I go this recipe from . I just had to try it. Turned out better then I expected. Ingredients:
5 poblano chilies (about 1 pound) |
1 teaspoon aniseed |
1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick, broken |
1 tablespoon peanut oil |
3 1/2 cups chopped onion |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
10 cup (2-inch) pieces peeled calabaza squash (about 3 pounds) |
4 cups vegetable broth |
2 cups water |
3 tablespoons honey |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
6 tablespoons crema mexicana |
1/2 cup roasted pumpkin seed kernels |
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Cut poblano chilies in half; discard seeds and membranes. Place the Chile halves, skin sides up, on a foil-lined baking sheet; flatten with hand. Broil 5 minutes or until blackened. Place in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; seal. Let stand 15 minutes. Peel chilies; discard skins. Chop chilies.
3. Place aniseed and cinnamon in a spice or coffee grinder; process until finely ground.
4. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion; saute 5 minutes or until browned. Add garlic; saute 1 minute. Add cinnamon mixture to pan; saute 1 minute. Add chopped chilies, squash, broth, water, honey, and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes or until squash is tender.
5. Drizzle each serving with Crema Mexicana; sprinkle with pumpkin seeds.
