HATCH CHILE BASICS: What You Need to Know About Hatch Chile/Roasting, Peeling, & Freezing

[@gradybird3336]

For fans like me, Hatch green chile season is like an early Christmas! They're so versatile and delicious.

[@shay7090]

I grew up in NM and it’s an annual family tradition to roast and freeze Hatch green chile that brings our family together. It’s a bonding experience for generations. TY for spot lighting our heritage of local foods and traditions.🌶

[@bradkrit]

That's so cool, I love traditions like that.

[@shay7090]

@@bradkrit thank you. As our loved ones pass it’s our tradition to make sure future generations carry on 🙏🏼

[@Jaxparoh]

Thank you so much! I now live in Florida after 40 years of living in Albuquerque and I sure miss my chile! Chile on my pizza, eggs, burgers, burritos, everything! Thank you for keeping me connected to the 505 at least on the internet. I order hot red chile powder from Albuquerque and make red Chile sauce for enchiladas. 🙏🏻

[@marcyinspired1442]

I’m so happy I could bring a little bit of New Mexico to you in Florida. I think it’s when we move away that we have a greater appreciation for what a special state it is. ❤️🌶️

[@jimmcgee3111]

Great video. I cut the stems off before bagging in quart size freezer bags. I do freeze mine with the skin on and just defrost partly, then put in some hot water in bag and gently massage the bag. Most of the skin comes off that way. The only reason I don’t peel the as soon as I get them (which I have done in the past) is it takes a long time to peel a burlap sack full of roasted chile. I live in southeast New Mexico

[@marcyinspired1442]

That's a great tip about massaging the bag when the chile is thawing.You're right about it being a lot of work when you roast a whole 30lb. sack. Thanks for watching.

[@kitsune303]

I love cooking and discovered Hatch chilis about 5 years ago. They have leveled up my cooking. Your video showed me a couple of new tricks. I have yet to master the relleno, which is my favorite food.

[@condeerogers5858]

You are the best. I'm in Missouri. A transplant from CA. I just roasted a small bag of Anaheim's so I can make some more chicken tamales with green chilies. Next time you have breakfast and you don't feel rushed sauté some diced onions and green chilies then scramble that w/eggs. Serve with salsa, avocado and sour cream. Also tortillas of your choice. It is the best

When I bring mine home from being roasted I just sit in the car and inhale the aroma of the roasted chili. Honestly I don't want to get out of the car . It smells so good in an enclosed space.

[@K4familySnoeberger]

Thank you for this video. I learned how to roast my own chile by your video. We always buy it in big bushels and get it roasted at the location we go to buy it. We really like the chile steamed after it's roasted. You know when you go to your location you want to get it roasted at, they put it in big bags. That does the steaming for us. It just takes so long for it to cool down when we get home. We usually take it outside and open up the bags and let it cool as much as possible so that we can even touch it to put in freezer bags. We never peel our chili ahead of time. We peel it after we take it out of the freezer. We tried one time to peel our chiles before we froze them, and it took forever. It actually took hours. We find it easier if you take them out of the freezer and then peel them. We have found that if you take them out of the freezer , it's better to leave them partially frozen. That way the Skins come off quickly and easy. We have never made chili rellenos. I hope you have a video on how to make them.

[@marcyinspired1442]

Roasting & peeling large amounts of chile is definitely a labor of love. Glad you found this video educational. Here's my video for how I make chile rellenos, as well as a delicious recipe for chile relleno soup: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipvFZGSqg6yHe9Usi=etmjEAlpy02hARaM kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaSupY2sn9Nlla8si=2YYZQ-azi4-NGpQG

OMG, one of us is 🔮 psychic!!! I used to work in Flagstaff as a school bus driver, some of my most favorite times in my life!! I have been thinking that at this time of year, Flagstaff used to smell sooooo yummy because they were roasting Hatch Chiles in 2 parts of town. The aroma was sooooo yummy 😋 and the taste of them on everything or alone is delicious. OMG!! Hatch chilis have been in my brain bouncing around. We now live in CA 😢😢😢😢. I really miss this time of year there. I used to eat them right out of the bag all the way home. 🌶 🌶 🌶 🌶 🌶 They are roasted in these huge tanks, and the waiting was worth it. Thank you so much for putting pictures to my dreams. 😊😊

Hi Marcy, I live in Tucson now, but I grew up in Albuquerque. This video brought back some good memories of my childhood. During "chile season" it was a tradition for neighbors to gather at the Padilla's home to roast green chile. Families brought their charcoal grills to the Padilla's driveway and made a day of it. Oh the smell of that chile roasting...I am in heaven just remembering! My parents transplanted from Michigan to NM when I was 6 weeks young. New Mexico is my home.

