5 of The Best Hatch Green Chile Recipes to Make Right Now
Hatch chile season is here: it’s now or next year!
Hatch chile season is one of the most magical seasons of all. The little green chile that could comes from New Mexico and is the backbone of so many wonderful New Mexican and Southwestern dishes. Hatch season starts at the end of summer and goes into the beginning of fall and if you’ve ever visited the Southwest, you’ve definitely seen the well deserved love for Hatch green chiles.
It’s a strangely famous pepper considering how small the growing season and region is. But I suppose they’re a bit like the grapes of the Champagne region in France – if the grapes aren’t grown in Champagne, what you make from them isn’t really champagne, it’s just sparkling wine. Similarly, you can grow “Hatch” chiles elsewhere but if they’re not grown in the Hatch Valley of New Mexico, they’re not really Hatch chiles. If you haven’t had a Hatch chile, they’re similar to the more common Anaheim chile.
