Poblanos Rellenos con Papas y Aguacate

What a wonderful dish this is, full of unexpected flavors and textures. Roasted poblano chiles are stuffed with mashed potatoes and avocados, then marinated in a sweet-and-sour mixture seasoned with roasted garlic.

Wine Notes

Since this dish is sauced with an escabèche (a sweet, spiced vinaigrette), one of the best matches is a German Riesling from the Mosel, such as Carl-Schmitt's Kabinett Riesling.
