Vegetarian Stuffed Poblanos image

Poblano peppers stuffed with black beans, cheese and cornmeal, from Martha Stewart Everyday Food, April 2008. I've mostly just stolen this recipe from marthastewart.com, but added a few tips. If the poblanos are a little flattish, be sure to slice the peppers so that they they form a deep "pocket" to stuff. Be sure to use a reasonably good cheese. If you can't find good quality pepper jack, use plain Monterey Jack or cojack cheese and be sure to include the minced pepper. Cook time includes cooling time.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes in puree
1 jalapeno chile, minced (ribs and seeds removed, for less heat) (optional)
2 small onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves (2 whole, 1 minced)
salt and pepper
1 (19 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup shredded monterey jack pepper cheese
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 large poblano chiles, halved lengthwise, seeded
crushed tortilla chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425. In a blender, combine tomatoes in puree, jalapeno, half the onions, and 2 whole garlic cloves; puree. Season with salt. Pour sauce into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine beans, cornmeal, 1/2 cup cheese, remaining onions, minced garlic, cumin, and 3/4 cup water; season with salt and pepper.
  • Dividing evenly, stuff poblano halves with bean mixture; place on top of sauce in baking dish. Sprinkle poblanos with remaining 1/2 cup cheese; cover baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Bake until poblanos are tender, about 45 minutes. Uncover, and continue to cook until sauce is thickened slightly and cheese is browned, 10 to 15 minutes more. Let cool 10 minutes.
  • Plate the stuffed poblanos, sprinkle with crushed tortilla chips and top with sauce.
