Ingredients

  • 1 pound poblano peppers
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • ¼ cup Mexican crema or sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Slice the poblano peppers in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides. Remove the stems. Set them onto a baking sheet and bake them at 350 degrees 20-30 minutes, or until the skins char and bubble. You can also broil them about 12-15 minutes to the same effect.
  2. Remove from heat and place them into a paper bag or plastic baggie. The heat will steam them and loosen the skins.
  3. Peel away the skins and place the roasted peppers into a food processor with the remaining ingredients.
  4. Process until nice and smooth.
  5. Adjust for salt and serve as desired.

Notes

  • Makes about 1 cup.
  • Heat Factor: Mild. Poblanos don't have much heat, though you can easily up the heat factor by including hotter peppers, spicy chili flakes or powder, or a bit of your favorite hot sauce.
