Stuffed Poblanos

Poblanos are those extra dark long green peppers, they are considered a mild chili pepper often served stuffed with cheese.  Here I stuff them with beans and butternut squash, making them vegan and parve for an anytime meal or side.

This recipe is available free to everyone brought to you by Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil as a taste of our Fresh Families Meal plan.

If you don’t feel like baking, just serve a nice fruit salad with these peppers.
