SPICY CHORIZO STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS WITH CHEESE
Fresh whole Poblano peppers blanched and stuffed with a spicy chorizo sausage, rice, and vegetable filling, covered in enchilada sauce and cheese and baked. Serve with refried beans and sour cream on the side... and you've got an explosion of flavor! I created this recipe after my husband planted jalapenos and harvested Poblanos... the seed company had labeled them wrong! A fortunate mistake in my opinion as these peppers are so delicious and this recipe really highlights their unique smoky flavor!

Steps:
- *If you can't find a package of ground Chorizo sausage, buy them whole and remove the casings before cooking.
- In a large pan on medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Put the ground Chorizo in the pan, and break it all up so it can cook evenly. Stir occasionally and continue cooking as you work on the ingredients.
- Meanwhile, start a large pot of salted water to boil.
- While you are waiting for the water to boil, start preparing your Poblano peppers. Slice the tops off of the pepper, and scoop out the inner seeds. Discard the seeds, but save the tops of the peppers.
- Add the Poblano peppers to the boiling water, and set up an ice bath ready on the side. After about 8 minutes, plunge them in the ice water.
- Start another pan on medium heat with a tablespoon of olive oil.
- Take the reserved tops of the Poblano peppers and trim off the stem and inedible parts. Mince the remaining pepper.
- Add the pepper and chopped onion to the pan. Saute a few minutes, then add the chopped red bell pepper. Saute for a few minutes longer.
- Next, add the rice, and mix all together. Stir in the tomato paste and water.
- Add the cooked Chorizo sausage and stir well.
- Season with salt and pepper or seasoning salt to your liking. Finish with a squeeze of half of lime.
- Remove the peppers from the ice bath and shake off excess water. Have a 13 x 9 pan ready, and begin stuffing each pepper with the mixture. Lay the stuffed peppers in the pan.
- Pour the enchilada sauce over all the peppers, allowing excess to drip into the pan.
- Sprinkle cheese evenly over the tops of the peppers.
- Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
- Serve with extra enchilada sauce, refried beans, and sour cream.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right poblano peppers: Look for peppers that are large, firm, and have a deep green color. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Roast the poblano peppers properly: Roasting the peppers brings out their flavor and makes them easier to peel. Make sure to roast the peppers until they are charred and blistered, but not burned.
- Use fresh chorizo: Fresh chorizo has a more flavorful and authentic taste than pre-cooked chorizo. If you can't find fresh chorizo, you can substitute ground beef or pork.
- Don't overcook the chorizo: Overcooked chorizo will become dry and tough. Cook the chorizo until it is just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Use a variety of cheeses: Using a combination of cheeses will give the filling a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, and cream cheese.
- Serve the peppers immediately: Stuffed poblano peppers are best served hot and fresh out of the oven. They can be served as a main course or as a side dish.
Conclusion:
Spicy chorizo stuffed poblano peppers with cheese are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
