Ingredients
  

  • 4 poblano peppers
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced or pressed
  • ½ onion small, chopped
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ – ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ – ¾ cup sour cream reduced fat

Instructions
 

  • Start by roasting the poblanos. I like to put the peppers directly over the flame of the gas burners, rotating the peppers until all of the skin is charred. Then I place the peppers in a covered bowl for 15 minutes. This lets the peppers sweat off the skin a bit, and gives them time to cool. After 15 minutes peel off the skin, and loosely chop the peppers. I recommend discarding the seeds, unless you want an extremely spicy sauce.
  • Next, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Then add the garlic and onions. Cook until the onions are translucent. Then add the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a boil, add the poblanos, and let boil and reduce for 6 minutes.
  • Pour the poblano mixture into a blender and liquefy. Season with salt, pepper, and cumin, and add 1/2 cup sour cream. Blend to combine. Add more sour cream and salt to taste.
  • If you follow this recipe exactly, the sauce with has a medium spice level. It’s about a 6 out of 10. It is really easy to customize the spice level.
  • To make the sauce spicier add an extra poblano pepper and reduce the amount of sour cream. To make the sauce milder, add more sour cream and/or use three peppers instead of four.
