Hatch Green Chiles 2023 Are In!

[Erik Tracy]

Here in San Diego, we just got in the first batch of New Mexico Hatch Green Chiles at my local Vons!

I hand picked 10 from the bin



Roasted up on the grill - and enjoyed with my last can of Las Cumbres Elevated IPA from New Mexico


Peeled, diced, and ready for eating. This year's 'vintage' is a very nice medium hot with a lingering warmth and tasty green chile flavor!


Get 'em while you can!

Hmmm...based on the other fruits in the photos, are you contemplating a salsa?

Do it do it…..peach salsa……

 

[Erik Tracy]

Well, a play on words from Supertramp regarding the peaches - "Not quite ripe!"

 

[Brad Olson]

So you're going to wait until they're bloody well ripe?

I always see those in the store but never pull the trigger on them, do you eat them just like that or is there other delicious plans with them?

I love hatch chili season

 

[DuaneMac]

Me too! We usually see them the first couple weeks of September. These were some from last year!

I really need to do this myself. Those look great fellas!

It's a personal preference taste sort of thing, but I like roasted diced green chile on scrambled eggs, a small topping on a garden salad. My favorite is a generous smearing on the top bun of a green chile cheese burger.

I freeze unused portions for the cooler times of the season to add to stews, or mix in with pico de gallo for tacos/burritos.

We're waiting for our order from the supplier...
Hopefully this or next week.

It’s a wonderful time of year isn’t it? Here in Texas we have a large grocery store chain (HEB) that is just awesome and every year they have what is essentially a hatch chili celebration. I love it.

I usually buy them at my local grocer who roasts them in a large tumble basket, this year I may be buying them raw & using my new rotisserie basket to char them....

I used to visit my folks in Santa Fe and would just sit in the car with the windows downs at the market to take in the heavenly aroma of the outside chile roasters.

But doing them at home, my kitchen had that same delicious aroma!
