It's that time of year again! Anyone that has lived in New Mexico knows that life revolves around the long Green Chile, especially in and around Hatch, NM. I lived in Las Cruces, MN for a few years as well as El Paso, TX. Fell in love with the food.
So every August, some years before Sturgis, some years after Sturgis, I get three bushels of LGC that the produce manager at a local grocery store gets for in me. They get roasted, then frozen. I normally run out just as July is coming to an end. Wife and I just spent close to 3 hours cleaning and roasting these. I will break them down into quart freezer bags later on. They have to cool first.
Set aside 2 dozen real nice ones. Wife will be making Chile Rellenos tonight. Few of our friends will pop over to sample them!
