Cheesy Stuffed Poblanos - p.51-52

Well we begin again. This seemed like a good dish for a snow day. Our house smells fantastic now that the peppers are baking in the oven.

Prep was easy. The beans and onions and water cooked down just about as fast as they said; we were surprised. The peppers from the market were beautiful and glossy.  The recipe said to microwave the peppers for 2.5 minutes to soften them up a bit - a very good trick.

Don’t they look amazing?

The only frustration so far was the recipe pages themselves required turning back and forth (two sides of one page rather than facing pages); with wet hands kind of a pain. But the cookbook is getting that used look and feel, so that is good, right? 

And the finished dish. The tomato salsa helps balance the dish with an acid component (p.43).

Super yummy. It was a lot of food. Maybe I would eat just one big one next time. :-) They are way less greasy than chile relleno.
