Hatch Chilis are Here!

wtgHatch Chilis are Here!
I guess with two of you recommending Hatch chilis I should go for it. At Costco prices, I'd probably get the equivalent of three or four grocery store-size jars...

I decided to wait until another year to try Hatch chiles. Quirt pointed out that my banana pepper plants, both sweet and hot, are producing more than I can eat.
We're thinking of getting a smoker, so smoking peppers could be an interesting option. Hmmm...
Oh yeah.... and smoked foods with peppers. What kind of cooker are you thinking about? That's a very neighborly thing to do there.

I didn't. It's a really big jar and the label says it should be used within 3 weeks of being opened. I wasn't sure I could come anywhere close to eating all of it.
Are you telling me I should reconsider?
I wonder if you could freeze some of it. I don't see why not.

NinaYou can definitely freeze the entire roasted chile pods. I can't think of a reason why you couldn't freeze the stuff in the jar. You might consider putting smaller amounts than the full jar in zip lock bags so you just unthaw what you need for a meal.

MikhailohI saw those at Costco and considered it but declined. I buy my peppers from Bueno Foods out of New Mexico. Great stuff. Only frozen tamales I have ever loved - 3. minutes in the 'wave and you have a good meal. They offer roasted, frozen chiles and they are great for chili and stews.

wtgThe Costco chilis had a lot of salt, if I recall. It was one of the reasons I decided to pass.
I think I've seen the Bueno label around here. I'll make it a point to look for their products at one of our many international grocery markets.

MikhailohThere's lots of places around you. Look 'em up on their website.
I'm telling you their frozen tamales are da bomb. I even have them for breakfast sometimes - nuke up some soft poached eggs to put atop a couple tamales and voila! Breakfast.

I like them, but it's my better half who is a major tamale aficionado.
He is very happy to hear this news.

NinaBueno tortillas are the best. I didn't realize they sold them outside of New Mexico. Yummmm

wtgFind Bueno near you.
https://buenofoods.com/Closest locations that sell their products are in Wisconsin, like 200 miles away.
Portlanders and Seattlites are much more fortunate...

Matt G.Just FYI, Hatch is in southern New Mexico, in the valley of the Rio Grande in Doña Ana county. Mom lives a few miles south of there in Las Cruces. Hatch itself is a cute little farming town.

NinaI learned something-- I didn't even look, just assumed that Bueno was NM-only, just like in the olden days. There are several places here, including one of my regular stores.
I've not tried their frozen tamales--not even sure they made them when I was introduced to their tortillas. I will definitely see if my store carries them. And I'm making enchiladas, just to use the tortillas!
Such an educational evening.
