For those of you who don't live in an area where fresh green chilies are readily available, try this fantastic powdered form of Hatch Green Chilies. [pictured at base] It really is a fascinating process to make this chile! Considering it takes 18 pounds of fresh green chiles to make only one pound of them dried! With that said, this spice can be hard to find. I'll include the phone number and web address of a great little business we order through at the base of this recipe.

Ingredients

15 mins
4 servings
  1. Roasted Chiles
  2. 1 Fresh Green Chiles Of Your Choosing [we only use Hatch Chilies]
  3. 1 Gas Stove - Grill - Any Open Flame
  4. 1 large Ziplock Bag Or A Tall Brown Paper Bag
  5. 1 Pair Tongs

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    OPEN ANY WINDOWS AND DOORS IF POSSIBLE AND TURN ON YOUR CEILING AND OVEN FANS! TRUST ME FOLKS! IT CAN GET STOUT! :0)

  2. 2

    Place fresh chiles on gas stove or grill. Fire until skins are bubbling, blackened, charred and popping but not burnt. Too long of roasting time will make your chiles mushy. Turn frequently until all sides are blackened and charred.

  3. 3

    Wearing plastic gloves, place chiles in Ziplock bag [or even a tall, wine bottle style paper bag-taller is better for steaming these] and seal them airtight until they've fully sweated off their skins. About 15 minutes or until they've just slightly cooled.

  4. 4

    While still warm, peel, de-seed [if desired] and chop chiles by hand. DO NOT rinse chilies under water to fully clean skins! You'll strip them of that fantastic roasted flavor! Know that small pieces of skins left on your chiles are harmless and will only serve to enhance your flavor.

  5. 5

    You can also freeze these Hatch Green Chiles in your Ziplock bag safely for months, peeled or unpeeled.

  6. 6

    Dried Green Chile Cost: About $11.00 per 1/2 pound and is available in Mild, Hot & Extra Hot. Know that the Extra Hot is much harder to come by and is usually on backorder. New Mexico Chile & Ristra NewMexicoChileAndRistra.com 1-(505)-603-3359

  7. 7

    Use your roasted chiles anyway you'd like. Seeds left in for more adventurous pallets? Or, in stews, soups, chile verdes, with smothered burritos, over omelets, in breads, etc. Listed below are several delicious and flat out memorable green chile recipe ideas for you to peruse and try out.

I'm a Certified Sushi Chef, Certified Culinary Youth Instructor [6 thru 21 year olds] Licensed CYFD Foster Parent, Certified Mixologist, avid Scuba and Spear Diver, fisherman, camper, big game hunter and crazy avid gardener. Hense my love for the year round super fresh meats, seafoods and crispy fresh vegetables my students have consistently listed for your families picky approval! With that, cooking, teaching and feeding others are obviously 3 of my absolute passions in life. My culinary specialties as an easy going Chef include Asian, Mexican, Cajun, BBQing, Grilling, Irish Pub food, Low Country foods, anything seafood related, extra spicy foods, fresh meat, extra fresh vegetables, US comfort, kid friendly and super fast, quick and easy foods. But, I'll literally put anything in my mouth at least once. Pfft! My daddy didn't nickname me, "Goat," at two years of age for nothin'! Yup! I'll literally put anything in my mouth at least once! P.S. Most ALL of my recipes posted on this site were soley submitted by my youngest 6, 7 and 8 year old culinary students. Mostly recipes for the homeless and battered women's shelters they regularly cook for. That means ANYONE can make these super easy, crazy delicious recipes! Lastly, my only culinary motto? Be sure to marry a Cook or a Chef. After all, looks fade. Hunger sure as hell doesn't." Anyway, hit me up with any questions. I'm happy to help all y'all out if I possibly can!
