Stuffed Poblanos With Roasted Corn
- 6 small poblano chiles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Kosher salt
- 4 ears corn, shucked
- 1 large bunch scallions, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup crema or creme fraeche
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Grated zest of 1/2 lime, plus the juice of 1 lime
- 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Put the poblanos on a baking sheet and toss with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon cumin and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Roast until they begin to brown and soften, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the corn on another baking sheet, brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin.
- Roast until slightly golden, 15 minutes; turn, add the scallions and roast 15 more minutes.
- Let cool.
- Cut a 2-inch slit lengthwise into each pepper, remove the seeds and open the peppers slightly.
- (Peel the skin, if desired.)
- Remove the corn kernels from the cob; add to a bowl along with the scallions, then scrape in the milk from the cobs using the back of a knife.
- Stir in the crema, cilantro, and the lime zest and juice.
- Season with salt.
- Spoon the corn mixture into the peppers.
- Sprinkle the filling with cotija cheese.
- Return the peppers to the oven and bake until the cheese is slightly golden, about 8 minutes.
