Instructions

Char and prep the poblano chilies

  • Set the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Place the poblano peppers on a parchment-lined baking pan. Bake the chilies for 20 to 30 minutes, flipping the chilies half-way to allow charring on all sides.
  • Remove the poblanos from the oven and place them in a Ziploc bag (sealed) for 10 minutes. This will help loosen up the skin.
  • Remove the poblano peppers from the Ziploc and peel off the skins and stem. Halve the poblanos lengthwise and remove the seeds.

Making the cream sauce

  • Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add the oil.
  • Saute the garlic and onion until the onion is slightly translucent.
  • Place the poblanos, garlic, onions, and milk into a blender. Puree the mix until smooth.
  • Clean the oil from the saucepan, then melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and stir until combined.
  • Lower the heat to medium-low and add the poblano mix from the blender. Stir to fully combine with the butter and flour.
  • Add the crema and stir to completely combine. Allow the sauce to thicken for 5 minutes (or until it reaches your desired consistency.)
  • Remove from the sauce from the heat and allow it to cool. Serve.
