Sprinkle some shredded cheddar on them, then fold over with a green chili inside. Best quesadilla you'll ever have! Yum!<br /><br />I freeze the extra peppers between layers of wax paper in a zip freezer bag. makes it very easy to take out what I need for a recipe.<br /><br />I will say that if you get the hotter ones (we've reached point where we only eat the milder ones,) be sure to wear some gloves. I burnt my hand badly a few weeks ago peeling peppers. I found that soaking my hand in a solution of 1 part clorox to 5 parts water soothed it & took the fire out. I'd tried aloe, cold water, dish detergent & several other common remedies. Only the bleach solution helped.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10001557857341271451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-13202136001127594302013-08-24T13:33:44.025-04:002013-08-24T13:33:44.025-04:00you can put several at a time in seal-up bags,and ...you can put several at a time in seal-up bags,and put them in the freezer----take out what you need,thaw them and peel chop up for your recipe----or leave whole for Chili Rellenos!

Hatch chile corn bread, cheese bread, and so many things I can't think of them. The stores are very inventive with their recipes. And they each have roasters out in the parking lots too!

But you can put Hatch chilis in omelets and frittatas and soups and stews, and, as we saw, even in drinks!<br /><br />Kaye, the Hatch was developed by the University of New Mexico, and I suppose the specialness is partly because it only grown in one place with a limited harvest. But it also has a really unique flavor.<br /><br />Joan, I think the best thing to substitute would be canned green chilis. Not bell peppers--they don't have same taste at all.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11519514786198185277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-31496367573417732332013-08-24T10:36:31.161-04:002013-08-24T10:36:31.161-04:00YOU are so adventurous!

Wish we could get them here. <br /><br />Last night after we finished barbecuing chicken, as the charcoal burned down I threw a bunch of red peppers on the grill and shut the lid. A few hours later the grill was cold and I pulled them out. Not charred but soft and lightly smoked. <br /><br />Refrigerated them. Cut them up and seeded them - and dowsed with a bit of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, S&P. Delicious almost grilled red peppers.Hallie Ephronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04759439029582054503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-81275316812945979452013-08-24T09:11:50.345-04:002013-08-24T09:11:50.345-04:00I'm growing mild chilis in my garden this year...I'm growing mild chilis in my garden this year. I hope to make a chili mix so I can use them all year. Those Hatch chilis at the grocery store sound wonderful.<br /><br />We were on the coast yesterday and lobsters were $3.99/pound right off the boat. They are very plentiful right now. In fact, the lobstermen/women are setting about half the number of traps they normally do because of the glut. So buy lobster! :-)Marianne in Mainenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-19631228630902024862013-08-24T09:08:26.928-04:002013-08-24T09:08:26.928-04:00I love favorite regional foods - how fun!
