Steps:
- Grease a 13-by-9-by-2-inch glass baking dish with butter. Set aside.
- For the crepe batter: Place all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Let the batter stand for 30 minutes to allow any bubbles to settle.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the sauce: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the poblano chiles and cook for 1 minute to blend flavors. Add the heavy cream and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until reduced and the cream coats back of spoon, about 6 minutes. Cool mixture slightly then transfer to blender and process until smooth. Season the poblano sauce with salt and pepper, to taste. Return the sauce to the same skillet and keep warm over low heat until ready to serve.
- Heat a 10-inch-diameter non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush the pan with oil (or spray with non-stick cooking spray). Add scant 1/4 cupful batter to the skillet; tilt to coat the bottom of the pan with an even layer of batter. Cook for about 30 to 45 seconds until golden on the bottom, adjusting the heat, as necessary, to prevent burning, Using a spatula, turn the crepe over and cook for 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.

STUFFED POBLANO CHILES IN A CREAMY WALNUT SAUCE
Provided by Marcela Valladolid
Time 45m
Yield 8 to 10 servings
Number Of Ingredients 19
Steps:
- In a medium heavy skillet, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the pork, ground sirloin, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, salt and pepper and cook at medium heat until meat loses its pink color and is cooked through, about 7 minutes. Add the dried apples, apricots, and sweetened pineapple and remove from the heat. Add the ground cinnamon and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Set aside. Remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaf and discard.
- Sauce: Put the walnuts, Mexican crema and goat cheese in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and silky, about 2 minutes. Sauce should coat the back of a spoon. (If the sauce is too thin, add more walnuts and puree. If too thick, add more cream.) Season with salt, to taste.
- Cut a lengthwise slit into each chile and carefully cut out seeds with kitchen shears, leaving the stem intact. (For less spice, carefully remove the veins.)
- Spoon the filling into the chiles, then close, slightly overlapping the sides of the openings. Transfer the stuffed chiles, seam sides up, to plates and pour about 1/3 cup the walnut sauce over each chile, leaving some of the chile visible. Sprinkle with parsley leaves and pomegranate seeds. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- *Cook's Note: To peel the walnuts: Cook in boiling water for 1 minute and drain. When cool enough to handle, use a paring knife to remove the skins. Peeling the walnuts before adding them to the sauce will make a smoother, whiter sauce. Unpeeled walnuts can be used, but the texture will be a little grainy and slightly bitter.
STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS IN A CHIPOTLE SAUCE
As far as chiles go, poblano peppers rank among the more mild varieties, though they still offer a nice zing. Here, they are stuffed with a hearty mixture of quinoa, mushrooms, corn, and goat cheese. To counter the spice, serve with a mixed-greens salad.

FILETE DE CULICHI (TILAPIA W MUSHROOMS IN POBLANO CREAM SAUCE)
This is a my take on a special dish that our favorite Mexican restaurant in our town - 3 Margaritas - makes for my husband and me. It is not on the menu, but since we love fish they made this for us once and now we get it often, as do our friends. We expect this to be on the menu someday soon. It is tender Tilapia sautéed with garlic butter, topped with mushrooms and smothered in a special Poblano Cream sauce and it is YUMMY! You could replace the tilapia with anything - another kind of fish, chicken, whatever... and it would still be great! Serve with rice and beans on the side and fresh flour tortillas for dipping!

Tips:
- When choosing poblano peppers, look for ones that are deep green and have smooth, unblemished skin.
- To easily roast the poblano peppers, place them directly over the flame of a gas stovetop or under the broiler in your oven, turning them frequently until the skin is blackened and blistered.
- Once the poblano peppers are roasted, place them in a paper bag or airtight container to steam for 15 minutes. This will help to loosen the skin and make it easier to peel.
- To make the poblano cream sauce, be sure to use a blender or food processor to get a smooth and creamy consistency.
- For the tilapia filling, use a combination of fresh herbs, such as cilantro and parsley, to add flavor and brightness.
- When stuffing the tilapia, be careful not to overstuff them, as this can make them difficult to cook evenly.
- To ensure that the tilapia is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145°F (63°C).
- Serve the stuffed tilapia immediately with the poblano cream sauce and your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or roasted vegetables.
