Poblanos

[FarrahWaters]

I bought some poblano chilies the other day by mistake. What should I do with them?

Chile Relleno

Poblano is the Chile they use in Mexico. Hollow those suckers out, refill with cheese, batter 'em up, cook and call it a meal!

You can fill them up with lots of stuff but cheese is the quickest/easiest.

Correction, Poblano is just one of MANY chiles that are used in Mexico. I'm sure you meant to say that poblano chiles are traditionally used for chile relleno.

And I agree that/s a good idea for using them. Or if you have a gas stove and one of those little pan steamer thingies (that you steam veggies with, etc) you can lay it over the flame, roast it until the skin is blackened and bubbly, rinse in cold water (skin comes right off) and you have a wonderful, flavorful chile that can be cut up and used in a salsa roja.

I love Alton Brown. Mostly because he explains how certain foods and ingredients work together to compliment one another and doesn't just cook a recipe in a half an hour.

I agree, roast them or do chile rellenos. I'm hungry now.
