    👩🏻‍🍳 Tamara Talks - About Hatch Green Chile

    There's something magical and amazing about Hatch green chile season in southern New Mexico... Use your words Tamara.  😀 How to describe a roaster full of Hatch green chile? Smoky. Rich. Heady. Perfumy. (Is that even a word?) Every year I said the same thing: "Why can't we bottle this smell to enjoy year 'round?" Mmmm. There's just nothing like it.

    Having left New Mexico in the summer of 2015, I'm missing my 3rd Hatch green chile season. I guess I can't expect you to "get it," unless you've experienced it yourself. However, many parts of the country are now able to find Hatch green chiles, some are lucky enough to enjoy a Hatch chile festival and get a sack (or three) roasted.

    Don't assume all Hatch green chile is "equal." The Chile Pepper Institute at New Mexico State University rates New Mexico chile heat levels from 0-7,000 scoville units. Yes, the Anaheim chile is related, and was also developed at the Chile Pepper Institute by pioneer horticulturist Fabián Garcia.

    We almost always got two 30-40 pound sacks of "medium." Some years it had no heat, and some years we had to toss it by Christmas... Which brings me to my next important point. Warning: Green chile gets hotter in the freezer! Yes. It. Does. The longer you keep your chile in the freezer, the hotter it gets!

    Have you experience Hatch green chile? Are you an addict like me? I would love to hear from you!

    Today I bring you a collection of excellent Hatch green chile recipes for inspiration. If you can't find fresh, you may find fresh-frozen chile at your market. You can also order high-quality fresh frozen chile online. If you're not sure what to do with the fresh ones, click through to Roasting and Peeling Instructions.

    If you need more inspiration, check out my friend Sandi Gaertner's 10 DELICIOUS HATCH CHILE RECIPES AND HOW TO ROAST THEM! This excellent post also includes a video for blistering your Hatch chiles on the grill!

    Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom! You won't want to miss a single recipe.  😀

    Signature in red and green with chiles and limes.

      My family is from New Mexico. Every year someone is kind enough to ship me Hatch or Chimayo Chiles...to Virginia....that I roast here on the grill, peel, bag and then freeze. The aroma is always amazing .. wonderful childhood memories. Thanks for these recipes. Will definitely try them! I just had red chile pozole on New Year's from a family recipe.... Soo good! Happy New Year!

        We're definitely connected through our love of New Mexico chile! I have to work harder to get them as I now live in south Texas, and 2 of our sons live in Charlotte, NC. Red chile posole is always a family favorite (and one of my most popular posts), and I will continue to do whatever I need to do to get those beautiful green pods, and that gorgeous earthy red chile powder! Thanks for taking the time to write in!
