minutesWhen any recipe calls for either poblano or tomatillos, I ALWAYS roast them to caramelize, tenderize and create better flavor. In this case. I place them on an old baking sheet and turn my oven to Convection Roast at 450. Once oven is HOT, I place these in and somewhere between 8-12 minutes you want to get these black and charred on all sides. Once that is accomplished I place them in a metal or glass bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap for 10 minutes. The skin will pucker and you can peel the puckered skin away! What’s left is the beautiful soft vegetable with now a great flavor. These are spectacular in any dish but you must always cook them this way if you want the dish to have incredible flavor.
