i just went online to find where to buy "hatch chiles"..couldn't, then this vid popped upon youtube...prophetic

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. 😊

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

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.🌶

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.

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.

Lived in Albuquerque for 8 years, all about Balloon Fiesta & Hatch Chili. I had my first Green Chili Stew @ Gardunos, i was hooked. Now live in Orange County Ca.

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.

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

Indiana and u r the first I ve heard mention Hatch Chile. So thank you, and i love your channel.

Hi, i live in Clyde, Texas. I really appreciate you, thank you for everything.😊.

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.

Thank you! Chattanooga, TN here and I love the Hatch Chile 👍👍

Watching from Albuquerque currently. Never miss a Saturday no matter where I’m at cuz!!!

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!😋

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.

I too am a chile snob. I have been obsessed with NM (Hatch and others...Chimayo!) chiles for years. I am always looking for new recipes and 'excuses' to use chiles in everything.

I grew up on Hatch chili 🌶️😋👩‍🍳

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. 🙏🏻

Like Champagne, it only comes from Champagne France. Hatch chiles in Lubbock Texas every August is a fiesta at our local supermarket!

❤Green chili !!! We don't peel it through, until we defrost. It has a smokier flavor. Pueblo chili is my favorite and Hatch is close 2nd.

Great tips! I just roasted 10# here in Atlanta.

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

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.

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!

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.

Great! Thanks. We lived in Las Cruces 14 yers and are addicted to green chiles.

In southeast Georgia, we have sweet Vidalia onions, which are only grow in the Vidalia area of Georgia and is the best sweet onion. This compares to Hatch growing the most flavorful chile. In Georgia, I have to buy the cans of Hatch Chile, but that is better than nothing.

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.🌶🫑

Hi Marcy: Been watching you lately. Yes, I'm watching from Kirtland, NM. Enjoying all your cooking with chilies. Thanks for sharing your vlog 🙏❤️.

I look forward to going to Hatch someday and getting some of these chilis!

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.

I grew up in Trinidad Colorado, we used to eat green chili stew made with hatch.

Hello Marci Great presentation I’m from El Paso Tx close to Hatch too. Thank You for your KZfaq 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 ❤

So informative, thanks!

Very informative video, thanks! You made my mouth water for chili, lol. 😊

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

I’m in NC so I have to order about 15 lbs & roast them. I only order from Hatch Chile store NM. I roast mine on kingsford charcoal. The extra flavor is great.

San Antonio and I love them

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.

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 ☺️

Thank you for the tips AZ

Hi Marcy....I live in far west Texas & we love Hatch chile. Try to buy some every year, if not green reds perfect!

A single pod has as much vitamin C as 6 oranges. Also has vitamins A, B, E, potassium and calcium. As the chili turns red, C decreases and A increases due to carotene, the chemical that creates the red and orange colors.

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

Hello from San Luis Obispo, California.

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.

Watching from Albuquerque, Nm

Thanks for your videos ❤

Watching from Farmington, NM. Thanks for the tips how to cook my chili's.

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!

Thanks for this video from greater Houston area. I learned a lot!

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!😊

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!

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!!

Absolutely love meatloaf. I will have to try the Hatch chili meat loves. Looks yummy.😊

Great video thank you

Forgot that this weekend is the Hatch Chile Festival

My mother would roast the chile and put them in a bowl and cover them with a wet kitchen towel to steam

Mini chile rellenos! Or stuffed with cream cheese. Mmm. I haven't peeled chiles, poblanos, seems pretty labor intensive. My wonderful husband has done it, when he makes chiles rellenos. I don't know if we can buy hatch here in San Diego. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled. I think I've seen them in cans. (Right when you said you kinda wished you had some beans and a tortilla right now, the subscribe button came up in the corner with a little noise, I thought beans and a tortilla were going to "magically" appear! lol)

Thank you we went two weeks ago to get our fresh chili they are so good ❤

I freeze with the skin on because that is additional flavor. You should try it.

I love your channel. I do like Pueblo chili better though. -RC Colorado Springs

Hey love it Susie Should I be looking for a different name for these Chili’s in the grocery store? They look familiar but I don’t recall the name hatch. However, I’m on my way to the grocery store, and I will make a point of noticing the name. Loved the botanical gardens from Denver!

Marcy, as a New Mexican ex-pat in the southeast, I remember the taste and smell of pinon nuts we harvested outside of Santa Fe. I've been looking for recipes to use the gorgeous nuts from this year's crop I ordered a couple of weeks ago (and froze half). Rather than use the many Italian recipes for these little flavor bombs, it would be great to have a baked good recipe but especially some chili dishes using the flavor and texture of the nuts, both fresh and roasted. Any tricks up your sleeves?

Hi Marcy i have a question after you roast chili and take off the skin do you take out seeds and then bag and freeze them. Thanks love your show ❤

Marcy, where is a good place in Hatch to buy Chiles?

If you had to use dried powdered chile instead of pods, how do convert? Say 10 pods worth of powder? Thanks for all the videos.

Air fryer can roast a chili or pepper evenly and quickly.

will Hatch ship fresh chiles? We live in Tennessee.Does freeze change the flavor?

Thanks for splaining. Have ever roasted them with mesquite wood?

Do you have a video on making Chile rellenos?

If you can't get HATCH chilis, what kind should you use for this?

Is there a specific reason for peeling them?

I like Hatch chike but i like chile from Roswell N.M. better❤

Freezing it with the skin on doesn't take up space in the freezer in fact it presivers the flavor

How would you send chile out of state i would send it raw

I notice you only have green chilies. Are they not as desirable when they turn red????

UR TH(e) B(e)ST

I have friends that live in Cotton city, Animas, Deming, Radium springs that grow chili and sell to Hatch chili producers. Hatch chili is actually grown in a lot of different places around the boot heel part of the state. Just saying..

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!
