Ingredients
- 4 large poblano peppers
- 2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped chipotle chile in adobo
- 1 garlic clove
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped, plus more for garnish
- 1/3 cup quinoa
- 8 ounces small mushrooms, such as white button or cremini, trimmed and quartered
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1 can (15 ounces) black soy beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup crumbled fresh goat cheese (4 ounces)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, rub peppers with 2 teaspoons oil. Roast until slightly blackened and softened, 15 to 20 minutes, turning once. When cool enough to handle, remove skins. Make a small slit in each pepper and carefully remove seeds, keeping stem end intact.
- In a blender, combine chipotle, garlic, and 3/4 cup water; season with salt and pepper and blend until smooth. Add cilantro and pulse once to combine.
- In a small saucepan, bring 2/3 cup water to a boil. Add quinoa, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes; fluff with a fork.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add mushrooms; season with salt and pepper. Cook until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes; add corn and beans and cook until heated, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese and quinoa.
- Pour sauce in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Stuff peppers with filling and arrange in dish; dot with 1/2 cup cheese. Bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes.
Love this recipe and make it all the time. Only change I make is to use black beans, rather than black soy beans.

These are so good! I served them at a dinner party and my guests were very impressed. I added just a little more quinoa and corn and had enough stuffing to fill a couple more peppers. Poblano peppers are so great because they are more warm than spicy; my less adventurous guests didn't have to worry about breathing fire.
