Spiced Potato stuffed Poblano Peppers

Spiced Potato Stuffed Poblano Peppers



Prep Time: 25 Min

Cook Time: 30 - 35 Min

 

1. Begin melting the butter and EVOO together in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the red onion and green onion and a pinch of salt. Sautee roughly 5 minutes.

 

1. Add the potatoes and a generous pinch of sea salt. Cover, stir and sauté 5 – 7 minutes.

 

1. Stir in the garlic, along with the spice blend. Cover and continue cooking 5 – 7 minutes.

 

1. Remove lid and cook until potatoes get a bit crispy (another 5 or so minutes).

 

1. Taste and adjust salt if desired. Stir in the fresh cilantro & parsley and set aside off the heat with the lid on.

 

1. Set the oven to broil on 450 F

 

1. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and lay the open portions of the peppers face down. Spray the peppers with cooking spray and season each one with sea salt. Put in oven to broil about 5 minutes (check for blistering / blackening)

 

1. Flip the peppers over to expose the open side. Return to broiler 4 or 5 minutes. Remove the peppers from the oven.

 

1. Transfer the peppers to a baking dish placing them open side up. Sprinkle a pinch of cheese inside the bottom of each pepper. Spoon the potato mixture generously into the peppers. Press down to force the filling into the corners and stack the filling generously. Top each pepper with a mound of shredded cheddar / jal cheddar. Return to oven for 3 – 5 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

 

1. Serve garnished with my fresh cilantro pico, delicious corn salad, or even some sour cream and hot sauce.

 

1. ENJOY!
