I grow a large variety of hot chili peppers in my garden every year. Poblano peppers are easy to grow and they're mildly spicy. They are delicious roasted, added to soups, stews, egg-vegetable scrambles, and stuffed! Serve these paleo stuffed peppers with my dairy-free avocado crema sauce and an arugula salad.

4 large poblano pepper cut into half lengthwise
