Poblanos with Ranchero Sauce

Lawn Ranger

Hadn't posted much lately, but thought I'd throw in a food pic. Poblano boats with ground pork, onion, garlic, mushroom, squash, and black olive...smothered in ranchero sauce. Beans are cooked with horno dried Chicos from Taos, New Mexico. Followed the home-made signs that said "Chicos $8" and finalized the transaction in some guy's living room. They are fantastic.

I think my wife would like those. Here in Atlanta they try to serve those little bitty peppers but those look nice sized.

Hey, Buddy! Poblano is my favorite pepper. Best of the new year to you.

Nothing like a stuffed poblano Mike! Great looking cook.

Those beautiful pics make it seem like the plate is sitting right on my desk.

Chubby

Please...do not feed the beast Rebecca!!!

He is desperately hungry for attention..,(of the female type), and needs professional help!

I'm doing what I can....

Nice to see you around the forum Chubby. I hope you had a blessed holiday season. Tim

Always a pleasure hearing from you, My Dear. Pay no attention to the riff-raff.

.....Chubby, you'd better pick up the pace. Whatever you're doing, it's obviously not working. :unsure:

Hey, stick around for a while stranger.

Lawn Ranger

Tim:

He only sticks his head in to occasionally stir the pot.

eenie meenie

Mike, you must admit, Chubby's hard to ignore. :laugh: :woohoo:

Lawn Ranger

Yep. Called me 3 times while I was in Academy yesterday. And, I promise you never, never want him to call you while you are in the grocery store! And, he just called me and is on the phone as we speak. So much for my lunch hour.

Dried chicos....those the rock like cornamibobs? I got some with the chiles I ordered last year.....sitting in the cabinet getting harder yet :huh:

Lawn Ranger

Throw a handfull in your next pot of beans at the beginning of the cook. Don't soak the beans...just salt pork, garlic, beans and the Chicos. If they are really authentic Chicos, they will give the beans a great smoky flavor. I'm hooked on them. Here's a good article.

Looks good Mike.
Did you pre-cook the pork?

Lawn Ranger

Yep.
