A creamy and smoky Roasted Poblano Cream Sauce that is versatile and perfect for enhancing the flavors of your favorite Mexican dishes. This sauce is rich, flavorful, and easy to make, elevating any meal it touches.

Ingredients

Roasted Poblanos:

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 poblano peppers, halved and deseeded
  • 1/2 onion, roughly chopped

Cream Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Roast poblano peppers and onions tossed in olive oil, salt, and pepper for 30 minutes.
  2. Peel Poblanos: Transfer roasted peppers to a bag to steam, then peel away the skins.
  3. Make the Sauce: Prepare a roux with butter and flour, whisk in chicken broth, then blend with roasted peppers, onions, sour cream, garlic, cumin, and salt until smooth.
  4. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper as needed.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the poblanos and onions are roasted skin side up without overlapping.
  • Steaming the peppers after roasting helps in removing the tough skin easily.
  • To avoid lumps, whisk the roux continuously and blend the sauce thoroughly.
  • If the sauce is too thin, simmer longer; if too thick, add a splash of chicken broth.
