- Place in a covered bowl or bag and let steep and cool for 8–10 minutes.
- Using your hands, gently, remove blistered skins from the peppers.
- Slice up the poblanos into 1-inch bites, removing the seeds and ribs as desired.
- Place juicy pepper bites on a serving platter and drizzle with olive oil, cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper and serve with warm slices of bread or crostini.
Serves 4 as an appetizer. Prep time, 2 minutes; cook time, up to 20 minutes.
Cook’s note: Poblanos can be spicy or mild in flavor. This appetizer is for those who don’t mind a possible surprise of pepper heat in their dishes.
