What is a Poblano Pepper"
A poblano pepper is a fairly mild chili pepper which originates from Pueblo, Mexico. They are traditionally prepared as chile rellenos. The peppers are charred and peeled, filled with cheese, dipped in an egg batter, fried, and served with a tomato sauce. The dried form of the poblano, the Ancho chile, is used in the preparation of red sauces like mole. 
Poblano peppers are fantastic for a low carb lifestyle. Not only do they have a ton of flavor, but one average sized pepper only has 6 grams of total carbohydrates. Plus they have many uses in the kitchen.
