Ingredient Information

Poblano Chilis

These are peppers that range from very dark green to almost black. They are mildly spicy, with a heat index of mild to medium. The darker chilies have a more intense flavor. When the chili has been seeded but left whole, it is called a capon and is ready for stuffing.

As the pepper matures, it turns a reddish brown. Dried poblanos are known as Ancho chilies.
