That’s right, Hatch Chilies from New Mexico!
I bought a 25 pound box of them yesterday. Today I roasted them on the grill, put them all in the stew pot to steam for half an hour, then peeled and bagged them.
25lbs = 10 quart sized ziplock baggies.
I’m already thinking about getting another box but I won’t roast all of them again. I like to make Chile Rellenos out of this particular pepper because it has a lot of fire. As for how many scoville points these have, I’m not certain, but I can tell you after taste testing one raw, they are HOT!
I had to wiki it…here goes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoville_scale
Claims that these are somewhere around 2,500 — 8,000 Scoville Units (my error, they are units not points).
One box.
One grill.
One stew pot.
Ten one quart ziplock baggies.
Three hours out of my day…
Burning your lips off……Priceless!
