1 medium Onion
3 tablespoons of Hemp Seed Crema

Directions

Directions for Broiling your Anaheims:
Pre-heat your broiler. Set it to Hi (400-450 degrees). Place the chiles under the broiler and roast until the skin of the peppers char and blister but don't completely blacken them.
It takes about 5 min.
 
Pull out your peppers. Flip them and roast for another 5 min. Keep a close eye on them, you don't want them to completely blacken.

Put your roasted chiles into a plastic bag and let them sweat for 15 min.
Sweating your chiles will loosen the skin.

Peel your chiles. Cut the stem off the peppers and de-seed them. 

Directions for the crema:
Make your crema by putting all the ingredients into a blender and pulse til creamy smooth. 


Directions for the Rajas Con Crema:
Slice your onion. 

Cut the peppers into strips.

Saute your onions til they soften up. You can use oil, water or broth to saute. 

Add the peppers and mix them together. 
​
Add the crema.
I used 3 tablespoons but you could add more or less depending on how creamy you like them.

Stir well. Salt to taste.
