JRF - You have mentioned hatch peppers last week and this week, I don't know anything about them, other than seeing them in HEB last fall and buying a few. I ate a piece of one to see how they are and it wasn't hot. I dried them along with some Serranos and Jalapenos and made a powdered pepper for the shaker. I am open for advice.
I either use the pepper stuffed and baked, or stuffed, breaded, and fried, as an entree.
Mostly, I roast 'em, peel 'em, and puree them with a little salt, pepper, and vinegar, and use them as a condiment/addition to dishes or recipes.
They have a lot of vit. C.
They go great with pork or chicken. And if no-one is watching, it isn't bad on vanilla ice cream either. ;)
