poblano discovery

Everyone says you need to roast poblanos to take off the skin. This is standard procedure if you're making chile rellenos.

But! I made a discorvery! You don't need to. This roasting and peeling is a step you can skip with fine results if you're using the poblano chile just as a regular veggie. I did it yesterday and this morning.

I feel so happy because they have such a nice flavor, and roasting them is such a pain, but now I can use them more. Mild as bell peppers but with so much more personality.
