My local Vons got in this year's crop of Hatch, New Mexico green chiles. :love:

They had two selections: mild and hot. I got some of each to make a blend

Peeled and diced - the aroma filling the house was intoxicating. Great flavor - just right, with a lingering heat on the lips and tongue. This will go great on the green chile cheese burgers planned for tomorrow!

I like green chili cheese burgers and don’t have them enough.
I’m going to revisit that.

We make hatch Chile smash burger this time of year along with green chile cheeseburgers.
We also make enchiladas, Chile verde, and NM green Chile stew (my favorite).

In the off season, we make these items with fresh Anaheim chiles with an added Jalapeño (1 per 4 Anaheims).
 
IMO there are few things better than the smell of roasting chiles. I need to get in to my local market and see if they have them in stock yet.
 
I just placed an order with my local grocer for Saturday pickup, 1/2 box of hot, they roast them out in the parking lot.
 
Here in Colorado, the road side stands and farmers markets this time of year are full of (i) Palisades peaches, (ii) Olathe sweet corn and (iii) hatch chiles.

aaaah the aroma, these were roasted within 10 minutes of me picking them up, they were waiting for me outside next to the roaster!

My folks used to live in Santa Fe and when I would visit I'd volunteer to do grocery runs just so I could drive around the parking lot with the windows down to take in the heavenly aroma of roasting chiles.

I'm roasting a second batch today. (y)