[@marcyinspired1442]

What a sweet memory. I can picture it all in my mind. Hope you’ve been able to stay connected to the Padilla family. They sound like great people who would love having you visit. Btw, we were in Tucson last week and had lunch at El Charro Cafe. It was excellent. 👌🏼

[@kanakoa74]

My kids, my dad, and that side of my family are from New Mexico going way back. I grew up eating the Chiles from there. I just picked up a sack of roasted Hatch Chiles out here in So Cal and really enjoyed your video. I learned a few things about handling them after roasting! Thanks you.

What a nice comment! I'm so happy to hear that. Thanks for watching!

[@donaldpruett852]

I buy my Hatch chilis every year here in Peoria, AZ. in August. Reference freezing, would your recommend freezing the chilis on a big cooking sheet and then placing them in large freezer bags so you could pick out as many as you need without thawing the rest of them out. I have done this same thing with hot dogs and it works beautifully. I've been through Hatch New Mexico in August. Absolutely gorgeous. If you are ever in La Mesilla, NM (Las Cruces) you have got to try "La Posta" Mexican food restaurant. Every time I travel through Southern New Mexico l ways stop there.

[@Oldminerdon]

Well Marci I am glad I watched this video before ordering Hatch chilies. I was thinking about getting them already roasted and cleaned and frozen. I have decided to order a 25 pound box of fresh medium chilies. I will be working alone on top of my toy hauler stove top. My plan is to put them in the fridge as soon as they show up here in Western Oregon. Then roast, clean and freeze a few every day for the next week until they're done. Or when I'm done whichever comes first lol. If I run into trouble then I'll do the best I can and give away what I can't get around to. I'm sure I can do at least 15 pounds. So I could order 10 pounds but for $15 more I can get a extra 15 pounds. I have a extra freezer in the garage so when I get done roasting and freezing the chilies they have a place to chill out until they are used.

Just bagged and tagged my first batch. I bought it at a all organic farm in Belen, the chile was nice and meaty and had good heat but didn't linger too long! I was real happy! I got about 25 bags outta it so I need a little more, the crop has been delayed for some reason from Hatch, that's why I went to a local farmer. I also bought a lot of sweet corn from Olathe Colorado and froze that, It was so sweet and good! Nice segment and tips!!

[@marcyinspired1442]

I'm a chile addict from Carlsbad, NM who has moved to Ecuador. I didn't realize how addicted I was to Hatch chile until I couldn't smell that heavenly aroma of roasting chile at the stores in the fall. As soon as I got to Ecuador, I bought some seeds and planted my own chile, but I had little experience in roasting them, so your video was very helpful. It's wonderful to be able to grow my own crop of chile, but I still miss the annual mouth-watering New Mexico experience of chile shopping!

Every year in August I go to my favorite grocer and look for their sale on Hatch green chiles. I live in Phoenix so it's a little bit of a drive to go to Hatch NM, although I have been through there in August in the mid 90's when working in N.M. I can usually get them for $.99 a pound in season but mostly these days they are about $1.49 a pound. I usually wind up with about 20+ pounds of them, roast them over my three-burner propane outdoor cooker. I haver peeled them both ways, dropped in a bucket of cold water and put in plastic bags for an hour or two. I agree with your cold water results. As for freezing, I place then flat on parchment paper on a large cookie sheet and freeze them. When frozen I can place them by the hand full in large zip-loc baggies and put them back in the freezer. They are available one at a time or as many as you want without having to tear them apart from each other. 🤠

We live in Alabama. When we order chili the shipping is cost more than the chili. So we order 50lbs. It's usually late in the day when it is delivered so I refrigerate till I can get them roasted. Usually 2 days because I do them in the oven. I do freeze them with the skin on because it is so time consuming. Also we did Lumbra and I didn't use gloves. I found that washing your hands with toothpaste removes the heat. I love your videos. I have many of your recipes I am going to try.

