Hey Mambo, Mambo Ital-Poblano?

     A few weeks ago, when I had a plethora of jalapeno peppers, I was taking suggestions.  One was to stuff them.  Um, too much work for something so small!  However, I do like a good stuffed chili pepper.  Back in July, I went to Pensacola with Matt & some friends to go sailing.  We took the concierge restaurant suggestion... The Fish House.  (A few days ago, I noticed it was mentioned in Wine Spectator for their not-so-expensive yet impressive wine collection... mine was tasty!)  Anywhoo, I ordered the seafood stuffed relleno... and was pleasantly surprised initially.  Then I realized that, overpowering my crab, shrimp, and crawfish, was a boatload of corn.  Really?  Way to yucky it up.  I'm all about corn, but not an entire cob of it in that kind of a dish.  I told the waiter it was delicious, but could use less (or no) corn.  He seemed to brush me off... (Gosh?  Doesn't he know who I am?  My 6 followers do!)
     Anyway, a few weeks later I ate at a Mexican Restaurant nearby... Juan Tequilas.  Love the place.  Good food, beachfront, & a 25% military discount... and karaoke Thursday nights (and by nights I mean WHILE you eat your dinner...)  One thing I did not love was their stuffed relleno.  I found myself peeling off a soggy omelettey batter.  I decided it was time to take matters into my own hands... even if I didn't have a recipe.  (not a big recipe fan, if you've realized I have never posted one, it's because I don't use them often... how I describe it is kind of what I do...)

     I got some poblano peppers, some crab claw meat, and shrimp.  Sauteed the shrimp, threw it in with the crab claw meat, an egg, and hmmmm.  Binding.  Ah!  I had some leftover organic polenta in the fridge.  I tossed it into the food processor to make it into crumbles, and added it to the mix.  Spiced it up a little, and  stuffed me some poblanos.  Popped 'em in the oven...

     I made a spicy cheesy sauce topping with some added queso and some anaheim peppers, and roasted some tomatoes to add to the plate.  It really was as awesome as it looked.
