Robert Schueller on hatch chiles

When it comes to nutrition, the hatch chile pepper contains about as much Vitamin C as six oranges. That’s a lot! Another tidbit from Melissa’s Produce’ Robert Schueller, he says that the Hatch Chile pepper make THE BEST chile relleno.

This recipe (Courtesy of Melissa’s Hatch Chile Cookbook available at Melissas.com) calls for roasted hatch chile peppers. Enjoy the roasting guide, here and for more tips, click ROASTING AND PEELING PEPPERS

Roasting and Peeling Peppers

  • The goal is to char the outer skin of the pepper
  • Roast over an open flame on stove top using long-handled tongs
  • Roast over open flame on outdoor grill
  • Place on a sheet pan and roast under the broiler in the oven
    • Tip: set a timer for about 5 minutes so you don’t forget them!
    • Roasting time will take 5-12 minutes depending upon size of the pepper
  • Once roasted, place charred peppers in a paper bag to “sweat”
  • Or, place chile peppers in a pan and cover with a lid
  • Place peppers in a bowl and cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap
  • Once peppers have cooled, wear plastic gloves to remove the outer skin easily and the seeds
