Hatch Green Chile is the bomb.

The best ways to have it are:

Roasted and chopped on a cheese burger
In a Green Chile Stew
Stuffed - which is more of a restaurant thing
or as Huevos Rancheros which is sauce over corn torillas eggs hash browns and beans.

There are tons of over ways enchiladas, chile con queso, sauced on a burrito etc I could go on, but true Hatch Green Chile is something that comes from New Mexico. Good stuff, I am glad they are roasting it in other places, just standing by while they roast it is awesome. Smells so good!

Yup, agree completely. I grow a shit-lot if hatch greens, and reds as well. Use it in our chili recipes, stews, and any sammich including burgers. They are also super-easy to roast and peel.

We stopped by the Jewel event and those Hatch's are great. They were selling cases of them for $30 and had a guy there roasting the whole case at once for free. He had a barrel-sized grill that spins using a motor and had gas burners blasting them from the side as they tumbled. They were roasted and smelling great in just a few minutes.
The ones they had there were medium hot and tasted great! Would be perfect in hot sauce, eggs or chili.

That's how they are typically roasted here.

Every grocery store has a propane tank and a chile roaster out front.

I'll wait a bit longer to get mine, and the place I get mine actually uses a pizza cooker to roast them. They come out consistent and perfect.

6 day update. The jars are in a good fermenting state. I am getting a ton of bubbles(definitely carbonated), which is good and the smell is still great. I have to burp everyday as I do not have jars with a water lock on them. Plan is to let one go 2 weeks and we will then process thru the food processor and add some brine back to get to the consistency I want. The other I am shooting for a month.

Anyways so far so good.

Ok, processed this past weekend, but I will say, it needs some work. For anyone out there that has done sourdough, it actually turned out slightly hoochie. A little too much for my liking. I did salvage it with the addition of lemon juice and a touch of vinegar, but my goal was to have no vinegar in it at all.

I think where I made the mistake was the tomatoes. Tomatoes have a ton of sugar when converted by the yeast, turns to alcohol I believe, not enough to get drunk, but enough to affect the flavor more than I wish...

Will be trying again in a week or 2 without tomatoes.
