It's easy to fall into a habit of eating heavy food in the winter, because let's face it, doughy food tastes wonderful when it's blustery and freezing cold outside. A nice piece of pie, some cinnamon buns, maybe some pasta...But I think that's just the right time to remind yourself how good fresh produce can be.
I found this recipe on Pinterest, where I find most of my recipes and decided to give it a try. I didn't feel like grilling (because snow) so I took one of the readers' advice and baked mine in the oven for 30 mins at 350F.
I also decided to keep the rice out of the equation, too. From what I read, the filling was more than enough (with the rice) for most who tried it. I was really happy with the way my filling turned out with the beans, tomato, cilantro, onion and cheese (I used cheddar). If you want to use rice, I think you could use the rice or even quinoa (if you're a fan).
What I failed to remember was that I should grill and peel my poblanos first. So here was my stovetop attempt to blacken and peel them. It really didn't go too badly but could gone better. I'm open to suggestions here, guys.
I cooked some spicy vegan sausage from Field Roast and served with some leftover lettuce and avocado slices. Overall, I was satisfied with the result. Could it have looked prettier? Yes. Could I have done a better job peeling the peppers? Absolutely. Was it fun? Of course.
