Rajas Con Cerveza (Poblanos and Beer)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup onion, thinly sliced
- 6 poblano chiles
- 1 cup strong dark beer (I use porter)
- 6 ounces medium cheddar, sliced thinly
- salt
- To prepare poblanos: You can either roast them under the broiler or on a grill.
- If under the broiler, place whole washed peppers on a cookie sheet and broil, watching carefully and turning until blackened on all sides.
- Cool in a paper bag and peel under cold running water.
- This should take about 20 minutes (to broil) plus 10 to cool.
- Then, take the peeled peppers and slice into thin, long slices lengthwise.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add sliced onions and salt to taste.
- Continue to cook over medium heat until onions are translucent.
- Once onions are cooked, add peppers to the pan, cover and cook until tender.
- Add beer, turn up heat to high and bring mixture to a boil.
- Boil until the liquid is absorbed by the peppers.
- When liquid is absorbed, lay cheese slices over peppers, cover, and continue to cook until cheese melts.
- Serve with your favorite tortillas (flour/corn), steamed or fried.
- (I like them steamed/heated up in a cloth napkin in the microwave, sprinkled with a little water).
