Poblano Corn Pudding ...p68

I made this to accompany Ashton's Cornbread Dinner.  Both are delicious (in my opinion), but too much breadstuff when combined.  In fact, we all decided that the Poblano Corn Pudding would be an excellent layer (minus the panko bread crumbs) in Ashton's Cornbread Dinner.  I love peanut butter dipped in chocolate eureka moments!  So let us know if you're brave enough to try it.

Adding poblanos to corn pudding sounded like a great idea and it was.  I think the recipe intends for you to roast and steam the peppers in order to peel the waxy skin off prior to dicing up.  Am I right, Lis?  I don't have a gas stove, regrettably, but if you do, you can lay the peppers into a high flame until black and blistered also (gives more char to the flavor), then steam and peel.  I usually just pop the roasted peppers into a ziplock bag to steam them.

Did you know that when dried, a poblano pepper is an ancho chile?   And that, when gone to seed, cilantro is the spice coriander?

Mango and jicama placed on a romaine leaf added a nice bit of refreshment to the meal.  I'm beginning to like the idea of Bob's Yum-Yukka meter - while Nana gave both of these a smile, only one side of her mouth was up.  Oh well.

Hardy Appetit!
