Did you catch our YouTube video on Hatch chilies this week?
Last Thursday, we stopped by a local garden center and came home with half a bushel of EXTRA HOT Hatch chile peppers. And we have already enjoyed them in some absolutely DELICIOUS meals including the Hatch Chile Burgers, Hatch Chile Southwest Quinoa, Roasted Hatch Chile Guacamole, Mexican Breakfast Pizzas, and in Hatch Peach Salsa with the Lion’s Mane Crab Cakes.
Yes, all of that since Thursday! If you can get your hands on some fresh Hatch chiles, we highly recommend it – they add a fantastic bold, smoky flavor to so many meals!
Coaching Tip of the Week
What makes a Hatch chile special?
- Where they grow: True Hatch chiles come from the Hatch Valley in New Mexico, where the soil conditions and the hot days and cool nights give them their signature flavor.
- The heat: Their heat is delayed — it sneaks up on you in the very best way!
- Nutritional punch: One medium Hatch chile has more vitamin C than an orange.
They’re versatile, vibrant, and perfect for everything from burgers to breakfast dishes.
