Chiles Rellenos with Tomato Salsa


Sunday April 6

The Cheap People at Findlay Market had four large poblano peppers at two for a dollar - if you're going to make chiles rellenos, you want long, not wide, peppers, so that the cheese stuffed inside them can all get melted.

We gave the basic recipe here, for a New Mex fav. Winter Roma tomatoes whizzed up in the robo-coupe came out a bit mushy, but we made up for it by mixing into both salsa and cheese the very first tender leaves of cilantro picked from the garden. We can't believe they overwintered, and Barbara is encouraging them as beneficent weeds.
