Green Chili Season in the Southwest!

SamIam · 08-26-2008, 05:50 PM

Ummm, ummmm. I can already smell roasting chili's in the late summer air. The green chili harvest is starting to come in, and we'll be smelling them roasting for the next month. The chili's are put in a huge turnstyle with a hot fire beneath them. The chili's are rolled in their wire mesh cage and the flame burns the waxy skin right off them. You take home your bushel of roasted chili's and make fresh green chili stew and chili rellenos and lots of other delights. Any remaining chili's are frozen against the dire months when fresh chili's are unavailable.

If you will be traveling in the Southwest, pick up some fresh roasted green chili's. You won't regret it!

yep. they're good! supposed to be a great chile harvest this year, too.

"chili" is a spicy meat/bean stew though.

According to the Mirriam-Webster on-line dictionary:

Quote:

1 a: a hot pepper of any of a group of cultivars (Capsicum annuum annuum group longum) noted for their pungency —called also chili pepper but usually chilli plural chillies also chil·lis chiefly British : a pepper whether hot or sweet
2 a: a thick sauce of meat and chilies b: chili con carne

So we are both correct.

They're also great on a burger with cheese and bbq sauce.

You must be somewhere other than New Mexico, Sammie--everyone from there spells it "chile," and they get their panties twisted in a bunch if you spell it the other way!

(untwists panties.)

There is a little farmer's market up the street from us that roasts fresh Hatch green chilies... yummy

we have chile roasters at every supermarket, including Wal-Mart, here. We send frozen green chile care packages to expats.

I've seen dogs look up. They can't crane their heads like we do, but they can do an aproximation of looking up.

Maybe dogs know about the dangers of birds pooping in your eyeballs. Survival of the fittest and all...
