Roasted Poblano Mayo Recipes

HOW TO ROAST POBLANO PEPPERS | STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE

Steps:

• Throughly rinse each pepper to make sure to remove any dirt, use a paper towel or clean kitchen towel to pat dry each pepper.
• Turn your stove on to a medium-high flame, carefully place two or three peppers directly on the burner and over the flame. You'll want to use the tongs to help arrange the peppers so that they don't fall off and to help ensure even heat/flame on each one. Slowly the Poblanos will get little blisters that will darken and make a little popping sound. You'll have to use the tongs to keep turning them so that the entire pepper is evenly charred on all sides. Do not leave them unattended because you want the other skin just to darken like in the pictures and not burn entirely and turn to ash.
• Once blackened on all sides, remove from the flame and continue the same step until each pepper has been roasted on the flame. You'll also notice that the chile's flesh will feel soft, you want to make sure that it feels this way throughout.
• After you have roasted all of the peppers, place on a plate and cover with plastic wrap or put them in a container with a lid, or put them inside of a plastic sandwich bag and seal. Now leave the chiles aside for about 10 minutes. Whilst they are inside any of these sealed containers they begin to release their heat as well as some natural liquid, this is what we call "sweating the chiles". The purpose of this step is so that all of those little bits of charred skin will easily peel away from the pepper.
• Next you can place a "sweated" chile on a cutting board or plate and use a knife to gently scrape away the charred skin. Alternatively, you can use your hands to hold the pepper and with your other hand use your fingers to carefully pull away the charred skin. Either way works great, pick which ever is easiest for you.
• Use a paper towel or a little water to remove any of the excess charred bits from the peppers.
