Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 pounds fresh poblano peppers
2 cloves garlic, sliced extra thin
Salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups extra virgin olive oil
4 to 6 sprigs fresh thyme
1 loaf country bread (optional)
Pickled white anchovies (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat a grill or griddle until very hot. Place whole peppers on cooking surface (if using a grill, lay a sheet of aluminum foil under peppers) and cook until skin is completely black and flesh is soft, about 20 minutes. Turn peppers every 2 to 3 minutes for even cooking.
  • When completely charred, wrap peppers in newspaper or place in paper bag; set aside to cool at least 15 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove stems, seeds and skin, working gently to limit breakage.
  • Cut peppers lengthwise in half, then into strips about 1/4-inch thick. Arrange peppers in a shallow dish and sprinkle with sliced garlic, salt and pepper. Add olive oil and thyme, cover and marinate at least 2 hours or, preferably, overnight.
  • Serve at room temperature with crusty bread as an appetizer, or as a side dish with grilled fish, steak or pork. To serve on toast, slice bread and toast or grill just before serving. Drizzle toast with a little oil from dish, add a few pepper strips, and top with an anchovy.
