Hi Jan, The dried Poblano chile is the Ancho, and it really is a different ingredient. Once you char, steam and peel the Poblanos you will realize it was not so complicated! Give it a try!

Pati, I want to try your Chicken a la Trash recipe. Can I use a dried Poblano Chili instead of charring etc myself (to speed things up). And IF so, how many would you recommend to replace the fresh ones in this recipe. Thanks, Jan

Thank you for offer! Do you know what I love a recipe for? Pozole. A very gracious lady made pozole for us when we were in Mexico and we loved it. I’ve looked online and found so many recipes it’s hard to know which to choose. I’d trust any recipe I got from you Pati. Thanks.

Hi Bonnie, Thank you very much for writing to me!! I’m so happy you and your husband enjoyed the Pollo a la Basura! Please let me know if there is ever anything you discover on your trips to Mexico that you can’t find a recipe for.

I’ve been to Northern Mexico a few times on mission trips and always love it! When I got home this year I discovered your program and my husband and I have been watching since. Tonight I made my first of your recipes – Pollo a la Basura – and we really liked the great combination of flavors. I see how flexible the recipe could be with whatever chicken you have on hand, a few basic ingredients, and room to improvise. Also I charred my first poblano peppers tonight. It worked just like you showed. Thanks for the great recipe!

Hola Larry, Of course, you can substitute dates! It is also good with raisins, dried cranberries, or candied pineapple!
