OT - New Mexico Hatch Green Chiles
Options

Just wanted to get an idea of how many people out there have had the great pleasure of enjoying fresh green chiles from New Mexico. I am unable to find any reasonable tasting canned chiles here in Georgia (even though they say "Hatch"), so when my stockpile of frozen chiles runs out, I'm out of luck!

I buy 15-20 pounds of them each August when they come out. I roast them on my grills, remove the skin, freeze them, and use them throughout the year. This past weekend, I made a green chili using hatches, tomatillos, pulled pork, and a bunch of other stuff for a church party. It was a pretty big hit.

I buy a bushel every August too, a restaurant in SLC is now my source, they roast 'em for me.This is a four-day weekend for me, so I made up a batch of green chile sauce and been having huevos rancheros every morning; life is good!:-bd_____________

@clintmiller do you roast them on your egg?
@botch the juevos rancheros sound amazing! I put green chile on everything except my cereal.Large - Mini - Blackstone 17", 28", 36"

I have an Egg and a Weber Jumbo Joe. I fire them both up and keep both loaded with as many peppers as they can hold.

Thank you for the info Richard!@clintmiller - I've heard that roasting the chiles puts off quite an aroma. Given that the egg is great at holding flavors in, have you found the green chile flavor to be too strong on other cooks after they're done roasting? I've just been warned that they might "ruin" the egg - please tell me this isn't true!Large - Mini - Blackstone 17", 28", 36"

I haven't noticed that. I did cook them inside under the broiler a few years back, and loved the smell they filled the house with. I've kind of missed not having that smell since I've been cooking them outside.

Good to know. I know it might be a sin, but Anaheim peppers are as close as I can get to Hatch chiles for a while. Have you ever had them? I hear they don't have the same heat but if they're not bad I might give them a shot on the egg.Large - Mini - Blackstone 17", 28", 36"

I was just hanging out with a buddy of mine yesterday who spent a few years in New Mexico and he raved about them. I want to get my \hands on some, but I'm in Kansas City and don't know of a good source. I found this place online but the minimum order is a ten pound box. I know I can peel them and freeze them but 10 lbs is a pretty big commitment for something I haven't tried

There just ain't no way that Hatch Green Chiles and the BGE are Off Topic!
They go together like green eggs and ham! I can't wait till August. I roast a bunch on my egg every summer!

@Eggatron - I've found a handful of online dealers that are selling hatch green chiles. Most of them provide 5lb bags that you might look in to. Also, "hatch chile season" is closer to the end of the summer, so you might be able to find them easier around then.@ibanda - I wasn't sure! Where do you get your chiles from? I'll be making a trip to Albuquerque in September to visit family and will be coming home to Georgia with a batch of fresh chiles to roast!Large - Mini - Blackstone 17", 28", 36"

I do know that, for all of them, the heat level is much more dependent on that year's growing season rather than the particular sub-species (I became a chilehead after living in Albuquerque for 5 years)_____________

The timing of this topic is weird. I ordered this Saturday from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007VCOEMA/ It will be delivered tomorrow. Has anyone tried them canned?

Thanks @Botch. I might try roasting some Anaheims and see how their flavor compares (still have one bag of frozen hatch chiles). Luckily my family is from Albuquerque and I have excuses to go back besides the chile!Large - Mini - Blackstone 17", 28", 36"

Will do fence0407. Unfortunately I had to get the mild since my father-in-law doesn't like hot, but if the flavor is good, will order hot next and divide recipes in half for mild for him and hot for everyone else.

@fence0407 - I travel to southern Colorado every August and they are pretty easy to find at the farmers markets. Often they will have a big propane fired roaster onsite. I live in Oklahoma and they are not hard to find in the grocery stores here in August. Where I used to live in Dallas and Fort Worth the Central Market grocery stores make a big deal about it and have roasters outside their stores for about 2 weeks every August."Bacon tastes gooood, pork chops taste gooood." - Vincent Vega, Pulp Fiction

SWMBO grew up in Taos NM and we had her familia ship us some to FL a few years back and we roasted them and then vacuum packed and froze them. Sadly after our last big meal of smothered burritos with green chile sauce we are out. The can stuff from "Hatch" is ok but, not even close to as good. Huge difference. We need to have family in CO.or NM send us some more.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

I tried roasting Anaheim peppers yesterday. They ended up tasting OK - but not great. Had to leave the seeds in for there to be any heat. I'll just have to wait until the fall when I make it to Albuquerque.Large - Mini - Blackstone 17", 28", 36"
