Hatch Chilies at Albertsons Mkt. in Ventura

Ross in Ventura

2.46 lb.. @ $1.49 Hatch chilies I have never seen them in Ventura, I used to drive 90-ml to the City of Industry where there was a vegetable stand that would have them in August I called them but nobody answered.





I roasted them on the Egg and put them into Ziplock bags for 30 min. to sweat.

Skinned and seeded and tasted them, not too hot but tasty.

Vacuum sealed and into the freezer for when I make Green chili Pork Stew.

New Mexico-Style Green Chile and Pork Stew with Potatoes

2 T vegetable oil or more as needed
3 lbs boneless lean pork, cut into ½ to ¾ inch cubes
2 large onions, cut int6o medium dice
5 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 cups chicken stock
2 cups beef stock
¼ cup tomato puree
3 to 9 Hatch chilies, roasted, seeded, peeled, and cut into ½ inch pieces
1 T ground cumin
2 t ground Mexican oregano
2 T mild red chili powder
2 jalapeño chilies, seeded and finely minced
2 T green Tabasco sauce
1 t distilled white vinegar
2 t salt
5 to 6 unpeeled Red Bliss potatoes or other red boiling potatoes, cut into ½ inch dice
Warm flour tortillas and grated Monterey jack cheese for serving.


Heat the 2 T vegetable oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the pork and sauté until grey. Remove from the pan and place in a 4 quart heavy saucepan. Sauté the onions and garlic in the same pan, using a little more oil if needed. Add the cooked onions and garlic, stock, tomato puree, poblanos, cumin, oregano. And chili powder. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook, covered, for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Add the jalapenos, Tabasco, vinegar, salt, and potatoes. Cook, covered, at a simmer, for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Serve in bowls, accompanied with warm flour tortillas and grated Monterey jack cheese.

Serves 10

Thanks for the heads up on Albertsons. Will be near one tomorrow and I'll check to see if they have them. Last year I also drove quite aways to Henry's to get them. Is that the same stew you made at Eggs by the Bay a couple of years ago?

Ross in Ventura

Give it a try Dave, I cooked at Eggs by the Bay 2009 and got a good response you can get them canned as well

I went to the Albertson's in a nearby city for the advertised Hatch demo that was supposed to last till 2 PM. I got there at 11 AM and was told they were all gone. Not a trace of the chiles anywhere.

Hey Ross, everyday Albertson gets better and better, the produce were getting now is way above the other 3 biggies in the business out here. Too bad , Vons, Ralphs and Staters can be better.

Looks great! I sometimes go a little hatch crazy in August and want to put them in everything.

My grandad used to make what he called a hash (a drier stew I guess) in a cast iron skillet out of hamburger meat or venison, with potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, and now we add hatch green chilis.

Stopped by Albertson's this morning. Had to hunt for them, they only had a very small basket of them and they weren't by the other peppers. In fact the girl didn't know how to ring them up, she had never heard of Hatch chilis.

Ross, thanks for posting the recipe. I'm going to mix up a batch as soon as my chilies arrive.
