I grew up in NM and it’s an annual family tradition to roast and freeze Hatch green chile that brings our family together. It’s a bonding experience for generations. TY for spot lighting our heritage of local foods and traditions.🌶
You are the best. I'm in Missouri. A transplant from CA. I just roasted a small bag of Anaheim's so I can make some more chicken tamales with green chilies. Next time you have breakfast and you don't feel rushed sauté some diced onions and green chilies then scramble that w/eggs. Serve with salsa, avocado and sour cream. Also tortillas of your choice. It is the best
Thank you so much! I now live in Florida after 40 years of living in Albuquerque and I sure miss my chile! Chile on my pizza, eggs, burgers, burritos, everything! Thank you for keeping me connected to the 505 at least on the internet. I order hot red chile powder from Albuquerque and make red Chile sauce for enchiladas. 🙏🏻
I’m so happy I could bring a little bit of New Mexico to you in Florida. I think it’s when we move away that we have a greater appreciation for what a special state it is. ❤️🌶️
I got my 25lb box all roasted, vacuum sealed and in the freezer. You are a true chile expert and I agree with every thing you did here. You do great videos and I really enjoy every one of them. Thank you to you and your husband for your wonderful channel. 😊
Good for you. I always love the feeling of looking in my freezer and seeing all the bags of chile. Very satisfying. Thanks so much for watching and leaving such a nice comment. 🌶️
When I bring mine home from being roasted I just sit in the car and inhale the aroma of the roasted chili. Honestly I don't want to get out of the car . It smells so good in an enclosed space.
We never tried hatch chile till last year after watching huell howsers video for half my life, we made the pilgrimage to hatch and bought our first sack and brought it back to Southern California. Thank you for this video we now know how to work with them and would make the trip again to get more
Great video. I cut the stems off before bagging in quart size freezer bags. I do freeze mine with the skin on and just defrost partly, then put in some hot water in bag and gently massage the bag. Most of the skin comes off that way. The only reason I don’t peel the as soon as I get them (which I have done in the past) is it takes a long time to peel a burlap sack full of roasted chile. I live in southeast New Mexico
That's a great tip about massaging the bag when the chile is thawing.You're right about it being a lot of work when you roast a whole 30lb. sack. Thanks for watching.
❤l live by denver my grandma connie and aunt Jane was my child hood influence to southwest cooking they are both gone now but not there memoŕy😊 my grandpa used to make tortillas with me what smells and memories now that I am 70 it is part of my life😊 and and God bless all of you and all who are teaching me one of lifes blessings 😊l was in the navy been around the world and have seen how orientals cook we all cook with love thanks for time ❤ rafael
Hi Marcy, I live in Tucson now, but I grew up in Albuquerque. This video brought back some good memories of my childhood. During "chile season" it was a tradition for neighbors to gather at the Padilla's home to roast green chile. Families brought their charcoal grills to the Padilla's driveway and made a day of it. Oh the smell of that chile roasting...I am in heaven just remembering! My parents transplanted from Michigan to NM when I was 6 weeks young. New Mexico is my home.
What a sweet memory. I can picture it all in my mind. Hope you’ve been able to stay connected to the Padilla family. They sound like great people who would love having you visit. Btw, we were in Tucson last week and had lunch at El Charro Cafe. It was excellent. 👌🏼
We love Chile! My Dad use to grow acres of them on the east side of NM at Floyd NM they were delicious, he also sold them to! They were just like Hatches! And yes to this day I roast, fry, can them, and I even dehydrated roasted Chile as a snack so so delicious! I loved your video! Job well done!❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this video. I learned how to roast my own chile by your video. We always buy it in big bushels and get it roasted at the location we go to buy it. We really like the chile steamed after it's roasted. You know when you go to your location you want to get it roasted at, they put it in big bags. That does the steaming for us. It just takes so long for it to cool down when we get home. We usually take it outside and open up the bags and let it cool as much as possible so that we can even touch it to put in freezer bags. We never peel our chili ahead of time. We peel it after we take it out of the freezer. We tried one time to peel our chiles before we froze them, and it took forever. It actually took hours. We find it easier if you take them out of the freezer and then peel them. We have found that if you take them out of the freezer , it's better to leave them partially frozen. That way the Skins come off quickly and easy. We have never made chili rellenos. I hope you have a video on how to make them.
