Description

Roasted poblano peppers and sweet corn kernels simmered in a sauce made with cream and Mexican cheese. A deliciously easy Mexican staple.

Ingredients
  • 4 poblano peppers
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 ear fresh corn, kernels cut off
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 ½ ounces Mexican manchego cheese, grated
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and add poblano peppers. Brush peppers with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
  2. 2. Roast poblano peppers in the preheated oven for 20 minutes; flip and continue roasting until skin is charred and flesh is soft, about 20 minutes more.
  3. 3. Place roasted peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap; let steam for 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully remove plastic wrap and peel the skins from the peppers and remove seeds and stems. Cut peppers into strips.
  4. 4. Bring a pot of water to a boil; cook corn kernels until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  5. 5. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion until soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Add poblano pepper strips and corn; season with chicken bouillon granules and cook for 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in cream and manchego cheese; simmer until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
