Gard, We don't really use poblanos for chile sauce or rellenos - that seems to be a Northern NM and CA thing. Here's we use the Anaheims, Barker and Sandia chiles! Chile sauce with the skins left in it tends to be a marker of quality here, especially in restaurants - chile skin = low quality.

I always roast my poblanos to make posole or green-chile stew. The tamale makers I know just toast, boil and grind the dried chiles; I'm glad to know this bothers others also. I don't think we get enuf heat here to turn the poblanos red. > > My signature does rather fit in with the subject. > > cheers, > > Gard > > The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names. --Chinese proverb-- >
