Another Hatch Chile Post...... and some sauce

Scored two cases of Hatch chiles from the store. (.99lb) I had too much going on to roast them myself, so I let the chile guys do it this time. ( I'm a slacker). :grin:

These were Young Guns Hatch Chiles. I bought 2 boxes of mild.







I bagged several for the freezer....





and canned a bunch of hatch green chile sauce for winter...



added the chiles to sauteed onions and garlic..



chicken stock and seasonings...



simmered to get the flavor and texture I wanted..made a slurry to thicken.



then into the sterilized jars...







into the pressure canner at 12lbs...





I'm set for awhile...





I've been eating this sauce with corn chips..



and made green chile huevos rancheros a few times....





I'm enjoying the chiles. Hatch are one of my favorites and this batch from Young Guns has been pretty tasty so far.

Thanks for looking!

Inspired me look up this Hatch pepper http://www.chron.com/life/food/article/A-short-history-on-how-the-Hatch-chile-became-a-6445402.php

Chiles are so completely under-appreciated. Crazy nuance to them. See this Hatch Valley variant. Totally interesting.

lol Thanks Adams! :mrgreen:
A slacking Angel. I would have blistered my own chiles on the block pit but my "cookin' rake" was delegated to other areas of the farm.

Good luck with the trout, hope you catch your limit!

Sometimes they are less than .99 but I didn't have time to shop around. Good luck with yours!
