I bought a huge bag of poblano peppers from the farmer's market for $8. This peppers is for me to make spicy sambal. I can pack it in a smaller container and store it in the freezer. I don't need to buy sambal olek that much anymore.
I can use this sambal as a base in my cooking.
"Poblano" is also the name of an inhabitant of Puebla, Mexico.

I will blend some of this mild peppers and cook it with garlic, ginger, onion, lemongrass, and dried shrimp or dried anchovies.

Poblano is also great as stuffed peppers or cook in stir fry. This pepper is not hot at all but not sweet either.
