*To roast and skin poblano peppers: Preheat oven broiler on high. Place poblano peppers on a baking pan and place in oven 2 inches from broiler element 10 minutes until the skin of the peppers blackens. Turn the peppers and broil another 10 minutes until the other side is blackened. Remove from oven and place on a plate. Invert another plate over the pepper. Let cool. When cool, peel off skin and rinse under cold water to remove all burnt pieces.
