Wendy,

Did you end up trying the Olivette's Poblano Dip that you posted on the Thanksgiving Appetizers thread?

For anyone who didn't see it and might be interested - here's the recipe:

Olivette's Poblano Dip
3 poblano peppers
1/2 yellow onion
3 cloves garlic -- skin on
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 ounces cream cheese -- softened
2 ounces Monterey jack cheese
3/4 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons milk
juice of 1/2 lime
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Preheat oven to 475 degrees.



Place poblanos, onion, and garlic on a baking sheet. Lightly coat with oil. Roast 5 minutes; check garlic. Remove garlic when it becomes soft, roasting more if necessary. Remove poblano when charred and wrinkled, about 13 more minutes. Place in a plastic bag to steam. When onion is soft and golden, remove and cool.

Let poblano stand 10 minutes. Remove skins, stems and seeds. Peel garlic. Remove outer layer of onion if it is dark. When vegetables have cooled, combine them in the work bowl of a food processor fitted with steel blade. Add remaining ingredients and puree until smooth. Correct seasonings; tranfer to serving bowl. Cover and chill. Serve with tortilla chips or vegetables.

Bumping this up.

Wendy, I'd like to know if you made it and what you thought about it.

I did make it for Thanksgiving appetizer and it went over very well. I would make it a day ahead so the flavors would blend. It was a hit! I served it with corn chips.

Very good! Thanks for helping to clear those poblanos out of my veggie bin on Saturday. :) I hadn't seen the recipe when it was initially posted.

I liked it a lot, though I might reduce the cilantro next time as I thought it was the strongest flavor, also might kick up the roasted garlic. I agree that an overnight stand improves it, but not sure if I'd do it again; it's a bit more work than I care to do for what's essentially a snack food.
