It's Hatch chile season so after a pancake breakfast Scott & I headed to Central Market. The aroma of roasting chiles is one of my favorite. We never buy much at CM cause it seems that prices are lower at Market Street or Kroger...but not today. The hatch prices at CM are better...so note to self for next year. It was about 29$ for a case (25lbs) of roasted chilies...not much more than if you buy them raw.
It was time for a batch of slow cooked chile verde...so we got a combo of hatch and poblano's. We roasted our own today, but will go back and get a case tomorrow! They freeze great and are so wonderful to add to stuff all year. Last time we got 10 lbs of hot and about choked to death peeling them...we'll get mild this time!
See the chile verde recipe on other posts..but we (Scott did 99% of the work while I did book work in the office...a fair trade) did it with pancetta and in the slow cooker today. It smells like chile heaven...the tortillas are waiting. Now the work is done, a St. Pauli's girl is chilling in my glass and it's time to relax after the first week back with the kids at school. It was a great first week...a blessed first week. It's like having a train leave the station...it just gets faster and you gotta keep up...no stopping it until Christmas.
Maybe this chile verde will help the cool weather come...I'm willing cool weather with chile..sounds like a good strategy to me.
