Got Some Hatch Chilies, any ideas ?

[masonred]

When grilling bacon I also decided to char some Hatch peppers. A good accident when a pepper contacted the bacon, GOOD STUFF!  I'll try it on purpose next time maybe a pork chop. Some Hatch are hot and others mild so know what you are using.

Yeah, I got mild at one store & they were way more screamin' than most jalepenos....don't know what their hot pile might contain.............got some from a different store, one undetermined pile & they were a nice mild....

IDA....that stew looks better every time you post !!!!

That's funny because I was going to do rellenos this weekend with a few , mine don't look like that ? I stuff with cheese and then into egg whites and pan fry , maybe have to try Stevie's way

I’ve inquired about heat difference and got different answers. A kid mixed them up at store as joke, sometimes it just happens in the field through back or cross pollination etc... However they do vary greatly and both have a place just give them a taste test.

I just got word that hatch chiles are in my local area right now, so I'm grateful for everyone who posted to this thread.  Thanks!

I got about two hours worth of roasting to do....have fun, the flavor is worth it....

some people say not much different than Anaheims, but I think they're a lot better.....

Hatch chiles on sale for 1.29/lb at my local Harris Teeter, so I bought a bunch for myself and a couple friends. Made a little salsa at lunch to get dialed into the flavor/heat, and then tried some chile Rellenos and salsa verde for dinner.







Thanks to y'all for the help!

Nice....glad you could get them in the North !!!!


The chile Rellenos looks intriguing......did you roast & peel, or just split & fill, or....?

[mike.stavlund]

I roasted them and peeled the skin off... seemed to give the breading a bit more traction, and added some flavor.  And as luck would have it, the salsa verde was prolly the best I've made this summer-- even without any cilantro!

I keep seeing these hatch cookies at my local Grocers, what is so special about them? Should I be buying all of them??

[Troy]

Chilled not cookies
