Roasting Hatch Green Chiles

What a find!   My local grocery store had Hatch green chiles for 97 cents a pound.  (I just spoke to my sister in the north country and she said they were almost $3 a pound there. )

I bought a few, came home, fired up the grill and started roasting. 

(Notice the corn roasting along side it.  We had that for dinner!)

I read that if you freeze them in this state, they are more easily peeled after they thaw.  As I am running out of time at this point, I think that is where they are going.

What a great night, though.  I started the chiminea and stocked it with pinon wood as I had the chiles roasting.  I thought I was back in Taos.

    What a simple and great way to eat chiles! I love roasting any kind of pepper. I brings out a great richness.
