Stuffed and Grilled Poblano Peppers

Stuffed Poblanos before Grilling

  It has been so long since I have been able to post anything and I have really missed it.  I actually have still been cooking and taking pics but have had alot going on and could not post anything.  I hope to be back on my usual schedule before too long.  My sister and I were alone yesterday on Father's Day so we decided to cook something on the grill.  She made some amazing steaks - they really hit the spot.  I made a Semizotu or Purslane Salad (recipe coming soon), these stuffed peppers, and some hummus!  It was so delicious!  I have to apologize about not having an after picture of the peppers.  They were looking and smelling so yummy that I realized halfway through mine that I failed to take a picture.  Sorry!  Anyway, try them out for yourself they are really delicious.  I was thinking of a way to balance some of the heat of the pepper jack cheese and the little bit of heat from the poblano peppers.  The avocado and lime juice really worked well.  We will definitely be making these again when we grill.  Hope you enjoy!
