Ingredients

3 poblano peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed

2 cloves garlic
1 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source; preheat the broiler.

3 Cook peppers under the broiler until blistered and scorched, about 10 minutes.
4 Transfer peppers to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap until peppers are cool enough to handle. Remove skin from peppers.
