Preparation
Roast the poblanos
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Halve and core the poblanos lengthwise.
- On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P.
- Arrange, cut-sides down, and roast, flipping halfway, 14 to 16 min., until softened and browned.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, mince the garlic.
- Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and stems.
- Quarter the lime.
- Thinly slice the scallion crosswise.
Start the filling
- In a large pan, heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the garlic and ⅔ of the scallion. Sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the pork*; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
- Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until browned and cooked through.
Finish the filling
- To the pan of pork, add the spinach, demi-glace and 3 tbsp water (double for 4 portions).
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until the spinach has wilted.
Make the vinaigrette & serve
- In a small bowl, combine the juice of 2 lime wedges, 2 tbsp oil (double both for 4 portions), the cilantro and S&P.
- Divide the poblanos between your plates.
- Stuff with the filling.
