After living in NM for a few years, I came to love the flavor of the Hatch chili. They aren't spicy, that's for sure. I use jalapenos for spice.

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. ;)

Mmmm, ice cream, it's what's for supper! ;)

Sounds like some good uses for Hatch peppers, much like poblano peppers. Being a recently naturalized Texan, I am still learning peppers.

Try chilies from Diaz Farms in Deming,NM. They have different levels of hot, and anything they say is xtra hot or more is plenty hot enough (or too hot) for anyone. They have green chilies that are hotter than most jalapenos. Their red chile powder is the best ever to cook with, and it comes in different heat levels as well.
