Hatch Green Chile's

The Hatch Green Chile's are in the super market and the farmers markets.  These Chile's from Hatch, New Mexico are one of the real treasures of summer.  We always get excited when the Hatch Chile's hit the stores.  These are the best Green Chile's that I have ever had.

Come on in and we will show you 
what we do with our Chile's.  

The first thing we do is put all the Chile's on a very hot grill and burn the skin on the Chile.  Then quickly take the Chile off the grill and put them into a stainless steel bowl and cover with foil.  Allow the Chile's to completely cool before taking the foil cover off the bowl.

Next we peel the Chile.  If you have allowed the chile's to cool completely the peeling will come right off,  and by now the whole house is filled with the wonderful smell of Green Chile's.  It smells heavenly.

 

It really doesn't take that long and you have a whole platter of Chile's ready to use. Next put your Chile's in the refrigerator and let the chile's chill for at least 2 hours, it will be easier to handle the chile as they are fairly fragile at this point.

 

Next pull the stem out of the chile, and most of the seed will come with it. You can easily pick the rest of the seed off of the Chile. Today I will be preparing some of my Chile's for the freezer and stuffing some for my recipe.
