Photo: Poblano Pesto Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 poblano peppers
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- Kosher salt
Directions
Char the poblano peppers on top of a gas burner, on a grill, or under the broiler) until all of the sides are blackened. Place in a bowl covered tightly with plastic wrap, allowing the steam to help loosen the skin. With your fingers or a spoon, scrape and discard the blackened skin then remove the seeds and core. Coarsely chop the poblanos, and place into a mini food processor. Add the Parmesan, cilantro, garlic, chili powder and oil and process until well combined, but not totally smooth. Taste and season with salt.

I thought it was good...but not a good sauce for steak. I had a hard time eating my steak with a sauce made up of parmesan cheese. The other flavors were great but I didn't get to appreciate them very much because the cheese flavor got in the way. If cheese on steak is your thing then you will love this. For me, I'd rather use my leftover sauce in spaghetti, it seems to just be a better fit.
