Black Bean, Butternut Squash & Millet Stuffed Poblano Peppers with Ancho-Guajillo Chile Sauce #SundaySupper

The first thing I scan the menu for when at a Mexican food restaurant is always Chile Rellenos.  Swoon. More often than not unfortunately, they fail to impress. Greasy cheese, deep fried in batter and usually lacking in the stuffings department which is the best part! Making them myself however seemed such a chore. Up until now.

Simply stuffed chile rellenos aka poblano peppers. Be still my heart.

I’m the first to say that home made sauces are head over heals better than the jarred variety. However, I’m also the first to admit that I don’t always have the energy to make sauces from scratch….. or clean up the mess. If you can find a good quality jarred  (preferably not canned) Ancho Chile sauce no one will be the wiser.

Secret ingredient and show stopper? Creamy, crumbled sweet and tangy goat cheese that slowly melts into a thick creme in the hot chile sauce. Goat cheese perfectly compliments the butternut squash in these peppers.

Poblano peppers are very mild on the heat radar as are Ancho peppers which have a mouth watering smokey taste when roasted, Guajillo peppers which have just a bit of heat to them give this dish the authentic finishing touch. The butternut squash and corn give these a touch of natural sweetness. Black beans, mushrooms and whole grain Millet make this a very filling dish even meat eaters will love.