Roasting & peeling large amounts of chile is definitely a labor of love. Glad you found this video educational. Here's my video for how I make chile rellenos, as well as a delicious recipe for chile relleno soup: th-cam.com/video/Tjb31tNGTEs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=etmjEAlpy02hARaM th-cam.com/video/3sKtZvjn2_M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2YYZQ-azi4-NGpQG
Hola, soy de México y radico en Houston, en casa nos encanta el chile Hatch, cada año esperamos con ansias la temporada del Hatch, porqué comienza a llegar a los supermercados locales, cada año adquirimos algunos y hacemos algunos ricos platillos con chile Hatch. Greetings from Houston, everyone !!
I just moved from cruces to NY and I’ve been DYING. Our local grocery store had a seasonal special of Hatch chilies and you’ve saved my life tonight. So much love
OMG, one of us is 🔮 psychic!!! I used to work in Flagstaff as a school bus driver, some of my most favorite times in my life!! I have been thinking that at this time of year, Flagstaff used to smell sooooo yummy because they were roasting Hatch Chiles in 2 parts of town. The aroma was sooooo yummy 😋 and the taste of them on everything or alone is delicious. OMG!! Hatch chilis have been in my brain bouncing around. We now live in CA 😢😢😢😢. I really miss this time of year there. I used to eat them right out of the bag all the way home. 🌶 🌶 🌶 🌶 🌶 They are roasted in these huge tanks, and the waiting was worth it. Thank you so much for putting pictures to my dreams. 😊😊
Chattanooga, how do you access the NM chile? I live in KY and don’t have access to this chile. Walmart carries the small, eight oz cans, but I want the real thing-the fresh chile without having to drive all the way to Hatch.
Marcy, you're so right! It's easy to go through Hatch chiles a lot faster than you planned for. We have a restaurant here in Tucson dedicated to New Mexico cooking and specifically Hatch chiles in many items. I love the Southwest!
I live north of Fort Collins Colorado. Thank you for the tips! I grew for the first time this year some "Big Jim's". I am a rookie so I appreciate your tips.
Grew up in Albuquerque, NM, but now living in New Jersey. I just ordered some hatch green chile from the Hatch Green Chile company, and I will need to roast and peel them before storing in my freezer. This video is a great help on how to do this. Thank You!!!
I love cooking and discovered Hatch chilis about 5 years ago. They have leveled up my cooking. Your video showed me a couple of new tricks. I have yet to master the relleno, which is my favorite food.
Greetings. We love chiles rellenos and I have been using the recipe found in the Sunset Mexican Cook Book for over 40 years. Of the three coatings featured, we prefer Coating 2 (Puffy) and the recipe for the Salsa de Jitomate on the next page is simple and delicious. Good luck finding this cook book!
Hi Marcy! I want say Merry Christmas to you and family! I found you a few months back when searching for really good New Mexico recipes’ you are just a beautiful soul! Thank you for sharing! Don’t ever stop! My parents live in Moriarty, New Mexico. Peace ☮️ Yvonne 😊
My kids, my dad, and that side of my family are from New Mexico going way back. I grew up eating the Chiles from there. I just picked up a sack of roasted Hatch Chiles out here in So Cal and really enjoyed your video. I learned a few things about handling them after roasting! Thanks you.
