Stuffed Poblanos
source: Ezra Pound Cake as adapted from Everyday Food
Ingredients
- 1 can (28 ounces) whole tomatoes in puree
- 1 jalapeno, ribs and seeds removed, minced
- 2 small onions, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves (2 whole, 1 minced)
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 can (19 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained (I used a 15 oz can)
- 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese (I used sharp cheddar)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 4 large poblano chiles, halved lengthwise (stems left intact), ribs and seeds removed
- Garnishes: sour cream, cilantro, lime zest
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. In a blender, combine tomatoes in puree, jalapeno, half the onions, and 2 whole garlic cloves; puree. Season with salt. Pour sauce into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, combine beans, cornmeal, 1/2 cup cheese, remaining onions, minced garlic, cumin, and 3/4 cup water; season with salt and pepper. (The mixture might look watery and not so appetizing. Forge ahead!)
4. Stuff poblano halves with bean mixture; place on top of sauce in baking dish. (If you have extra bean filling, you can add it to the dish.) Sprinkle poblanos with remaining 1/2 cup cheese; cover dish with aluminum foil.
5. Bake until poblanos are tender, about 45 minutes. Uncover, and continue to cook until sauce is thickened slightly and cheese is browned, 10 to 15 minutes more, rotating after 6 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes.

are poblanos more flavorful?
Jing, I think so (I'm assuming you mean more flavorful than bell peppers). They are still fairly mild but more flavorful than a green bell pepper in particular.
I am always a little worried by how much we think along the same lines. I just picked up some poblanos yesterday especially for stuffing.
We've really got to get new blender so I can make these. Our blender mixed its last a few weeks ago.
I love poblanos too! I just posted a few weeks ago about how they are my favorite pepper :) Great recipe!
This sounds so good! I am trying this. We raise them on our farm, just because we enjoy them in chile rellenos! Or in a creamy pablano soup.
Thanks for your recipe! Judy @Doe Run Farm
