How to Make Ingrid Hoffmann's Veggie-Stuffed Poblanos
Poblano peppers are mostly used in Mexican cuisine. They are packed with flavor and are great to stuff with just about everything but the kitchen sink. They do have a hint of spice, just enough of a kick to enhance the flavor.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Preheat the broiler. Line a broiler pan with foil. Lightly spray the foil with nonstick spray. Place the poblanos on the pan and broil, 4 inches from the heat, turning occasionally, until the poblanos are tender and slightly charred in spots, about 8 minutes.
- Place the poblanos in a zip-close plastic bag; squeeze out the air and seal the bag. Let stand 15 minutes. Leave the broiler on.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, carrots, scallions, garlic, and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the basil until well mixed.
- Meanwhile, peal the poblanos. Make one slit to create a pocket and remove the seeds. Stuff each pepper with one-quarter of the mushroom mixture and top with 1 Tbsp of cheese.
- Broil the stuffed peppers, 4 inches from the heat, until the filling is hot and the cheese begins to melt, about 4 minutes.
