    CHEF'S NOTE: If you wish to remove the skins from the poblano peppers, use the following method: Grill on a hot grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until skin is blistered; place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. After peppers steam for 5 to 10 minutes, rub off the charred skins and discard the seeds and stems.
