🫑Fresh peppers are flourishing this summer in the NRV! Looking for a pepper that can really hold up in a stew or casserole? Grab some poblanos! These hearty, mild-to-medium spicy peppers are ideal for broiling, frying, or simmering up in a stew.

The rajas poblanas con crema recipe below is the signature dish of the state of Puebla, Mexico. This dish is typically served with tortillas, but its stew-like consistency means it’s also super-tasty over rice.

This complex recipe may sound challenging at first, but the payoff is worth it!

Rajas Poblanas con crema
Ingredients (serves four as an entrée)
6 medium poblanos
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 tablespoons butter, separated
2 ears of corn
1 large onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 large Ziploc bag
1 cup crema Mexicana
½ cup Cotija cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh corn tortillas (optional)
Rice (optional)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 425.
2. Rub corn cobs with butter, then wrap in aluminum foil and roast for 20 minutes.
3. Wash the poblanos, then rub them whole with vegetable oil.
4. After 20 minutes, remove corn from oven and set oven to broil. Place poblanos on a baking sheet and slide under the broiler for 4-5 minutes, turning over halfway through.
5. When poblanos are slightly blistered, brown, and fragrant, remove baking sheet from oven and use tongs to lift and deposit poblanos into Ziploc bag, one by one.
6. Allow poblanos to “sweat” in the bag for 10 minutes.
7. Add two tablespoons of butter to a large skillet on medium heat. Add onions and allow to cook for ~5 minutes, or until translucent.
8. Slice corn from cobs and add with garlic to skillet. Cook for another 3 minutes.
9. Remove a poblano from Ziploc. On a cutting board, use fingers or a butter knife to peel away most of the skins. Cut off stem and scoop out and discard seeds.
10. Repeat for each poblano.
11. Slice de-skinned poblanos into thin strips, then add to skillet with onion mixture. Cook on low heat for ~5 minutes.
12. After ~5 minutes, add dairy ingredients and stir together. Add salt and pepper to taste, then allow to simmer uncovered for ~3 minutes.
13. Serve with tortillas or over rice.

Had a great time yesterday at Crow's Nest Greenhouses first tomato contest. We were so honored to be asked to join the judge panel that I wore my pickle costume. I was also happy to see Tomato Cat serving it up and doing the tomato-themed raffle basket!

Hi there! I want to invite you to this free movie BALANCE we're bringing to the Lyric on Sept 19, all about...drum roll.....💕💪🏽Perimenopause!💋
It's free because we got together with our small biz friends around Blacksburg who are women-powered, and we want to bring it to you because, well, perimenopause may be a new word (world?) to you, like it was for me until just recently. This is women in & around Blacksburg supporting other women right here.
I hope you can come!

Curious about using SNAP and Virginia Fresh Match at our farm stand? Don't worry; it's easy! 😌

Virginia Fresh Match is a unique program that doubles federal SNAP benefits while supporting the local economy and agriculture here in Virginia. When a SNAP beneficent picks up fresh veggies, herbs, or mushrooms during our full-service farm stand hours (Tuesdays and Fridays, from 9am-5:30pm and Saturdays from 10am-3pm), they'll be able to double those funds (or, in other words, get those veggies for 50% off 🥦🍅🥕😎).

🌈Remember those beautiful rainbows last Tuesday morning? Charlie swore he found the end of the rainbow right here in the carrot field. I couldn't argue with him. That's him in yellow, jogging up the hill.
