Over gas burner or under broiler, place poblano pepper and char skin until black all over, rotate as necessary. Place pepper in a bag and close.

Let cool slightly before cutting into 6 whedges. Serve with salsa or guacamole if desired.

Published in Chicago Tribune Magaine 11/14/93. [Another Note: Now that I have typed this into the database, I see that nowhere in this recipe does it tell you when to add the spices — other than the chili powder (which was not listed in the ingredients, originally — I had to go back and insert that) or what to do with the vegetable oil. I assume one might mix the spices in the cooking oil and smear it over the chicken breast before grilling or broiling. Suggestions, of course, will be appreciated. Complaints will be ignored.] Posted in the Cooking echo by Bud Cloyd (in a valiant, yet possibly futile attempt to keep out of trouble with the moderator) From Gemini”s MASSIVE MealMaster collection at www.synapse.com/~gemini