Every year in August I go to my favorite grocer and look for their sale on Hatch green chiles. I live in Phoenix so it's a little bit of a drive to go to Hatch NM, although I have been through there in August in the mid 90's when working in N.M. I can usually get them for $.99 a pound in season but mostly these days they are about $1.49 a pound. I usually wind up with about 20+ pounds of them, roast them over my three-burner propane outdoor cooker. I haver peeled them both ways, dropped in a bucket of cold water and put in plastic bags for an hour or two. I agree with your cold water results. As for freezing, I place then flat on parchment paper on a large cookie sheet and freeze them. When frozen I can place them by the hand full in large zip-loc baggies and put them back in the freezer. They are available one at a time or as many as you want without having to tear them apart from each other. 🤠
I'm so glad I found your channel. I love learning something new everyday and today I have watched three of your videos and sure learned a lot about Mexican cooking. Thanks.
I buy my Hatch chilis every year here in Peoria, AZ. in August. Reference freezing, would your recommend freezing the chilis on a big cooking sheet and then placing them in large freezer bags so you could pick out as many as you need without thawing the rest of them out. I have done this same thing with hot dogs and it works beautifully. I've been through Hatch New Mexico in August. Absolutely gorgeous. If you are ever in La Mesilla, NM (Las Cruces) you have got to try "La Posta" Mexican food restaurant. Every time I travel through Southern New Mexico l ways stop there.
I'm a chile addict from Carlsbad, NM who has moved to Ecuador. I didn't realize how addicted I was to Hatch chile until I couldn't smell that heavenly aroma of roasting chile at the stores in the fall. As soon as I got to Ecuador, I bought some seeds and planted my own chile, but I had little experience in roasting them, so your video was very helpful. It's wonderful to be able to grow my own crop of chile, but I still miss the annual mouth-watering New Mexico experience of chile shopping!
Just bagged and tagged my first batch. I bought it at a all organic farm in Belen, the chile was nice and meaty and had good heat but didn't linger too long! I was real happy! I got about 25 bags outta it so I need a little more, the crop has been delayed for some reason from Hatch, that's why I went to a local farmer. I also bought a lot of sweet corn from Olathe Colorado and froze that, It was so sweet and good! Nice segment and tips!!
Oh wow! I have never thought to freeze my own corn! I’m having one of those “duh” moments. 🌽🙄Good for you that you got 25 bags of chile done, too. Way to represent. 🌶️👌🏼
Living in an ocean town in Oregon and we have hatch green chili's in our grocery stores right now! Just roasted some in the oven as I don't have a gas stove anymore. Love the way the house smells when I roast them!! I always look for Marcy inspired recipes when I want something Mexican.
Well Marci I am glad I watched this video before ordering Hatch chilies. I was thinking about getting them already roasted and cleaned and frozen. I have decided to order a 25 pound box of fresh medium chilies. I will be working alone on top of my toy hauler stove top. My plan is to put them in the fridge as soon as they show up here in Western Oregon. Then roast, clean and freeze a few every day for the next week until they're done. Or when I'm done whichever comes first lol. If I run into trouble then I'll do the best I can and give away what I can't get around to. I'm sure I can do at least 15 pounds. So I could order 10 pounds but for $15 more I can get a extra 15 pounds. I have a extra freezer in the garage so when I get done roasting and freezing the chilies they have a place to chill out until they are used.
It’s always fun going in person over Labor Day weekend when the festival is going on. But you can always try looking for Hatch chile at your grocery store. Many times it’s sold in the freezer section. Look for “Young Guns Hatch chile.” You can also find it in a jar. 505 Southwestern is a good brand. Thanks for watching.
My older daughter in San Antonio loves hatch chilis and I will try some. I have been a poblano fan but am interested in chopping some hatch for scrambled eggs and buttered hot tortillas for breakfast. Going to try your rellanos with chorizo. Thank you. I live in Kerrville but have spent most of my 87 years in Houston and Alpine, all in Texas......nobody is perfect.
