Roasted Poblano Sauce

Try this go-to poblano cream sauce on chicken, fish, pork – you can even try it on top of mac 'n cheese or omelettes!

Ingredients

• 2 large poblano peppers
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped or grated
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 cup chicken stock
• A handful of cilantro, chopped
• 1 cup heavy cream

Preparation

Pre-heat the broiler to high.

With the oven door ajar to allow steam to escape, broil the poblanos until charred all over. Place the poblano peppers in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let cool. Peel, seed and roughly chop.

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and cumin and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the onion is translucent, 8-10 minutes.

Add the poblanos, then whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the stock and let thicken.

Transfer to a food processor; add the cilantro and puree. Transfer to a pot, add the cream and let thicken to coat a spoon.

Freeze flat in a gallon-size bag or in small sandwich-size bags for smaller servings.

Serve over chicken, pork or steak.
