poblanos
Mexican stuffing peppers
Poblanos are dark green chile peppers, mild to medium in heat, popular in Mexican cuisine.
They're typically roasted and peeled before use.
Stuffed with cheese or meat and fried in egg batter, they become chiles rellenos.
Dried poblanos are called anchos.
I charred the poblanos over the flame to blister the skin.
