I have about 15 poblanos I’ve picked out of my garden. They are too small to stuff for rellenos really. They are about 3” each. Any ideas what to make? Par boil them with some tomatillos and put them in a blender for salsa verde?

Halve them lengthwise and stuff with something like crabmeat.

look up some donald link recipes. He uses them a lot. Of course, these are larger recipes like chicken sauce piquant.

Did you sweat them and peel them after grilling?

Roast them then place into a ziplock or Tupperware to steam so you can easily remove the skin.

Then use the food processor make a cream sauce. You could do sour cream or mexican crema with garlic and lime and cilantro.

Or maybe just garlic and paprika with heavy cream.

Either way, the sauce is good on any meat. Even just a boring chicken breast. It’s also good in tacos or on burgers.

Literally anything you would do with a bell pepper

Also good in queso

Everything. I use them instead of bell peppers in almost every dish that utilizes the trinity. Use them for fajitas, sauces, etc.

I guess the whole issue, is that I was trying to avoid roasting and peeling. I guess I'm going to have to nut up and stop trying to be lazy. This cream sauce sounds really good.

I have stuffed them with cheesy grits and topped with grilled large shrimp... excellent meal.

If they are that small... then i'd clean them cut in half and slice for burger topping or taco toppings...

I love poblanos.. great spice and smoke flavor.

yeah, I rarely grill burgers without having some roasted chiles and avocado for toppers.

I use mine to make my adaptation of Wahoo's green sauce. I use lowfat dairy but you can go full fat. Sometimes I toss in a jalapeno for heat.

1/2 bunch cilantro
4 - 6 small poblano peppers
juice of 1 lime
1/2 c plain, lowfat yogurt
1/2 c lowfat sour cream
Salt to taste (start at about 1/4 tsp)

Blend all together. Adjust salt.

I diced one up last night with some bacon, a small onion and an apple. I sauteed it and stuffed a couple of thick pork chops with it, seared on the stove, then put in the oven to finish. Deglazed the pan with balsamic vinegar, butter and a little chicken stock for a sauce to pour over the pork

That sounds delicious.

I ended up making a poblano cream per LL’s recipe. I grilled a bunch of chicken thighs, chopped up the meat, and made what amounted to New Mexico style stacked enchiladas. Those little poblanos were HOT!

I use poblanos in my gumbo and jumbalaya. Poblanos and sweet banana peppers are so underrated, I’m personally not a huge fan of bell peppers but wife loves them so I go back and forth between poblano and bell pepper, or sometimes just use both
