BEEF AND ALMOND STUFFED POBLANOS WITH SALSA VERDE
My stripped-down version of chiles rellenos calls for stuffing seeded, raw poblano halves with spiced, almond-studded ground beef, then baking everything until the pepper flesh melts into a velvet pocket surrounding the fragrant meat. For a sauce, I make my favorite tomatillo salsa verde, though jarred green or red salsa would shave some time off the recipe.

- Fill cavity of each pepper with meat mixture. Transfer peppers to a baking dish, cut side up. Bake until peppers are soft, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve hot, topped with salsa verde.

Tips
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Choose the right poblano peppers: Look for poblano peppers that are dark green, smooth, and firm. Avoid any peppers that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Roast the poblano peppers properly: Roasting the poblano peppers is a key step in this recipe. Make sure you roast them until the skins are charred and blistered. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them easier to peel.
- Stuff the meatloaf carefully: When you're stuffing the meatloaf, be careful not to overfill it. Otherwise, the meatloaf may crack or fall apart when you cook it.
- Cook the meatloaf to the right temperature: Use a meat thermometer to make sure the meatloaf is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to ensure that it is safe to eat.
