Description
If youâre looking for the Chile Relleno pepper, youâve found it. Except it goes by the name of Poblano. Prolific plants put out muchos 4"-8" thick-skinned, tapered fruits that start out a deep dark green with mild heat and earthy flavor. Thatâs when this pepper (chile) is most often roasted, peeled, and stuffed full (relleno) of meat and cheese. Let it ripen on the vine and the color changes to a deep dark brownish-red thatâs much spicier. Or dry it, and youâll have an Ancho pepper to flake or powder. This one will keep your oven busy all summer long.
