HATCH Chile Time!
There are no better chiles on the planet than New Mexico's Hatch. They are perfect...and despite not being in the Southwest this year, I did manage to find some at Whole Foods here in the Northeast.
I'm psyched...was thinking about doing a hatch salsa...or hatch scones.
Any other ideas for me?

Roast them(preferably over an outdoor grill) till the skins char, peel the skin off, cut in half, discard seeds and place in a shallow bowl with a few sliced garlic cloves and a splash of olive oil........now you have one of the best toppings for a cheese burger or any other sandwich. This is also the beginning of the famous New Mexico green chile sauce. Lots of recipes for that for a Google.
If you do a big batch at once they freeze beautifully...just char, peel and place in a freezer bag. Nothing better than to pull out a bag of roasted New Mexico chiles for a chile cheeseburger in the dead of winter.

Pork stew meat, green chiles, hominy, sweet potatoes, onions, garlic,chicken stock, cumin, chilepowder, chipotles if you want more heat and a little more depth of flavor or heat. Dredge pork in flour...

So hard to find in cans or frozen . I know they are best fresh but if you live in the land of corn but it would be nice.................

I bought about a pound and a half of fresh Hatch chillies from my local grocery store. I live in North Carolina and they were sold in the same grocery store about this time last year.
I've just finished roasting and peeling my fresh chillies. Found this thread when looking for ideas about how to use them.
