mexican poblano chili pepper stew
Another dish taught to us by Lupe, in Mexico. We have slightly amended it for ingredients found north of the border. This dish uses the Poblano pepper, a very common pepper that can be found up north as well. Often this pepper is prepared stuffed with a corn meal crust. This however is another thing entirely! Delicious and simple to make.
Directions
Roast the poblano pepper to blacken the outer skin on the stove. Put directly on the burner of the gas stove and blacken quickly, without really cooking the pepper all that much. Then put the peppers into a plastic bag for an hour or so while they cool, which helps make the skin fall off the pepper better.
