Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup Mexican crema, crema fresca
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
5 poblano peppers
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onions, thickly sliced
1 cup drained canned corn kernels

Steps:

  • Blend the crema, cream cheese, and chicken bouillon in a blender until smooth; set aside.
  • Place the peppers on a large griddle over medium-high heat. Roast until the skin blisters and turns black. Remove peppers from griddle and place in a plastic bag, allowing them to sweat for 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool. Peel and discard the outer skin of the peppers; halve length-wise and remove the seeds and veins. Slice into thick strips. Set aside.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; cook the onion in the hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir the corn into the onions, reduce the heat to medium, and cook another 5 minutes. Add the poblano strips to the saucepan. Pour the cream mixture over the vegetables and bring to a simmer; cook at a simmer until hot, about 5 minutes more.

I'm always looking for new ways to cook poblanos, and this recipe definitely fits the bill. The roasting process really brings out the flavor of the peppers, and the combination of corn, cheese, and crema is delicious. I served it with rice and beans

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover poblanos. I had some leftover from making chiles rellenos, and I used them to make this dish. It turned out great! The poblanos were still flavorful, and the combination of corn, cheese, and crema was del

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use a milder pepper, or maybe just remove the seeds from the poblanos before roasting them.
