Ingredients
- 3 fresh poblano peppers
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 cup of corn (frozen or fresh)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon of paprika (optional)
- 1 cup of shredded cheese (like Oaxaca or mozzarella)
- Cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Start by roasting the poblano peppers. You can either grill them or put them directly on an open flame until the skin is charred and blistered. Once roasted, place them in a plastic bag for about 10 minutes to steam – this makes peeling them so much easier!
- Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the skin, remove the seeds, and slice them into strips.
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they’re translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute. You don’t want to burn the garlic – just let it get nice and aromatic.
- Next, toss in the poblano strips and corn, mixing everything together. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika if you want to add some extra flavor!
- Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer for around 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. If you want it a bit thicker, feel free to cook it a little longer.
- Finally, stir in the shredded cheese until it’s melted and creamy. Don’t forget to taste and adjust the seasoning if needed!
- Serve your Rajas Cremosas warm, garnished with fresh cilantro. Enjoy this dish on its own or use it as a dipping sauce for your favorite chips!
