Chef you should only make that mistake once.

Speak for yourself

My only experience with hatch peppers is from a buddy that has friends in New Mexico that sends him some. I got to eat some of stuff he made. He has since moved to Texas. But to my surprise, my walmart had bags of them today. First time I have seen them there, so I grabbed a bag.

So I need to do something with them. Only thing I have made out of them before is chili verde and it was pretty awesome. Do any of you have any favorite recipes you want to share?

[YooperDog]

Grimpuppy I don’t have a favorite recipe but I put them into a lot things. Salsa, scrambled eggs, chorizo, chili’s, etc… I have packages frozen that I use as needed. As someone mentioned earlier the heat level varies from year to year so be aware of what you have.

[Pivodog]

Grimpuppy The first thing that I would do is roast them and then freeze what you don’t think that you will use.

They don’t seem to be as Hot as normal this year. They sell them as hot but there so-so .

Grimpuppy Chicken enchiladas.

Grimpuppy Grilled cheese with the chiles in the middle. I get 2 bushel every year, one hot & one medium, mixed and roasted. We freeze with the skin on and peel when thawed. Mixed makes it a surprise as to what the heat level will be. We also use in scrambled eggs. There are several cookbooks and recipes for chiles, everything from appetizers to desserts.

[bocephus]

We get two, sometimes three gunny sacks a year, can’t get enough of them. From eggs in the morning to burgers at night, we use them on just about everything.

Chef You might end up with a hot tamale!

[HerbcoFood]

Sad how it seems like it takes forever to get here and then before you know it there isn’t a fresh hatch chile to be found.

[bocephus]

HerbcoFood We also get chile from Lemitar, which is very good.

[Bob Stehlik]

HerbcoFood I got my 2 bushel last Saturday. Bagged and in freezer. They were very meaty this year but didn’t seem to have the heat like last year.

[Jamieson22]

Does anyone have a good sausage/snack stick recipe using hatch chilies? I have a big jar of them from Costco (505 brand) and looking for inspiration.

[HerbcoFood]

Bob Stehlik Yeah that is what I noticed as far as heat went, I got a few that were “hot” but they were just mild as can be. Even the mild ones in the past have some heat, not this year as well. However, I have been getting these from Costco lately.
