Seasonal Chili Fix

[Raoul Duke]

This past week one of the local Paso Robles markets had been offering Hatch chiles for $.97 cents/pound. Sold by the pound or 35# burlap sack full. They also provide free roasting in the parking lot which is a great marketing tool. What's available in your area?

We paid $1.15 here for Hatch chilis.

We are talking about this season's Hatch chiles in this topic.

Personally I am dealing with a vast load of habaneros on a single small plant. Bags full are already in the freezer and I have checked the past habanero topics for ideas. There is a roasted habaneros in honey concept I find intriguing, as well as a hot sauce.

Heidi, you might want to start with Pepper Fool

I personally think Rob has the best chile recipes anywhere.

Check the list under "Holidays" and under Desserts.

Under "Chutney" you will find one of my favorites, "Firecracker Applesauce" I love it with bratwurst or just with pork sausage patties.

His "Canning" list for peppers is longer than any others I have found.

I am having a great habanero harvest this year too.. Depending on just how loco you are , grilled, bacon wrapped habanero poppers are a wicked way to use them up. I made up a batch recently for a family get together , along with jalapeno ones for the less adventurous members of the fam.

Basically a filling of mushroom , bacon, garlic, cream cheese, parm, and my own dry rub and hot spice mixes. stuffed into seeded cut in half habs, ( or jalapenos) then wrapped with bacon and grilled indirect on the smoker til the bacon goes crispy.

Holy crow that sounds amazing! Guess what I'm making next?
