Poblano Pickle Relish Food

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.

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.

TUNA BURGERS WITH PINEAPPLE-MUSTARD GLAZE AND GREEN CHILE-PICKLE RELISH

Steps:

• Combine the pineapple juice, vinegar, ginger, soy sauce and brown sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.

Shape the ground tuna firmly into 8 round uniform patties about 1 1/2-inches thick. Refrigerate for 30 minutes; the burgers must be very cold to hold their shape when cooking. Grill burgers for 3 minutes on each side for medium doneness, basting often with the glaze. Serve the burgers on buns with the watercress and the Green Chile-Pickle Relish.

• For the salsa ranchero: Heat the oil in a skillet until hot. Add the tomatoes, bell peppers, onions and garlic. Cook until the onions are browned, about 2 minutes. Add the canned tomatoes and simmer until the sauce is lumpy, 10 to 15 minutes.
