My folks have sent me a box of Hatch chiles every autumn since I moved from El Paso to Seattle, 20 years ago. This year, on the day they were to arrive, I received not a box redolent of Nuevo Mexico from a salivating UPS man, but a notice that my box had been damaged in shipment and “the contents destroyed.” Argh! And “shipper will be notified.” I wont’ go into details here; suffice it to say that UPS never notified my folks, restsitution was only forthcoming because the owner of the mailbox store they frequent values their business and paid for the shipping and contents out of his own till.)

The point of this post is, that, in desperation, I called Central Market here, in Shoreline WA to find out if Audi, my very favorite produce man in the world could help me find any kind of green chile and – lo, and behold! – they had boxes of Hatch long greens (Big Bens, no less!) for less per pound than my folks paid, 1600 miles closer to the source. Before you could say, “Fire up the grill,” I had them home, roasted, bagged and frozen.

Shop around, folks; miracles do occur in modern times!

Judy – I didn’t know you were from New Mexico! And a geologist to boot! I’ll be moving to Carlsbad. I think it’s going to be very interesting living in such a small town…

Anytime I read something about green chiles/Hatch green chiles, I perk up. Nothing, at least to me, compares to New Mexican food. When I go back home, I stuff myself at every meal with either green or red or both. Where in NM are you moving? I keep trying to find a way back. sigh. I may just decide to pack up and move. Oh, and I’m a geologist, too.

I just had my first Hatch chile sauce on my move to California! Please, learn from my mistake and just get rid of all your non-kitchen items now. It will make the move so much easier.

The hubby and I both looooove huevos rancheros. I might have to sub another type of chile and make some this weekend!

Thanks for the recipe. I miss being in Las Cruces and smelling the chilies being rolled around in those big roaster in front of markets. The wafts of those chilis make me crave being in NM. MMMMMM….

I didn’t know you were from New Mexico. You know, Bridget, that’s pretty darn close to Phoenix. Hmmmm…

Good luck with your move! This looks delicious and I’ll be looking forward to recipes involving Hatch green chiles in the future once you settle down!
