Lets make Green Chile (for lushy)

[gabby]

Starting my huge batch of green chile today and its such a process that I thought I would journal it here instead of of write the recipe. Maybe I will even get some new ideas altho I have done it for at least 25 years every fall and pretty much have it down how we like it anyway. It usually takes me several days cuz I do it in stages.


Today I started with the fresh roasted chile peppers.

For a basic good size batch get a bushel of anahaheim and big jim medium mixed. This wont be to hot. It you want it hotter throw in some hotter peppers. Have the farmer people roast them for you and go home and peel them. Do this by runnin water and just hold the pepper under the water and gently rub the pepper under the water and get all the stuff off and the seeds inside out. There is a green slimey thing in the middle that I get out. Make sure that all the skin is off. when your done chop or dice. I use the food processor be careful not to puree it tho.

Any questions?


I do 2 bushels and some more hotter peppers on top of that.

Tomorrow I will do the pork. I get it at sams and I will tell you what I get. I cant remember.

be back later gettin back to my peppers.

First question. If you grow your own peppers what is the best method for roasting besides having someone else doing it?
Second question. What if someone let their jalapenos get too big and now they have the "skin scab" could one roast the skin off of them and use them with the chiles?

I can't wait for the rest of the recipe. My friends won't share theirs!!

Ok I forgot to say to take the ugly brown curlie thingie off at the top and that helps take the green slimey thing out of the middle. (feel like rosanna danna) and ya might wanna wear gloves especially with the hot peppers. If you dont want real hot chile then just use big jim and anaheim (sp) mix cuz that gives a real good tasteing chile. ya never know how hot the hot the hot chiles really are.

Gabby, this is one of the most exciting threads on this board for a long long, long time. IMHO, of course. I love anything to do with harvesting, canning, preserving .. blah blah.

I, too, will be following this thread as I have some chilli's a'growin'.