Hola Marcy saludos desde Albuquerque NM, la verdad que Tenemos un green chile delicioso. Gracias por tus videos y tus consejos! me gusta que pones en Alto a nuestra land of enchantment y sus valores ☺️
I'm from Manhattan Beach and my Dad was from New Mexico. I still have relatives there and they sent me home with hatch green chilies one year so I've been ordering them fresh since then. I love to make Posole de Posada a couple of times a year! Thanks for a great video!
Watching from Dunedin Florida. I fell in love with Hatch chiles when I was in NM. Can't wait to get my order of chiles to prepare to freeze. Love your channel Marcy!
We live in Alabama. When we order chili the shipping is cost more than the chili. So we order 50lbs. It's usually late in the day when it is delivered so I refrigerate till I can get them roasted. Usually 2 days because I do them in the oven. I do freeze them with the skin on because it is so time consuming. Also we did Lumbra and I didn't use gloves. I found that washing your hands with toothpaste removes the heat. I love your videos. I have many of your recipes I am going to try.
*waving* from WA! Just discovered Hatch chiles, and a great local source. Must go back and buy a slew more! Now, I know what to do with them!! Oh gosh...Hatch Rellenos...sounds so good! Thank you for this informative video!
Love your videos, the music, sights...very good content! Found your channel while looking for a sopaipillas recipe after visiting NM for the first time. I look forward to your next video!! Going to Hatch with you!😊
Thank you for this video, it was very helpful. Just yesterday we came home from visiting friends in Las Cruces and they took us to Hatch where I got to bags full of just roasted Hatch peppers. What a treat!!!!! I am and have been obsessed by roasted peppers and love just about everything Mexican when it comes to food. I had the best ever huevos rancheros with green sauce in Mesilla and can't stop talking about it. I hope to see lots of your recipes....I have liked and subscribed. Thank you again.
Ha Ha! Brought back memories in Colo of trucks and people knocking on doors selling green chili. They would let you taste one and if you liked it you could buy a bushel or what you wanted. Loved that smell of roasting chili.
Hi Marcie! I have a lil suggestion for U! Try putting Ur pot handles inward towards the stovetop, so nobody runs into them! Like kids, if U had some over or even adults- Ive seen grown ups get burned by running into handles! Js! Meal looks lovely! 🖤
Hi Marcy! I just found your channel & subscribed. This gringo girl is excited to cook some of your yummy recipes. 😊You are easy to follow & you have a very nice calming voice. Thanks for the lesson on Hatch green chilis.
Thanks for subscribing. I'm so happy you found my channel. My goal is to make the foods I love accessible to everyone. If there's ever a specific recipe you'd like to see, feel free to let me know in the comments, or on my social media.
As always the best (and only) videos I watch about green chile info. Thanks for including the part we talked about a couple weeks ago re: avoiding the "power washed" method that some folks fall for when buying roasted chiles in Hatch! We currently live in Austin but will be moving to Las Cruces next year!
Hello Marci Great presentation I’m from El Paso Tx close to Hatch too. Thank You for your TH-cam show LOVE IT. I like ALL ur different recipes I also like your capirotada recipe we( my family) are BIG traditional family and love making it. Thank You ❤
We live in Indiana and love Mexican food! My husband and I attended the 40th Balloon Festival a few years ago. Love New Mexico and wish I could live there. So beautiful and the sky is so blue there.
Love Hatch chili s, and make a verde salsa using them here in Tucson. Thanks for the idea of chili rellono using Hatch chilies, I had always used Pablonno chilis.
thank you for a very fine video . the wife and i love chile relenos i just wish she would make them with the egg batter once in a while she makes hers with un cooked tortilla dough then deep fried still very good cant complain .. ps love your videos
That sounds interesting. I’ve never heard of chile rellenos made with tortilla dough, but if it tastes good, that’s all that matters. Thanks so much for watching. Here’s a link to my chile rellenos video, in case you want to give it a try: th-cam.com/video/Tjb31tNGTEs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AcBCvPccB7o_QqyT
I just got my bag of the Hatch Chiles from Costco. Before I watched this video, I just sliced and stir-fried them with other vegetables or proteins. They tasted fresh and maintained a crunchy texture.
