pepper, and ricotta cheese in a food processor, and process until smooth. Spoon into a bowl, and stir in artichokes and crab meat. Divide mixture evenly among the Chile halves, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon Romano cheese. Place stuffed chilies on a baking sheet, and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve chilies with mango salsa, and garnish with cilantro sprigs, if desired.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 Chile halves and 1/3 cup salsa).
Note: Substitute 4 red or green bell peppers for poblano chilies, if desired.
