Poblano Cilantro Relish Food

4-INGREDIENT ROASTED POBLANO CREAM SAUCE - RECIPE

Steps:

• 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.
• Remove from heat and place them into a paper bag or plastic baggie. The heat will steam them and loosen the skins.
• Peel away the skins and place the roasted peppers into a food processor with the remaining ingredients.
• Process until nice and smooth.
• Adjust for salt and serve as desired.

POBLANO-CILANTRO RELISH

Steps:

• Light a grill and preheat for for at least 10 minutes or preheat a grill pan. Skewer the garlic. Grill the garlic and poblanos over moderately high heat, turning frequently, until the garlic is charred and softened, about 5 minutes, and the poblanos are blackened all over, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer the vegetables to a plate. Peel the garlic and transfer to a food processor. Peel the peppers, then core them and discard most of the seeds. Cut the peppers into strips and transfer to a food processor.
• Pulse the garlic and peppers until coarsely chopped. Add the cilantro, fish sauce, sugar and 1 tablespoon of lime juice and pulse to a chunky puree. Add the vegetable oil and process until incorporated. Season the relish with more lime juice, if desired, and serve.

Add the poblano, 2 cups fire-roasted corn and 1 teaspoon ground cumin; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, until hot, 5 to 6 minutes.

• Meanwhile, heat broiler, with rack in top position. Place poblanos and onion on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until charred, 7 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. When poblanos are cool enough to handle, rub with a paper towel to remove skins. Remove stems and seeds and discard. Roughly chop poblanos and onion and place in a medium bowl. Stir in oil, lime juice, and cilantro; season relish with salt and pepper.
• Heat a grill or grill pan to high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Remove steak from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill steak 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, flipping once.

EASY POBLANO PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Poblano peppers have a thick skin that is best removed. To do so, you can char the peppers on an open flame or an outdoor grill.
• Keep a close eye on the peppers so that they don't burn. They're ready when their skin begins to darken and bubble and peels away from the pepper flesh easily. Once this happens on one side of the peppers, flip them over. The entire process can take 15 to 20 minutes or so, depending on the peppers' size.
• Remove the peppers from the oven and allow them to cool. Once you can handle them, gently peel away the darkened skin and discard it.
• Remove the stem and cube the poblanos into small, even-sized pieces. You can either discard or include the seeds. Set the poblanos aside.
• Heat the oil in a large pan. Once it's hot, add the onion and sauté until it is soft and translucent.
• Add the serranos and cook until they soften.
• Now add the poblano pepper pieces, sprinkle in a half teaspoon of fine sea salt and the pinch of sugar, and then add the vinegar.
• Give the pan a good stir and continue to cook for another 10 minutes to really allow the flavors to come together.
• Taste the relish and add more salt or vinegar if desired. Serve warm or store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
