Roasted
- Roasting poblano peppers brings out their smoky, slightly sweet flavor. There are two common methods:
- On the stove (direct flame or comal) – Place the poblanos over an open flame or a hot comal, turning until all sides are charred.
- In the oven – Roast at 400°F (200°C) until the skin blisters and blackens.
Rajas (Strips)
- Poblanos are often sliced into strips (rajas) and used in stews, soups, or sautéed with onions and cream (rajas con crema).
Stuffed Poblanos
- Cut them in half, remove the seeds, and stuff them with fillings like quinoa, rice, beans, or cheese.
