Bought and split a bushel of roasted Hot Hatch Green Chiles today... set for a year with what I had leftover...

Had to google it. Looks like self abuse, to me. I thought green chiles were supposed to be milder. I gather not.

Dfergie,

Do you know of any local grower in your area that will freeze and ship them without charging an arm and a leg? Those are my favorite chiles and I can only get them when my friend visits family in NM.

navy, if they are too hot you just reduce the amount you use in your food... :) Don't know on that Sky, I got mine from a local grocer and paid $19.98 for the bushel roasted (same price at Wally World) I see advertisements on the "local"channels from Albuquerque for the same price plus $5 to roast them...:rolleyes:

Nice.

Mixed 3 with a roast and made Burritos... they are just right... ;)

Let me know if you find anything. I wouldn't mind ordering some too.

I'll check around and see if I can help y'all. :)

There's a few websites that sell them, but they're pretty pricey...Here's one:

- newmexicanconnection.com | SHOP ONLINE (http://www.newmexicanconnection.com/catalog/)

$80 for 10 lbs......I realize they have to package them and keep them cold en route, but that still seems a little high to me.

I've got a whole bag of assorted peppers at home. The neighbor brought them over from his garden. I'll take a picture of them when I get home and maybe some of your Pepper Afficianado's can help me decide what to do with them all. I don't even know what kind of peppers half of these are....

Ok folks, I took a picture of my peppers. Any suggestions on how to use them? Besides stuffed peppers, I'm running out of ideas....

Weird. How bout this attachment..

The top ones on the right look like serranos. They are warm/hot. The others up top could be jalapenos. They are warm to hot. The middle ones look like Pasilla/Poblano. They make excellent chile rellenos (stuffed chiles). They are fairly mild. Not sure what the bottom ones are.

I think I can nail these with my 10 years of grocery experience:

Top right: serranos - I'd roast & peel them and then mash them into a grilled steak.
Top left: Poblano - either rellenos or stuff it with hot italian sausage
Middle: Cubanelle - its a sweet pepper that is slightly less bitter than a green bell pepper.
Bottom: Jalapeno - Can be extremely hot when eaten raw. I roast and peel them and use them as a topping for tacos. If you have tomatoes, onions, & herbs you can add them raw (sparingly) to make a good homemade salsa.

Very nice. We're heading down to NM in Sept. We'll be picking up our chiles then, and we need a new ristra, the wind has torn ours apart.

Just ate at Little Anitas in Denver yesterday, and the chilis in their green chile were FRESH!, and had that fresh roasted flavor, YUM!

Dfergie,

If you can find a copy of Chile Pepper magazine, they usually have ads for shipping chiles.

Been eating roast beef Burritos at work the last 3 days made from these... very good and like you say fresh.

Had to google it. Looks like self abuse, to me. I thought green chiles were supposed to be milder. I gather not.

You can get them mild, medium or hot. No self abuse unless you want, only gastronomical ecstasy!! ;)

That time of the year, going to meet my Brother & go pick up some fresh roasted Hatch Green Chiles & Bag...

oh boy Don! I can't wait, we're coming down to Taos at the end of September. We'll pick up our batch then!

I can't believe it, my local Safeway has Hatch chilies on sale! :up The fact that they even have them at all is amazing.

Ended up with 3 gallon freezer bags with 6-7 quart bags full plus 1 quart bag, I'm worried that might not be enough (had 1 gallon bag left from last year plus a couple of quart bags)...

Was that a half bushel?

Yeah, I split it with my Brother, bad thing is my freezer is pretty full.

The big question, are they roasting them for you??? ;)

Mine is kinda full also. So you split a bushel? or you split a half bushel?

Trying to figure out how much to buy this year.....

Thanks!

I believe it was a bushel and they were already roasted, I thought about a roadside guy that had a horse trailer setup full of chiles,(got some from him in the past) but had good luck last year with the ones I got at La Tienda a local grocery so went that route again... I might check & make sure I don't have some Ice ratholed in the bottom of the freezer that I can do without. (different compartment from where I usually keep the chiles) ;)

Central Market (a grocery store here in Texas) has their "Hatch Chile Festival" every year at the end of August. They setup a couple of roasters at each store and they sell tens of thousands of pounds. Unfortunately, they have only sold the green ones the last couple of years. I'm partial to the red hatch chiles.

I think they even have a contest (with themselves) to see if they can make more ridiculous items with the chiles than they did the year before. Of course, you can get burritos, tamales, queso and sausage...but they also make crazy stuff like Hatch Chile Sourdough, scones and mozzarella.

The big question, are they roasting them for you??? ;)

No way, but fresh Hatch chilies in California are a rarity. I usually get 'em canned from Trader Joe's.

Worried... I diced one up and scrambled with 3 eggs for breakfast, no heat... will have to make some tacos this evening with some to further investigate. (they were marked medium hot)

Uh oh!

Capital Ruh Roh... ;)

Yeah, especially with as much as you got.

and peeled, and bagged......:eek:

No biggie, still early and I have freinds that like mild, I could give these to them & get more...

I like a positive thinking person!

There is heat... I made a batch of burritos with 3 diced Chiles along with a diced Bell Pepper, Onion, grated Potato & 1 lb of lean Ground Beef... more like medium heat, but livable...

Well, medium is better than none! I actually like 'em a bit medium, too hot makes the food flavor go away for me.

I diced one and put in a bowl with a slice of margarine for :15 seconds in the microwave then added 2 eggs and a diced slice of cheddar cheese with a dash of milk... has heat ;)

$16... :D

Yummy, I'm ready to make some chili!

You read my mind! thinking chile colorado or red enchilada sauce... :D
New Mexican Red Chile (http://www.vivanewmexico.com/nm/food.recipes.cocinas.redchile.html)

Already threw a couple in the blender to top off my crushed red chile shaker, and used on eggs this morning...

Broke into last falls Green Chiles for lunch today... (Tacos)

HiFi will be right over! :D

Hotter Chiles... used 2 and it was just right :)

HiFi will be right over! :Ddamn straight! :D:D

On the news this morning they said Albuquerque is starting to get them in... will be going to Alamogordo Tuesday, might look there...

Waiting to get roasted now ...

6883668835Split with my Brother, already have them bagged and in freezer... got them early because the supply may not be that great due to the drought. (people were stocking up)

Central Market starts roasting tomorrow. I'm hoping they have the red chiles this year...they didn't last year.

I was worried about there not being a good supply of Chiles ... Wal Mart had boxes & boxes of them this morning & I saw a street vendor with a trailer loaded with toe-sacks full ...

Central Market finally got some RED chiles in this week!!! I bought 10#.

Saturday I saw a roadside vendor with a roaster ...(I still have red chiles from last year)

Roadside Red Chiles available, but still stocked up ... ;)
