Looking for something more than queso and green sauce this year.

TIA

Smoked on a burger.

Am I the only one who doesn't get the hatch chili craze?

I love everything central market does but their obsession with hatch chilis this time of year is always humorous to me. It almost makes me avoid hatch chilis

It's definitely weird. I like them, but it's just Anaheim peppers, and they've been around forever. It's similar to the chipotle craze about 10 years ago. I do like pork green chili stew and make it a couple times a year.

We picked up an apple pie at HEB for a family thing.
Turns out it had hatch chilis in it.
Not a favorite combo.

That sounds disgusting, but there's plenty of people that will "love" it because it's trendy.

Roast. Peel. Dice. Mix into mashed potatoes with sour cream and monterrey jack cheese and butter, and a little milk if needed. Then baked in oven until melty on top. Hatch Green Chili mashed potatoes casserole. I don't know, I was just farting around one day and whipped it up. It was awesome

They're great in mac-n-cheese.

I made a batch of hatch chocolate cookies one year and they were absolutely fantastic. They were more of a devil's food cookie with the chillies and dried cherries added.

I might have to try these this year.

We make our own hatch chili powder and put it on popcorn.

I like to make an omelet by sauting a couple of fire roasted chiles in a non stick skillet, adding beaten eggs and then topping with shredded cheddar and jack cheese.

Ooo....that sounds awesome. How does one go about doing this?

The (Kenji Lopez) green chili pork recipe that's been floating around here a long time is even better when substituting Hatch green chilies. Then, use that 'stew' to make amazing stacked green chili pork enchiladas.


As Kenji said when asked in the comments section about substituting Hatch green chilies, "Easy! Just take out the poblanos and cubanelles from the recipe, and replace them with 10 hatch chilis, you lucky duck!"

Not recipe for fresh Hatch peppers but I was looking to try something new and bought the HEB Hatch bacon and it is really good.

We dehydrate them in the dehydrator then pulverize them.

Just saw this thread, so I'm late to the party. We like to steam them until they are soft, cut the stem end off and seed them. Stuff them with a mixture of crab meat and shredded cheese then wrap them in egg roll wrappers and deep fry. They're great like that.

someone in new mexico decided to create demand for their supply. i'm guessing the grocery stores get "marketing support".
