Notes:

  1. Flipping a bowl over the roasted peppers steams them without using plastic wrap. If you do not have a bowl large enough to cover the peppers, you can place the peppers in a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap to steam. 
  2. To roast over an open flame:
    1. Wash and dry the poblano peppers. Make sure the peppers are firm and free of bruises and soft spots.
    2. Turn the heat on a gas stovetop to high. Using a pair of metal tongs, place the poblano peppers directly over the flame. 
    3. Flip the peppers occasionally until the entire pepper is blackened and blistered. 
    4. Place the blackened peppers on a cutting board and cover it with a bowl. Let it steam and soften for about 5-7 minutes.
    5. Remove the bowl and rub off the blackened skin. Remove the stem, cut along the side and discard the seeds. 
    6. Use as desired. Enjoy!
