Welcome to Hatch Chile Heaven.I totally, absolutely LOVE Hatch chiles. I love them so much that I created this blog to honor them. I just couldn't help myself; it was love at first bite. I felt like I was in heaven.
If you love Hatch chiles, you feel like you're in Hatch heaven when you're eating them. I'll be sharing lots of Hatch chile recipes here and who knows what will grow from this -- there could be a cookbook.

Be still my heart, Gloria!! I have been stalking the Hatch Chile Roasting team in our town at the local HEB Plus. I can't wait to post the recipes we've been trying! I've been in Chili Pepper heaven.(sigh....)
Are Hatch Chiles a specific variety of chile? Or are they simply chiles grown in Hatch?
Hi Spryte... Yes to both questions. Hatch chiles are probably the best chiles, with the best flavor and bite. They're only available for a limited time in August and September. I'll be doing a post in the next few days about the history of Hatch chiles with links to more information.
I've seen them canned at the grocery store... since canned is the only variety available to me... will I be able to notice a difference if I try them?
Hi Spryte... Fresh is always best. I've used the canned Hatch enchilada sauce before; it's good, but now that I've had the real thing, I can tell you that there's a HUGE difference.
