Pork Stuffed Poblanos With Walnut Cream Sauce

Directions

1. Broil chile peppers on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet 5 inches from heat about 5 min on each side or possibly till peppers look blistered.
2. Place chile peppers in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; seal and let stand 10 min to loosen skins. Peel peppers. Gently split chile peppers open lengthwise, keeping stems intact; remove and throw away seeds. Set aside.
3. Cook pork in warm oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat till it crumbles and is no longer pink. Add in minced onion and next 4 ingredients; cook, stirring often, 7 min or possibly till onion is tender.
4. Stir in tomato and next 4 ingredients. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 5 min. Stir in 1 tsp. salt.
5. Stir together tomato sauce and next 3 ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat 5 min.
6. Spoon about 1/2 c. pork mix into each pepper, and place in a lightly greased 13- by 9-inch baking dish. Pour tomato sauce mix over peppers.
7. Bake, covered, at 350 degrees for 30 min. Top with Walnut Cream Sauce. Garnish, if you like, and serve over a cinnamon rice pilaf.
8. This recipe yields 8 servings.
9. Comments: Small green bell peppers may be substituted for poblanos. (Don't roast.) Proceed as directed. Bake 45 min or possibly till peppers are tender.
