    nannydeb's Notes: Excellent with fajitas, this recipe can be as spicy as you want it to be. In this version, I only used one Hatch "hot" chile and it's mild enough for just about anyone. Use two chiles for...

  4. Once 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.

  5. To 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.

  6. Peel the skin off of the pepper and remove the seeds and stems as well.

  7. Once the rest of the vegetables have roasted, put all of the vegetables into the food processor. Add the chicken stock, lime juice and cumin and pulse blend to your desired consistancy. I like it kind of chunky.

Going to Santa Fe/Northern NM next week - am I too early for the harvest there?

I 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!

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.

Lucky you to live in Austin - enjoy the festival and I'll try your recipe once we return from Santa Fe/Taos in October!
