Ask a question about this stepRoast the vegetables for 25-30 minutes, stirring them a couple of times during roasting.
Ask a question about this stepOnce the green chile has started to blister, pull it out (leaving the rest of the vegetables until they're ready) and place it into a paper sack for 10 minutes to sweat.
Ask a question about this stepTo handle the chile or any hot peppers, you may want to wear rubber gloves for this next step. The oil of the pepper can get under your fingernails and burn.

Ask a question about this stepI think the big harvest is in September, but they start showing up in our stores late August or so. Check the grocery stores there. I bet they have the big roasters out already!
sdebrango we either are going to have to fedex you some or you are gonna have to come down to Texas, brave the heat, and we can have Hatch Chili Day in Ginger's Kitchen!!! They are amazing.
I'm afraid I am chili challenged. My sister lives in NM maybe she can send me some, I am gong to assume she knows what they are, Sad thing is I lived and went to college in Texas but maybe way back then hatch chili's were not around or well know, Would love to come to Texas haven't been there for a while and Gingers Kitchen sounds great,
Are Hatch chilies the same chilies that they roast on every street corner in Santa Fe? They are so delicious and the smell is incredible.
They are roasting them outside the store and it does smell delicious!
Thanks! The Central Market here is having their annual "Hatch green chile festival" where they feature lots of items made with the Hatch chiles and of course they're selling the chiles themselves.
Ooops, meant to reply to Lizthechef and ended up commenting instead...
Lucky you to live in Austin - enjoy the festival and I'll try your recipe once we return from Santa Fe/Taos in October!
Love your recipe - where do you get your Hatch chiles? I usually make a trip to NM in October. Thanks!
Going to Santa Fe/Northern NM next week - am I too early for the harvest there?