Hello I am from Albuquerque. Needless to say I too ! am a Chile Addict! I’m very well familiar with all the different types of Chile and all the process. But I am not sure if you have a video , on how to can green Chile? I would love to see this. This is my first time watching your channel as I came across it by fluke I’m a fan and consider myself hooked. Can’t wait to see all your videos. Thank you
I haven't shared canning green chile. Maybe I can do that at some point in the future. Meantime, I'm so happy you found my channel, and hope that you find lots of recipes you love. I've featured lots of New Mexico dishes. Thanks for watching.
Hi Marcy I’m watching from El Paso,Texas about 40 minutes away from Las Cruces NM. Love your channel and your recipes are authentic. We also buy them roasted by the case, peel them ourselves then put into ziplock bags and freeze. I make green chicken chili enchiladas, green chili caldillo and also make rajas con queso using green chili instead of poblanos. Thank you again for all your amazing recipes and information. Blessings to you and your family.
Great tip on the water shock method. I'm going to try that next year with some of mine. They'd be perfect for rellenos as I'm a disaster at making them, even when using gigantic poblanos. Mine pretty much always turn into "Plan B"...'relleno casserole' because I not very good at splitting them and many end up tearing apart completely. Just never got the hang of it. Also, the firmer ones would be good as rajas in chicken tamales. Our old neighbor, the proverbial abuelita, would make hers in the standard way as far as the chicken in salsa verde but then she would add a raja of jicama (I think, but it might have been potato) and green chile laid over the chicken, no cheese. I have no idea where she moved away to years ago but her tamales are imprinted onto my brain for life.
For those of us who think we know everything there is to know about roasting, preparing and storing chilis, there is always something more to learn. Thank you for taking the time to share this. As for me and my house, we will always have Hatch chili available.🌶🫑
I grew up in NM and it’s an annual family tradition to roast and freeze Hatch green chile that brings our family together. It’s a bonding experience for generations. TY for spot lighting our heritage of local foods and traditions.🌶
That's so cool, I love traditions like that.
@@bradkrit thank you. As our loved ones pass it’s our tradition to make sure future generations carry on 🙏🏼
For fans like me, Hatch green chile season is like an early Christmas! They're so versatile and delicious.
You are the best. I'm in Missouri. A transplant from CA. I just roasted a small bag of Anaheim's so I can make some more chicken tamales with green chilies. Next time you have breakfast and you don't feel rushed sauté some diced onions and green chilies then scramble that w/eggs. Serve with salsa, avocado and sour cream. Also tortillas of your choice. It is the best

I got about 25 bags outta it so I need a little more, the crop has been delayed for some reason from Hatch, that's why I went to a local farmer. I also bought a lot of sweet corn from Olathe Colorado and froze that, It was so sweet and good! Nice segment and tips!!
Oh wow! I have never thought to freeze my own corn! I’m having one of those “duh” moments. 🌽🙄Good for you that you got 25 bags of chile done, too. Way to represent. 🌶️👌🏼
Forgot that this weekend is the Hatch Chile Festival
Yep. Always a good time. We’ll be there today. 🌶️👌🏼
Living in an ocean town in Oregon and we have hatch green chili's in our grocery stores right now! Just roasted some in the oven as I don't have a gas stove anymore. Love the way the house smells when I roast them!! I always look for Marcy inspired recipes when I want something Mexican.
use airfryer
Colorado Flatlands here! Work at Tigges Farm, Windsor, during chili season. Love to learn, thanks for sharing.
Well Marci I am glad I watched this video before ordering Hatch chilies.
I was thinking about getting them already roasted and cleaned and frozen.
I have decided to order a 25 pound box of fresh medium chilies.
