Poblano Chile Salsa
Poblano chiles are usually mild to slightly hot, but occasionally they pack a real bite, so wear protective gloves when peeling and chopping them. This versatile sauce can be served hot or cool with just about anything. I like it spooned over grilled chicken or steak or even mixed with green salads.
