Thank you New Mexico, for teaching us Hatch Green Chili Stew. I remember line cooking many years ago in Santa Fe, the first thing I was asked was if I knew about Hatch Chilies. Next to nothing is what I knew, but I quickly learned as it is a deeply rooted part of there culture. I happened to be there during their harvest, and with it being widely celebrated through out the state we had six wine dinners spread across the hotel featuring multiple dishes, with these chilies at the forefront. Oh and it is early for its season and I could not wait until August, freeze dried and re-hydrated is the way to go. #greenchilifestival #chili
