Hatch Chilies at Albertsons Mkt. in Ventura

[Ross in Ventura]

2.46 lb.. @ $1.49 Hatch chilies I have never seen them in Ventura, I used to drive 90-ml to the City of Industry where there was a vegetable stand that would have them in August I called them but nobody answered.





I roasted them on the Egg and put them into Ziplock bags for 30 min. to sweat.

Skinned and seeded and tasted them, not too hot but tasty.

Vacuum sealed and into the freezer for when I make Green chili Pork Stew.


New Mexico-Style Green Chile and Pork Stew with Potatoes

2 T vegetable oil or more as needed
3 lbs boneless lean pork, cut into ½ to ¾ inch cubes
2 large onions, cut int6o medium dice
5 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 cups chicken stock
2 cups beef stock
¼ cup tomato puree
3 to 9 Hatch chilies, roasted, seeded, peeled, and cut into ½ inch pieces
1 T ground cumin
2 t ground Mexican oregano
2 T mild red chili powder
2 jalapeño chilies, seeded and finely minced
2 T green Tabasco sauce
1 t distilled white vinegar
2 t salt
5 to 6 unpeeled Red Bliss potatoes or other red boiling potatoes, cut into ½ inch dice
Warm flour tortillas and grated Monterey jack cheese for serving.


Heat the 2 T vegetable oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the pork and sauté until grey. Remove from the pan and place in a 4 quart heavy saucepan. Sauté the onions and garlic in the same pan, using a little more oil if needed. Add the cooked onions and garlic, stock, tomato puree, poblanos, cumin, oregano. And chili powder. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook, covered, for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Add the jalapenos, Tabasco, vinegar, salt, and potatoes. Cook, covered, at a simmer, for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Serve in bowls, accompanied with warm flour tortillas and grated Monterey jack cheese.

Serves 10

We have Hatch hot and mild chilies here in Iowa. I saw them in the store for $1.68/#. I want to get some and freeze them.

Picked up half a bushel yesterday. $15 bones. I used to get a whole bushel for that price! But, they are some of the best Hatch's I have had in several years. Picked em up at a local farmers market. The ole farmer does a perfect job of roasting every time. They are so nice and meaty, and the skins slide right off. They are delicious.

Here in Tucson at Safeway they have a big roaster setup outside and sell them by the pound. Have not tried any yet.

You're missing out! I would seek out a roadside stand or farmers market if you can tho. The quality of the chili's is probably better and they usually have folks a lil more skilled on the roaster. Of course you could always do the roasting yourselfs....
