Hatch Chilis

[Anonymous]

NM resident. It's chile, not chili.

And Hatch chiles are by far the best.

I roast them, let them sweat in a bag, then peel off the skin and pull the peppers into strips. Sauté these in a pan with olive oil, salt, garlic and then store to use on salads, in quick little cheese quesadillas, in pasta, etc. Can also put them in a blender to make a sauce. Hatch chile is like a top 5 food for me, I love them

I have to agree. I grow several Numex chile varieties in my Silver Spring yard and I can’t tell the difference.

It’s because you’re growing them in Silver Spring. Wrong climate. Chilis are like wine grapes — where they’re grown, as well as the weather in a given year, make a big difference in flavor.

Not really. I’ve had Hatch and the ones I grow and there’s no day and night difference.

You’re not from NM then. They are different and they are the best.

LOL. This is like everyone saying their grandma’s blueberry pie is the best.

I think they may seem the best for people from NM but they’re nothing special to the rest of us.

Nothing like the smell of hatch chiles roasting in the fall. You can smell it everywhere in the state. Delicious!

Disagree. I think they are the best as well.

I used to live in NM and I definitely miss this! The scent of fall in NM is green chiles roasting rather than pumpkin spice!

Wrong. I’m from Georgia and absolutely love Hatch Chiles. I like other Chiles but not as much as hatch.
