Ingredients

• 2 whole Poblano peppers
• 1 cup Fresh cilantro
• 2 whole Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons Water (if needed)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Place the whole poblano peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.

Step 3

Roast the peppers in the oven for 10-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the skin is charred and blistered.

Step 4

Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a plate to allow the peppers to steam for 10 minutes. This will make the skins easier to remove.

Step 5

Peel off the charred skin from the poblano peppers and discard the stems and seeds. Set the roasted peppers aside.

Step 6

In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted poblano peppers, fresh cilantro, garlic cloves, lime juice, sour cream, olive oil, salt, and ground cumin.

Step 7

Blend until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice, if needed.

Step 9

Transfer the sauce to a bowl or airtight container. It can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
