Rajas con Crema

ingredients

  • 4ish poblanos
  • 1-2 serranos (optional)
  • 2-3 tbsp butter
  • 1 very large onion, 1/2 medium onion
  • 1 shallot
  • garlic (the amount is between u and god)
  • 1ish cups mexican crema (can sub 1:1 crème fraîshe + heavy cream or milk)
  • chihuahua cheese or oaxaca cheese, or a blend!
  • nutmeg (optional)
  • salt to taste

notes

while oaxaca cheese has the better flavor profile, it can melt weirdly - if you cannot eat it immediately after cooking, chihuahua cheese will last a bit better

directions

turn on oven.

throw the poblanos in the oven.

cut up shallot, onion into strips - cook with some butter.

take out poblanos and sweat them - peel, de-seed and cut into strips.

cut the garlic into thin strips or smush.

add poblanos to the pan with the onions, add garlic, crema after a few minutes and cook until fragrant.

add cheese, stir until melted.

if you added oaxaca cheese, eat immediately.

enjoy!!
