Roasted Cubanelles and Poblanos
6-8 Cubanelle and Pobano peppers
Salt and pepper, to taste
drizzle of olive oil
Throw peppers on a hot grill and close the lid. Keep an eye on them as they start to char, keep turning them so that the entire pepper cooks evenly. If you do not have access to a grill, place peppers on rack in 450 degree oven. Make sure to place a large piece of aluminum foil on rack below peppers to catch any juices that may come out of peppers while cooking.
Once they are almost entirely black (it's okay, really), place them in a glass bowl and seal them with a lid or plastic wrap. If you've ever made roasted red peppers, you will know what to do. Let them sit in a sealed glass bowl for about 20 minutes or until the charred skin starts to peel off easily. Once the charred skin has been peeled and the seeds and stems have been taken out, shred the peppers into little strips and place in bowl. Season with salt and pepper and a couple of drops of olive oil if you desire.
