Jeeves, any preferred wine parings with the Poblanos?
Sangria? Chianti? Dago Red?

My suggestion would be a pinotage. It's the only red I know of that can handle food that has a little more pop to it.

A nice side for grilled skirt steak: slowly caramelize a huge sweet onion with a couple of sliced poblanos in a bit of olive oil and butter, salt to taste..Med. low heat (this takes nearly an hour but can't be rushed). Onions are soft and sweet with a little heat from the peppers.

My stuffing usually consists of some sage sausage, golden raisins that have soaked in some rum, walnuts, onions, cumin, ginger, cardamom, and some sweet potato pancake dry mix to bind. Top it all off w/shredded monterey jack to melt then add cilantro. If you like heat, then add a touch of cayenne to the stuffing. You can also S&P to taste, but I let the spices do their work on their own.
This sounds great! I'm going to try it!

I have only cooked cooked stuffed Poblanos twice and I do not have a standard recipe, but I never did fry them.

Thanks everyone for the replies. All sound good. I especially love that fritata. Gonna make that one morning soon.
So what I have come up with so far that I think I am going with is
a) stuffed with sweet corn and chicken, queso with spanish rice and black beans on the side
b) stuff with corn chicken and rice and queso and beans with just the rice on the side with sliced avacado.
I have already made the rice, and chicken and scorched and peeled the peppers
I'm thinking that I don't want to overstuff, so I might go with option one.
I might add salsa and shredded Mexican mix cheese to top to before I stick in oven.
Let ya'll know tomorrow how it comes out.
And here it is!

That looks mighty good, Yvette! I don't write anything down either. Rarely make anything the same way twice anyway!
