What's your favorite way to eat Hatch chiles?
Daaaaang… these look SO good!! I'm starving now
I am now on the Hatch chile hunt! Love all of these tips!
Pueblo chiles (Pueblo, CO) are amazing as well. One of my favorite things to do with a fire roasted chile is to put it on a nice, thick cheeseburger. Also great matchsticked up in penne alfredo with either spicy sausage or blackened chicken. Or both. Or blackened salmon.
Delicious
Awesome. Hope the hatch chiles in my garden produce a lot so I can roast them like this!
I've never tried a hatch chili but now I need to go on the hunt and see if i can find them 😮😮😮 thanks for the great video 😊😊
Very informative. I had no idea they could be frozen.
Hatch Chiles are good any way you have them except in a Jones soda.lol. seriously the smokiness of the hatch did not taste good in that soda
Can you do them in a Treager smoker?
Thanks
Grill a NY strip or ribeye so it is ALMOST cooked to your liking. Cover it with finely chopped green chile, top with sharp cheddar cheese. Turn the grill off. Allow it to rest on the grill until the cheese is melted. Enjoy!
if you are going to freeze them, DON'T peel them. Let them cool and then bag them and put the bag on a flat surface in the freezer. When you want to eat the chilies remove what you want from the bag and run a little warm water over the chile. The skin almost instantly separate from the chile and easily pull off. This is much easier than trying to peel them right after roasting and it make removing from the freezer bags much simpler as you don't have to defrost a large bag to get a few chilies out.
Just got my batch today, don't have a pit at the moment. My preferred method is the air fryer. You don't have to turn them as much or at all.
I eat them raw, just hold them like a popsicle and eat. No sense cooking away all the flavor.
I need help, ive tried so many ways,and end up burying them in my garden, please help
Do the Hatch grow tip up like the Pueblo?
Can you roast in oven without broiler
You don’t like the smell of roasted chilis then you are on the wrong Channel.
Word to the Wise: Those Red Chile's continually shown on this video have TERRIBLE flavor. Nothing like Green Chile's.
YOU SHOULD NOT STEAM THEM!
Thanks for this video and reminder Chile season is coming! Crazy thing…have lived in Phoenix area going on 12 years. Living in the city, not a hint of a green chili, couldn't find any so I would drive over to Hatch for their Chili Fest over Labor Day and stock up much as I could carry back home in couple coolers. Well, 6-ish months ago moved out to Buckeye — late July into September they do Green Chili Roasting at the Fry's down the way from the house!! –Much improved world getting out of the city. Thanks again, can't wait for Green Chilis!!!
Clear concise information, thank you.
Has anyone tried roasting with a propane cooking torch?
Do you ever season them?
When you think you've purchased enough, GET YOU SOME MORE! New Mexicans wait all year for this time of year, when you learn to cook with them, you'll see why.😊❤
This video was VERY helpful!
However. the chilis I had were very thin so the chili "meat" basically melted away in the areas of the chilis were exceptionally scorched. Clearly
when grilling my chilis I over did it. So warning to other newbies, make sure not to over – brown your chilis and place them on the "cool" side of the grill sooner.
They are our food staple!!! Your methods of roasting is right on😉
Just got back to Tucson after an afternoon in Hatch. I brought a 40lb burlap bag today. Red ripe ones now, great for enchilada sauce. Juevos rancheros. Big Jim is mild. Lumbra, Matador and Miss Junie are hot green ones–delicious! I like Sandia chiles for red chile sauce. Medium hot. I can my chiles, salsas and sauces. I would have a freezer full of nothing but chile if I didn't can them. Just as delicious and keep well. Easier to use since they aren't frozen. The steaming step is easy just putting a plate on the bowl. That is plenty sealed I do MUCH larger batches, but you're doing the process fine. People should know the real heat is not the meat, or the seeds, but the veins that attach the seeds. Don't remove the veins if you want to preserve all the flavor/heat. I brought full bags of Matador and Miss Junie, and a smaller bag of Lumbra and a full bag of red Sandia. . Almost 150 lbs of chiles to prep, eat and share with friends. Yum.
I want to add one thing… I vacuum seal my roasted chilis. They will last years in the freezer, and come out fresh as a daisy.
Pork Green smothered on everything ..
How long can they be stored in the freezer????
Texan here. I appreciate our state being next door to New Mexico. We have Hatch chiles in our neighborhood HEB grocery stores right now! I will stock up on the chiles, freeze them to make green hatch chile stew in the winter. YUM!
