Stuffed Poblanos

Try this unique side dish the next time you are serving Mexican food. 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.

Make sure to use a great quality extra virgin olive oil. We love Colavita!
