Instructions
- Preheat the broiler in the oven to high.
- Add the poblano peppers to a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet on the top shelf in the oven, 6-8 inches under the broiler.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the skin begins to turn black and bubble on the peppers.
- Remove from the oven, use tongs to flip the peppers and continue to cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the skin begins to bubble.
- Remove the peppers from the oven and immediately transfer them to a plastic zipper bag, seal the bag shut and set aside for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, remove the peppers from the bag and once they're cool to the touch, use your fingers to peel the skin away. Discard the papery skins.
- Remove the stems from the peppers, and the membrane and seeds inside.
- Place the roasted, peeled peppers in a blender with the garlic cloves, sour cream, lime juice, cilantro leaves and salt.
- Blend for 30 seconds, or until smooth and creamy.
Notes
- The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. The sauce will thicken in the refrigerator. To thin it out before serving, add 1 teaspoon water and blend the sauce again, or stir it up with a spoon. If it’s still too thick, add another teaspoon of water, until it reaches your desired consistency.
- To make this recipe dairy-free and vegan, replace the sour cream with dairy-free sour cream. All other ingredients are naturally vegan.
- This sauce is mild in spice. If you want to add more spice, roast 1 jalapeno with the poblano peppers and add it the blender to make the sauce.