I will be working alone on top of my toy hauler stove top. My plan is to put them in the fridge as soon as they show up here in Western Oregon. Then roast, clean and freeze a few every day for the next week until they're done. Or when I'm done whichever comes first lol.
If I run into trouble then I'll do the best I can and give away what I can't get around to. I'm sure I can do at least 15 pounds.
So I could order 10 pounds but for $15 more I can get a extra 15 pounds.
I have a extra freezer in the garage so when I get done roasting and freezing the chilies they have a place to chill out until they are used.
Most informative video I’ve seen on Hatch chilies !
Very informative video, thanks! You made my mouth water for chili, lol. 😊
Thank you so much for watching! Hope you’re getting your chile on now! Lol
I look forward to going to Hatch someday and getting some of these chilis!
It’s always fun going in person over Labor Day weekend when the festival is going on. But you can always try looking for Hatch chile at your grocery store. Many times it’s sold in the freezer section. Look for “Young Guns Hatch chile.” You can also find it in a jar. 505 Southwestern is a good brand. Thanks for watching.
My older daughter in San Antonio loves hatch chilis and I will try some. I have been a poblano fan but am interested in chopping some hatch for scrambled eggs and buttered hot tortillas for breakfast. Going to try your rellanos with chorizo. Thank you. I live in Kerrville but have spent most of my 87 years in Houston and Alpine, all in Texas......nobody is perfect.
Hola Marcy saludos desde Albuquerque NM, la verdad que Tenemos un green chile delicioso.
Gracias por tus videos y tus consejos!
me gusta que pones en Alto a nuestra land of enchantment y sus valores ☺️
Gracias a usted. Estoy muy orgullosa de mi estado natal y me encanta mostrarlo. ❤️🌶️
Yeeees!!
Watching from Tucumcari new Mexico great video I keep learning something every time I watch your videos thankyou and God bless ❤😊
Great information. Thank you. Hatch out 🌶️
I'm from Manhattan Beach and my Dad was from New Mexico. I still have relatives there and they sent me home with hatch green chilies one year so I've been ordering them fresh since then. I love to make Posole de Posada a couple of times a year! Thanks for a great video!
Watching from Dunedin Florida. I fell in love with Hatch chiles when I was in NM. Can't wait to get my order of chiles to prepare to freeze. Love your channel Marcy!
Hello to you in Florida! Glad you're able to get your Hatch chile fix out there. Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for this video Marcy I’m a bachelor who never paid attention how my mother handled Hatch Chili
So informative, thanks!
Thank YOU! Glad it was helpful!😊
Great tips! I just roasted 10# here in Atlanta.
That’s so cool that you found Hatch chile in Atlanta! 👌🏼
Hatch Chili's are the best in the world! Going to Albuquerque in Sept and I plan on getting a boat load of them! Yum!😋
My mouth was watering all through this video. Thanks! Btw, Pueblo chiles are also very good!
We live in Alabama. When we order chili the shipping is cost more than the chili. So we order 50lbs. It's usually late in the day when it is delivered so I refrigerate till I can get them roasted. Usually 2 days because I do them in the oven. I do freeze them with the skin on because it is so time consuming. Also we did Lumbra and I didn't use gloves. I found that washing your hands with toothpaste removes the heat. I love your videos. I have many of your recipes I am going to try.
*waving* from WA! Just discovered Hatch chiles, and a great local source. Must go back and buy a slew more! Now, I know what to do with them!! Oh gosh...Hatch Rellenos...sounds so good! Thank you for this informative video!
