Hi Terry,
That looks wonderful and has gone straight onto my shopping list!
Hey there is a great idea for a thread - FAVOURITE POBLANO RECIPES!
OK here's mine:
Coffee Poplano Sauce which I nicked from
http://fooddownunder.com/cgi-bin/recipe.cgi?r=71310
I have made some notes in how I do it different. I really enjoy this
with game like kangaroo, wallaby and venison. If using for venison, I
also add in 1 heaped tablespoon of homemade quince paste.
Warm & zesty alternative to BBQ sauce!
