Hearts of Romaine with Roasted Peppers and Cabrales Dressing Recipe

  • 2 fresh poblano chiles
  • 2 red bell peppers
  • 3 ounces Cabrales or other blue cheese, grated
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 hearts of romaine, separated into leaves
  1. Lay chiles and bell peppers on their sides on racks of gas burners and turn flame on high. (Or broil on rack of a broiler pan about 2 inches from heat.) Roast, turning with tongs, until skins are blackened, 5 to 8 minutes.
  2. Transfer to a bowl, then cover and let steam 10 minutes. Peel, seed, and cut into thin strips.
  3. Whisk together dressing ingredients in a large bowl.
  4. Dip each romaine leaf in dressing to coat, shaking off excess, and arrange on a platter. Toss pepper strips in remaining dressing and scatter over romaine.
