Let me introduce you to a beloved friend of mine; the delicious green chile of the late summer. Lat e summer is chile roasting time with the air filled with that delicious scent of roasted green chiles. But what do you do with these lovely gems? Whether it's Hatch green chiles or Anaheim peppers found around these parts the basic principle is the same. You can roast the chiles yourself over a grill or under the broiler. If you choose to purchase them roasted for you, take them home and either store them in the freezer or take them out and peel off the roasted skin, leaving you with a lovely green chile ready to eat. Green chile enchiladas or fresh salsa, anyone? The rich red chile of autumn is available at summers end when the green chiles are ripening and changing to a bright red color. That's right, red chiles are the same peppers as the green, changing color at the end of their ripening season. All over the southwest you see the beautiful hanging "ristras", or red chile strings, decorating our homes and for sale on our r oadways. These chile strings are not only lovely to look at- they are a great way to dry the bright red fresh-from-the-vine chiles. After the chiles are dried, they can be used to make a red chile sauce (the basis for red enchilada sauce)or a multitude of other red chile dishes. A note on the chile ristras: you may ask if the chile strings have been sprayed with a preservative, as some decorative ristras are to be used solely for decoration purposes. Keep in mind, you don't need to purchase a chile ristra to get dried red chiles.
On September 14,15 & 16 the Tucson Farmers' Markets will be celebrating our annual Chile Festival with lots of fresh, roasted and decorative chiles. Come to the markets and let us set your world on fire with a variety of some great tasting chiles. |