Great tip on the water shock method. I'm going to try that next year with some of mine. They'd be perfect for rellenos as I'm a disaster at making them, even when using gigantic poblanos. Mine pretty much always turn into "Plan B"...'relleno casserole' because I not very good at splitting them and many end up tearing apart completely. Just never got the hang of it. Also, the firmer ones would be good as rajas in chicken tamales. Our old neighbor, the proverbial abuelita, would make hers in the standard way as far as the chicken in salsa verde but then she would add a raja of jicama (I think, but it might have been potato) and green chile laid over the chicken, no cheese. I have no idea where she moved away to years ago but her tamales are imprinted onto my brain for life.

[@L.Spencer]

Mini chile rellenos! Or stuffed with cream cheese. Mmm. I haven't peeled chiles, poblanos, seems pretty labor intensive. My wonderful husband has done it, when he makes chiles rellenos. I don't know if we can buy hatch here in San Diego. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled. I think I've seen them in cans.

Hi Susie! It was so nice to meet you! There's a very small window in which you can find Hatch chile fresh in the grocery store and that's late August through September. It will always be labeled "Hatch," though it looks similar to Anaheim. When it's out of season, you can still find Hatch chile in a jar. 505 Southwestern is a good brand, or you can find it in a can. It will always say Hatch and chile will be spelled with an "e." Thanks for watching, and for always looking out for the crew at work.

Hi Marcy i have a question after you roast chili and take off the skin do you take out seeds and then bag and freeze them. Thanks love your show ❤

[@marcyinspired1442]

It’s a matter of personal preference. I try to take out as many as I can, but that’s only because I don’t leave a lot of seeds in when i cook. But you can still freeze the chile with seeds in and remove them once thawed.

From EL PASO….YOU ARE GREAT.

[@CathyKeck-sq9io]

Thank you for the very informative video, your hard work is greatly appreciated. I'd like to know if you are using a freezer bag or just any plastic bag for the steaming step with the chilis?

[@marcyinspired1442]

Thank YOU for watching. Any plastic bag will do.

I bought some at the supermarket and I even purchased Hatch Chile Salsa in a bottle. It's bland. I eat peppers raw or chop some up and put em in a dipping sauce. I'm going to roast some to see if that will make a difference.

We live in Indiana and love Mexican food! My husband and I attended the 40th Balloon Festival a few years ago. Love New Mexico and wish I could live there. So beautiful and the sky is so blue there.

Marcy, as a New Mexican ex-pat in the southeast, I remember the taste and smell of pinon nuts we harvested outside of Santa Fe. I've been looking for recipes to use the gorgeous nuts from this year's crop I ordered a couple of weeks ago (and froze half). Rather than use the many Italian recipes for these little flavor bombs, it would be great to have a baked good recipe but especially some chili dishes using the flavor and texture of the nuts, both fresh and roasted. Any tricks up your sleeves?

[@marcyinspired1442]

That's awesome! It's been years since I've had roasted piñons, let alone picked any, myself. I just buy them at the store and they're so expensive. I mostly use them to make pesto, because I grow a lot of basil in my garden, and I use them in my white cream lasagna rolls. (I've shared both those recipes.) I wish I had something more exciting up my sleeves for you. You can always put them in pancakes. They're wonderful in the batter and sprinkled on top, particularly in blue corn pancakes. As far as using them in chile dishes, I bet they would be delicious inside chile rellenos or in rajas. In fact, let me share three links to chile recipes I would try them in. And let me know what you think.

Watching from Farmington, NM. Thanks for the tips how to cook my chili's.

[@marcyinspired1442]

Hello to you in Farmington. Thank you so much for watching!

Hi Marcy,. I love your channel and videos. I noticed that when they roast them in Hatch, they are put in a plastic bag. Would traveling from Southern Arizona be too many hours in a plastic bag? Would that make it harder to peel?
