poblano chiles

A mild to moderately hot, dark green chili pepper (*Capsicum annuum*). Its thick flesh and wide cavity make it the premier choice for stuffing (as in Chiles Rellenos), and roasting it transforms its mild, earthy flavor into something deeply savory, rich, and slightly sweet. **Selection & Storage:** Select dark green, firm peppers that feel heavy for their size. Store in the crisper drawer, though they are best roasted and peeled soon after purchase.
