Accompanying the snapper is a tasty blend of barely spicy rice with hints of smooth cotilla cheese, poblanos, mint and scallion. |
Naturally milder, ground lamb takes on the flavor of cumin and plays well with poblanos, black beans and sweet potatoes. |
In a blender, combine the tomatillos, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, poblanos and 1 teaspoon of salt. |
Use thicker-fleshed chiles, such as poblanos, and allow their skin to blacken and blister without burning through the flesh. |
As for dried pasillas, they can stand in for dried poblanos like mulatos and anchos in sauces, completing the circle. |
Place poblanos on rimmed baking sheet and broil on upper-middle rack until skin is charred, 3 to 5 minutes per side. |
