What goes with Poblano Pepper?
A fresh green poblano has broad shoulders, fleshy walls and a seed cavity large enough to hold a substantial filling. Its flavour is green and gently earthy, with variable chile heat and little inherent sweetness. The skin can remain leathery after the flesh softens, which makes peeling valuable for smooth sauces, tender strips and stuffed peppers.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Poblano Pepper?
Sweet corn, mild dairy and ripe tomato give the green flesh different points of balance: juicy sweetness, creaminess and bright savour respectively. Lentils or shellfish can provide enough substance for poblano to remain a major part of the mouthful. Use earthy spices sparingly, and reduce wet fillings before assembly so the pepper's own juices do not turn them into soup.
