40 lbs of Hatch, New Mexico chiles arrived from Espanola, NM. The aroma is unbelievable.
The setup. 1. The chiles get roasted; 2. go into to covered pot to steam; 3. get frozen individually on trays; 4. then go into freezer bags.
First chiles on the grill.
A lot of roasting to do.
Intermediate stage: freeze before bagging.
Happy 19th anniversary! Our traditional chile verde meal after roasting the chiles. Figs from our tree.
