Ingredients
4 medium poblano peppers2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil1 jalapeno, chopped2 medium onions, chopped4 cloves garlic, finely chopped12 medium-large tomatillos, peeled, rinsed and quartered2 small handfuls cilantro leaves1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/3 palmful2 teaspoons honey1 quart chicken stock-in-a-boxSalt and freshly ground black pepper1 lime, juiced
Heat the broiler to high. Arrange the poblanos on a sheet pan, put them under the hot broiler and char until blackened an all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Leave the door of the oven cracked to allow the steam to escape. Peppers can also be easily charred over and open stovetop flame if you have gas burners. Put the peppers in a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow the peppers to sit until cool enough to handle. Peel and seed the peppers.
Heat the extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the jalapeno, onions, and garlic and cook until the onions soften, about 5 minutes. Put the tomatillos and a small handful of cilantro in a food processor. Coarsely chop the poblanos and add them to the processor. Process until almost a smooth sauce forms, about 1 minute. Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir to combine. Stir in the cumin, honey and stock, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Reduce the heat and simmer about 20 minutes, then add the lime juice and turn off the heat.
