Cooking Instructions
- 1
Roast the Poblanos
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is blistered and charred. Remove from the oven, cover them with a kitchen towel, and let them steam for about 10 minutes. Once cooled, peel the skin off, remove the seeds, and chop the peppers.

Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent. Add the rice and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour in the vegetable broth, add salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low, cooking for about 15-18 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

Combine Ingredients
Once the rice is cooked, stir in the corn kernels, chopped roasted poblano peppers, and heavy cream. Mix well until everything is combined and heated through. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
