These bold, hatch green peppers are grown only in Hatch, New Mexico for a brief time during the late summer. Fire roasting enhances their addictive flavor. Find fresh-packed Hatch chiles (buy a case and freeze for winter) and roasted pre-packed in your local Maryland grocery store.
Thanks for the dates. I’ve used your info. for the past 3 years. 🙂
Woo hoo!! Thanks Dan!
No one’s ever heard of “Pueblo chile”.
Well, it’s not Pueblo Chile which is superior, but being out in MD where green chile isn’t a thing, this will have to do. Stoked because I only have one bag left in my freezer!
Please… Where are the Pueblo Chile festivals outside CO?
Colorado chili is lame!! If you anything bout chile…. New Mexico is the chile capital of the world & our chile is far more robust & full of flavor & heat. Sorry to burst your bubble or rain on your parade but Hatch, New Mexico chile is #1!! That’s coming from New Mexico Native American Pueblo Indian. Chile is part of our culture & cuisine.
Harris teeter and whole foods locations around Baltimore have Hatch chiles as of the date of this post.
What are the prices for the Hunt Valley, Maryland event? Also, is roasting available? Can’t wait to go. Already took the day off.
Here’s how the Bel Air Wegmans holds their annual Hatch Chile weekend:
They’ll have roasters set up in the parking lot near the store, and samples either near the roasters, or by the entrance. That’s because they’re selling hatch chiles with several levels of heat – mild, medium, hot, and sometimes extra-hot. Heat varies year-to-year, so it’s best to check before you buy. (Last year the mediums were pretty mild, but the year before even the milds had a touch of heat)
If you want to buy a box of roasted chile, let them know how much and the heat you want. You’ll pay inside and pick it up as you leave (they roast by order). (I think boxes are 30 lbs.) They will have smaller trays and fresh chile available for sale inside.
They will also have a lot of prepared foods and samples available inside with hatch chiles. For example, stuffed chiles with crab, or with beef, hatch chile bialys (bagels) – and one year they even had a hatch chile and apple strudel. The hot bar will also have a lot of hatch recipes, and the cheese department will be selling cheeses and dips with hatch chiles.
