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