Grits

Poblano Pepper Mixture

Method

Prepare Grits

  1. 1

    Cook the Grits

    In a medium pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Slowly whisk in the corn grits, reducing the heat to low. Stir constantly for about 5 minutes until thickened.

  2. 2

    Add Flavors

    Stir in the unsalted butter, salt, and black pepper. If desired, mix in shredded cheese until melted and well incorporated. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Prepare Poblano Mixture

  1. 3

    Roast the Poblano Peppers

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until the skin is blistered and charred, turning occasionally.

  2. 4

    Sauté Onion and Garlic

    While the peppers are roasting, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the peppers are roasted, remove them from the oven and let cool slightly. Peel off the charred skin, remove the seeds, and chop the peppers. Add the chopped peppers to the skillet with the sautéed onion and garlic. Stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Serve

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the creamy grits in bowls topped with the roasted poblano mixture. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
