Fry in it 1/2 cup onion, 1/2 parsley, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon oregano, 2 cups raw tomatoes, 6 cloves, and 2 cups of the pepper pulp. Season with salt to taste. Cook until the sauce thickens. Strain the sauce.
- 2Cut the cheese into long strips. Roll each cheese strip in a strip of roasted, peeled, and seeded chile pepper. Heat the butter (or vegetable shortening) in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the cheese-filled chile blankets in the hot fat until the chiles are slightly softened and the cheese is heated through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- 3Serve the fried chile blankets on toast, topped with the prepared Spanish sauce.