Love your videos, the music, sights...very good content! Found your channel while looking for a sopaipillas recipe after visiting NM for the first time. I look forward to your next video!! Going to Hatch with you!😊
I’m so happy you found my channel. Be sure to stop and say Hi if you see me at the festival. 🌶️❤️
Thank you for this video, it was very helpful. Just yesterday we came home from visiting friends in Las Cruces and they took us to Hatch where I got to bags full of just roasted Hatch peppers. What a treat!!!!! I am and have been obsessed by roasted peppers and love just about everything Mexican when it comes to food. I had the best ever huevos rancheros with green sauce in Mesilla and can't stop talking about it. I hope to see lots of your recipes....I have liked and subscribed. Thank you again.
I agree about the water when roasting. It rips them up
Ha Ha! Brought back memories in Colo of trucks and people knocking on doors selling green chili. They would let you taste one and if you liked it you could buy a bushel or what you wanted. Loved that smell of roasting chili.
Hi Marcie! I have a lil suggestion for U! Try putting Ur pot handles inward towards the stovetop, so nobody runs into them! Like kids, if U had some over or even adults- Ive seen grown ups get burned by running into handles! Js! Meal looks lovely! 🖤
Great! Thanks. We lived in Las Cruces 14 yers and are addicted to green chiles.
Excellent thanks 🌹💯on roasted peppers I like the skin too😝👍 like poblanos I keep the skin on for flavor 🤤
I've bought Hatch chiles in a can before, but I just bought fresh ones for the first time, so thanks very much for this great video!
Thank you so much! I think I've made every mistake with roasting, peeling and freezing chiles for 50+years! I'll do better in the future!
Hi Marcy! I just found your channel & subscribed. This gringo girl is excited to cook some of your yummy recipes. 😊You are easy to follow & you have a very nice calming voice. Thanks for the lesson on Hatch green chilis.
Thanks for subscribing. I'm so happy you found my channel. My goal is to make the foods I love accessible to everyone. If there's ever a specific recipe you'd like to see, feel free to let me know in the comments, or on my social media.
Hi Marcy:
Been watching you lately. Yes, I'm watching from Kirtland, NM. Enjoying all your cooking with chilies.
Thanks for sharing your vlog 🙏❤️.
Thanks so much. I appreciate you watching.
As always the best (and only) videos I watch about green chile info. Thanks for including the part we talked about a couple weeks ago re: avoiding the "power washed" method that some folks fall for when buying roasted chiles in Hatch! We currently live in Austin but will be moving to Las Cruces next year!
You are too kind. Yes, after our exchange, I thought it was important to share my experience with everyone else. Best of luck to you on that move.
Hello Marci Great presentation I’m from El Paso Tx close to Hatch too. Thank You for your TH-cam show LOVE IT. I like ALL ur different recipes I also like your capirotada recipe we( my family) are BIG traditional family and love making it. Thank You ❤
We live in Indiana and love Mexican food! My husband and I attended the 40th Balloon Festival a few years ago. Love New Mexico and wish I could live there. So beautiful and the sky is so blue there.
So excited to find Hatch chilies at Harris Teeter in SC today so had to rewatch how to roast and store. Thank you for your information
Very helpful. Love knowing how to deal with them in different circumstances for a variety of uses. Thank you
I live in hatch and I stock up on chili and onions I really like your recipes
Rookie from Falls Church - can't wait to try my first bag.
Thanks for the tips! Watching from Anaheim, California! God Bless!
Live in casa grande az raised on Hatch green chile and red Chile likedyour pointers
Thank you Marcy for your Hatch Chile tips. I love making salsa and chile rellenos. I will definitely use these tips in the near future!
Glad you found this helpful. Thanks for watching!
Love Hatch chili s, and make a verde salsa using them here in Tucson. Thanks for the idea of chili rellono using Hatch chilies, I had always used Pablonno chilis.
Thank you for the great video tutorial! So much useful information. Informative and greatly appreciated!
Hi Marcy....I live in far west Texas & we love Hatch chile. Try to buy some every year, if not green reds perfect!
I’m with you. Red or green, I’ll take it! Glad you get to enjoy it where you live.
Thank you we went two weeks ago to get our fresh chili they are so good ❤
You went at the perfect time. We always go during the festival when it’s crazy busy. But it’s still fun.
