Stuffed Poblano Chiles

Contributed by: Melinda

Serves 4

4 fresh poblano chiles
2 stalks celery, finely diced
1 carrot, finely diced (optional)
1 large onion, finely diced
1/4 - 1/3 cup diced red bell pepper
6-12 crimini mushrooms, diced
1 small zucchini, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4-5 leaves napa cabbage, cut in half lengthwise and cut into 1/4 inch strips
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tsp kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
4 deli slices provolone cheese or equivalent other cheese
Olive oil

Wash and dry poblano chilis, leaving intact with stem on
Over a gas flame (or in the oven) char the skin of the poblano completely
When fully blackened, place inside a plastic bag for at least 20 minutes to steam and cool enough to handle
Remove from bag and carefully brush off all the blackened skin
Very carefully, cut a slit down one side of the chile and open it up
Using a paring knfe, very carefully cut out the seeds and remove them and any membranes
Place into an oiled baking dish side by side in a single layer, cut side up
Preheat oven to 375º
Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet
When hot, sauté carrot, onion, celery and red pepper with 1/2 tsp salt and black pepper until lightly browned
Add mushrooms, zucchini with 1/2 tsp salt and cook until tender
Add garlic and cabbage -- cook about 2 minutes until cabbage is wilted and cooked
Turn off heat and add cilantro -- allow to cool slightly
Gently open a chile and stuff with 1/4 of the filling mixture; repeat with remaining chiles and stuffing
Place one slice (or 1/4) of the cheese over the top of the chili, covering the opening
Place in oven and bake for 15-25 minutes until cheese is melted

Variations:
1. Replace part of the stuffing with ground or minced meat
2. Omit cheese for a dairy free vegan version
Goes very well with salad of greens
