Preparation
Mise en place
- Halve, core and medium-dice the poblano.
- Pick ½ the cilantro leaves off the stems; roughly chop the remaining leaves and stems.
- Place the skewers in a shallow bowl; cover with water.
Prepare & cook the skewers
- Crumble the patties.
- In a large bowl, combine the crumbled patties, chopped cilantro, peanuts, smoked paprika, ½ the ginger-garlic purée and S&P. Form into 4 long oval-shaped pieces (double for 4 portions).

- Set aside in the fridge for 5 min. before cooking.
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the skewers and cook, 2 to 4 min. per side, until browned.
Cook the rice
- In a large pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the poblano and sauté, 3 to 4 min., until partially cooked.
- Add the corn and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until softened; season with S&P.
- Add the tomato paste and remaining ginger-garlic purée. Sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until dark red and fragrant.
- Add the rice, demi-glace and ¼ cup water (double for 4 portions); bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 2 to 3 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Fluff the rice.
