Poblano peppers stuffed with roasted corn topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 6 small poblano peppers
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 4 ears of corn, shelled
- 1 large bunch green onions, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Grated zest of half a lime + juice of 1 lime
- 0.5 cup crumbled cotija cheese
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 230°C (430°F). Place the peppers on a baking sheet and toss with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, 0.5 teaspoon of cumin, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Bake until the peppers begin to brown and soften, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, transfer the corn to another baking sheet, brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin. Bake until lightly golden, 15 minutes; flip, add the green onions, and bake for another 15 minutes. Let cool.
- Make a 5cm slit along the length of each pepper, remove the seeds, and slightly open the pod. Peel the skin if necessary.
- Cut the corn kernels off the cobs; add them to a bowl along with the green onions, then use the back of a knife to scrape off the corn milk. Add sour cream, cilantro, lime zest and juice. Season with salt to taste.
- Spoon the corn mixture into the peppers. Sprinkle the filling with cotija cheese. Return the peppers to the oven and bake until the cheese is golden brown, about 8 minutes.
