In Cincinnati, we tend to eat seasonal. Whatever is in season, can be picked up from the local farmer’s markets and whatever my local Kroger store gets in fresh is typically how we eat. In all honesty, you won’t find me using many frozen products in very many of my recipes here at MyHeavenlyRecipes.com, besides frozen fruits & vegetables. I truly believe in the “Fresh is Best” motto.
A few weeks ago I shared with you over on the My Heavenly Recipes Facebook page a photo of Cotton Candy Grapes that were available for a limited time. Now is the time when Hatch Green Chile arrive in Kroger stores fresh from the growing fields of New Mexico! Did you know there are more chile peppers grown in New Mexico than all other states? That makes it truly the chile capital of the world!
After talking with some friends about this Stuffed Hatch Chili recipe I realized that not many people know about the Hatch Green Chile, just like they didn’t know about the Cotton Candy Grapes. So let me take a few moments to give you a few pointers on Hatch Chiles, K?
- Hatch Chile Peppers have a very small “harvest window”, and the fresh peppers are only available to consumers in August and September.
- Hatch Green Chile’s will be available at Kroger stores for 3 weeks starting Wednesday, August 9, 2017.
- When choosing a Hatch Green Chile look for bright green in color, glossy peppers that are firm with medium to thick flesh, avoid any soft spots.
- You can store your Hatch Green Chili in the refrigerator, unwashed in a plastic bag for up to 5 days.
- If you would like to save the flavors of the green hatch chiles all year round, roast the peppers home, peel them, and then freeze them for up to 12 months.
- Hatch Chiles have a meaty flesh with a mild-medium heat making them ideal to use in Southwestern recipes like Chile Con Queso, Chile Rellenos, and Chile Verde as well as using them in salads, soups, stews, dips, and sandwiches.
