Poblano Pepper Crema The Ultimate Poblano Cheese Dip Recipes

POBLANO PEPPER CREMA: THE ULTIMATE POBLANO CHEESE DIP RECIPE

Steps:

• Clean and rinse your peppers and cilantro before incorporating them into the recipe.
• Remove the stems from the peppers. Discard the stems.
• To reduce the heat in this recipe, halve the peppers and remove the seeds. If you like spicy quesos like me, simply skip this step.
• Roughly chop ½ of a cilantro bunch, including its stems.
• Halve limes and juice into a ¼ measuring cup.
• Using a blender, food processor, or hand blender, add all the ingedients and blend until smooth.
• Taste the crema and determine whether or not it needs additional salt. If you would like additional salt in this recipe, add it gradually and in small increments to not over salt the dip. If you have over salted the dip, add more lime juice to neutralize the salt.
• Pour the poblano cheese dip into a beautiful serving bowl and enjoy with chips or veggies. Happy dipping!

GRILLED POBLANO QUESO DIP

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat (400 degrees F -200 degrees C) and lightly oil the grate.
• Lightly spray or brush poblano peppers with olive oil. Cook peppers on the preheated grill, turning every couple minutes, until charred and softened, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Remove peppers from the grill and place in a large resealable plastic bag to steam, about 15 minutes. Peel off the charred skins. Discard seeds and chop peppers.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Add onion and cook for 1 minute more. Whisk in milk slowly and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add Monterey Jack cheese, cream cheese, salt, paprika, pepper, red pepper flakes, and cayenne; whisk until the cheeses have melted and are blended in, about 5 minutes. Stir in chopped poblano peppers.