@@marcyinspired1442 we use to but it's so nice without all the crowds no hurry
Like Champagne, it only comes from Champagne France. Hatch chiles in Lubbock Texas every August is a fiesta at our local supermarket!
You got it! Thanks for the comment.
Good video. I'm new to Hatch chiles and the tips were very helpful. Thank you, Marcy.
Very informative video. Thank you. Time to go roasting from Goodyear AZ
Great intro. Thanks from NW Arizona.
Thanks for this video from greater Houston area. I learned a lot!
Never heard if hatch chili's before. Thanks
thank you for a very fine video . the wife and i love chile relenos i just wish she would make them with the egg batter once in a while she makes hers with un cooked tortilla dough then deep fried still very good cant complain .. ps love your videos
That sounds interesting. I’ve never heard of chile rellenos made with tortilla dough, but if it tastes good, that’s all that matters. Thanks so much for watching. Here’s a link to my chile rellenos video, in case you want to give it a try: th-cam.com/video/Tjb31tNGTEs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AcBCvPccB7o_QqyT
From Cali. I've been eating Hatch Chile for over 60 yrs. No other Chile will do. Red Chile for my Tamales.
Very nice summary your experience shows, thank you. Ice bath integral step.
I just got my bag of the Hatch Chiles from Costco. Before I watched this video, I just sliced and stir-fried them with other vegetables or proteins. They tasted fresh and maintained a crunchy texture.
Curious on your Costco location that carries the fresh chiles. Where?
👍
Thanks for watching. 😊
Very good information Thank you can't wait to try from Olpe,Ks
Hello I am from Albuquerque. Needless to say I too ! am a Chile Addict! I’m very well familiar with all the different types of Chile and all the process. But I am not sure if you have a video , on how to can green Chile? I would love to see this. This is my first time watching your channel as I came across it by fluke I’m a fan and consider myself hooked. Can’t wait to see all your videos. Thank you
I haven't shared canning green chile. Maybe I can do that at some point in the future. Meantime, I'm so happy you found my channel, and hope that you find lots of recipes you love. I've featured lots of New Mexico dishes. Thanks for watching.
Hi Marcy I’m watching from El Paso,Texas about 40 minutes away from Las Cruces NM. Love your channel and your recipes are authentic. We also buy them roasted by the case, peel them ourselves then put into ziplock bags and freeze. I make green chicken chili enchiladas, green chili caldillo and also make rajas con queso using green chili instead of poblanos. Thank you again for all your amazing recipes and information. Blessings to you and your family.
Watching from Farmington, NM. Thanks for the tips how to cook my chili's.
Hello to you in Farmington. Thank you so much for watching!
The ice water method looks like a great way to do pablanos.
Thank you for the tips AZ
Watching from Albuquerque, Nm
thanks for sharing, two thumbs up. Anacortes WA
Great tip on the water shock method. I'm going to try that next year with some of mine. They'd be perfect for rellenos as I'm a disaster at making them, even when using gigantic poblanos. Mine pretty much always turn into "Plan B"...'relleno casserole' because I not very good at splitting them and many end up tearing apart completely. Just never got the hang of it. Also, the firmer ones would be good as rajas in chicken tamales. Our old neighbor, the proverbial abuelita, would make hers in the standard way as far as the chicken in salsa verde but then she would add a raja of jicama (I think, but it might have been potato) and green chile laid over the chicken, no cheese. I have no idea where she moved away to years ago but her tamales are imprinted onto my brain for life.
I grew up on Hatch chili 🌶️😋👩🍳
Love it!
San Antonio and I love them
And I love San Antonio. One of my favorite cities to visit.
For those of us who think we know everything there is to know about roasting, preparing and storing chilis, there is always something more to learn. Thank you for taking the time to share this. As for me and my house, we will always have Hatch chili available.🌶🫑
