Was that enough to convince you that Poblanos need to be in your kitchen?!
I hope so, they are a gamechanger and we'll be using them in some additional recipes throughout the Course.
There's one other ingredient that came up during this Module that I want to briefly discuss -- Crema!
Mexican Crema is a common Mexican garnish and you'll find it in Latin markets and sometimes even in the chain grocery stores. Heavy cream is cultured with buttermilk and given a hint of citrus from some lime -- the result is a scrumptious dose of creaminess that works well as a final garnish in a number of Mexican dishes.
You can always substitute a bit of heavy cream for the Mexican Crema, or even sour cream, but if you find yourself craving it then it's worth sourcing out some Mexican Crema in your neighborhood. I use it all the time and I am an official convert.
As promised, here's the Poblanos Quiz to reinforce everything you've learned in this Module. Good luck!
