The Chile poblano is pronounced: poh-blah-noh. Poblano peppers are mild, heart-shaped peppers that are large and have very thick walls, which make them great for stuffing. Fresh Poblano peppers are ideal for Chiles rellenos and are often only used for that dish. Poblanos are usually roasted and peeled before use. When dried, these are called ancho or mulato chiles and then used for many other applications. Chiles Poblanos frescos for Chiles Rellenos and Chiles en Nogada. Pasilla Fresco. Fresh Pasilla.
