Add on: you could also mix it with some rice with some grilled corn and chicken added in or whatever other vegetables you might like.

Puree them with some cilantro, garlic,corn oil, almonds, salt, crushed red pepper. You'd have a pesto-like sauce that you can spread over some grilled chicken, pasta, in a tortilla or wrap.
How Do You Like Your Cheesecake?
Junior's Strawberry Cheesecake in downtown Brooklyn is at the top of my list. When I can't get there, my girlfriend makes her own version that is equally delicious.
Pimento cheese...what's your best recipe?
If you're looking for a "light" recipe, here's mine:
3/4 c of Hellmann's light mayonnaise
2 c of Kraft or Cracker Barrell's 2% Shredded Cheddar
1/4 jar of roasted red peppers, minced
1/8 tsp of cayenne pepper
Couple Grinds of Black Pepper
Pinch of Salt
Place all your ingredients in a large bowl and stir to combine.

Inspired by Spanish tapas... I would stuff them with a mixture of Tuno Antipasto mixed with cream cheese...
You could also:
Use them in a salad...
Use them in a stewed dish...
Mix them in a tomatillo salsa, to eat with anything Mexican, specially if they're somewhat hot

Big Jim, like Joe Parker, Conquistador and NuMex 6-4 is a New Mexico pod type pepper from New Mexico State University. When a vendor says he has "Hatch Chiles" he is playing off the name of a growing region, not telling you what chile you are buying. Or it is possible the vendor has no idea what chile he is selling or doesn't want to bother explaining. Because these varieties are similiar in taste, most consumers are content with this. But there are people who insist on one or the other.
While other chiles are grown in Hatch (jalapenos for instance), what a "Hatch chile" almost always refers to is a cultivar which is descended from New Mexico #9--a landrace chile developed by Fabian Garcia and released by NMSU in 1921. Garcia's work created the New Mexico chile boom.
Garcia is also responsible for the New Mexico paprika industry which is economically more important than the "Hatch" chile business. These peppers are not grown for their taste but for for their deep red color. Tons of powdered NuMex Garnet and Sweet are shipped worldwide to be used as natural food colorings. When you see "coloring added" on processed food labels you are probably eating New Mexico chile peppers. The problematic red dyes of 30 years ago have been largely replaced by chile peppers.

Okay, I promised, so here's what I did. The peppers were a little smaller, thinner, and floppier than I wanted to deal with for stuffing, so I cleaned them and chopped them. Made a layered dish, or a casserole, if you must. Bottom layer was some rice. Cooked some onion, ground beef, zucchini, and added the chopped peppers. That went on top of the rice. Topped that with a layer of Muir Glen fire roasted chopped tomatoes, and then some shredded colby cheese on top. Heated the whole thing until the cheese was all melty, sprinkled some cilantro on top and served with the refried beans and sour cream.
The peppers made it pretty darned spicy, so no salsa needed. It was really good. Did I mention it was pretty spicy?
Now I've got all your great ideas for the next few times I buy peppers. When they have bigger ones, I do want to stuff them, but the cream sauce and chicken stew both sound yummy, too.
@jb, I'm in Colorado, and the first of the fire roasted peppers have appeared. Not only do they have them at the farmer's market, but some of the little stores will have them running outside later in the year. And after that, a lot of the places that grow peppers will dry and grind them and sell the chili powder at the markets.

Roasted green peppers always remind me of that celebration scene in Like Water for Chocolate, when the runaway sister comes home. There's a shot of a platter of roasted and stuffed peppers being ladled with cream sauce and sprinkled with pomegranate seeds, and it looks so delicious.

You should make mexican food; fajitas filled with the peppers, veg and rice. Serve with Salsa, keep it simple you want to use the natural flavours of the peppers.

Melt some Monterey Jack on top of hamburgers and put your roasted peppers on top of that.

Oh my lord are you kidding? You have GOT to make green chile chicken stew with those pretty little babies. I'm from New Mexico and if you have anything like a Hatch chile, this is what you have to make. That, or green chile enchiladas. Go authentic mexican with this. You have to!
