And roasting!!!

Yep, the first of this season's Hatch chiles are arriving in town. I
went to one of the little produce markets around here, and they were
selling sacks of chiles, and the roasters were set up in the parking
lot. No roasting was going on,fortunately, or I would be in bad shape
right now, especially on an empty stomach. The aroma of roasting
chiles is intoxicating!!!

The loose chiles I saw in the market did look sort of anemic but I am
chalking that up to being just the start of Hatch chile season.

The smell of roasting chiles.. is a bit of heaven!! :-)
When exactly is the height of the Hatch chili season? What is a
good price for roasted chiles in your area?

(Sorry to be so lazy to look it up... but I would like to share
with others here, through you.)

Thank you Christine

The height of Hatch chile season comes about September...and the Hatch
chile festival is on Labor Day weekend. Which is also (shameless
plug!) the weekend of the New Mexico Cook-in!!!! The height should
be around Labor Day weekend...and running into September.

I don't know a good price for them yet. I might have to wait til a
bit later in the season.... They were selling the chiles for $20 for
a 40 pound bag..which included the roasting. I think I have seen them
a lot cheaper later in the season, and at some of the places which
specialize in the chiles and roasting.

Comin' to the cook-in?
