I know things to do with them but was looking for suggestions. Like maybe something awesome that people dont know anout. Sorry if the thread confused anyone. I am going to make a few sauces and some salsa with them. I have a ton of them so I didn't just want to do a couple of things. I want all kinds of crazy or unique ideas.
And yeah Juz they are frozen.
Hatch Chili Macaroni & Cheese
8 oz pasta
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 white onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
2-3 hatch chili peppers (or more if you want it hotter)
1/2 cup milk
1 cup grated cheddar
1 cup grated smoked gouda
1 cup grated gruyere
1 tablespoon brown mustard
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
olive oil
Cook the pasta. (I used fusilli.)
In a medium sized, non-stick skillet, cook the onion in the butter. Add garlic and chilis and cook till garlic just starts to brown. Gradually add in the milk, stirring constantly and reduce slightly. Remove from heat and dump in the pasta, cheese, and mustard. Mix it all together thoroughly then transfer to a 2-quart baking dish. Mix together bread crumbs with just a dash of olive oil and sprinkle over the top. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Pork Green Chili Recipe
2.5 lbs pork butt
6 cups strong pork stock (or chicken stock)
6 poblano peppers, roasted and peeled
8 hatch chilies, roasted and peeled (depending on heat)
1 16 oz jar verde (tomatillo) salsa
1 yellow onion, med. fine dice
1.5 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp mexican oregano
1 cube chicken bouillon
1 tsp MSG
two pinches sugar
couple of grinds of black pepper
1 can hominy or 2-3 cubed potatoes
Cayenne to taste for heat
Masa for thickening
Cube pork into bite-sized pieces, some smaller (can also use ground pork).
Roast, peel, and de-seed the chili peppers
Take peppers/chilis, chop to fine dice, add half to 2 cups of pork stock, blend till smooth.
Combine all ingredients (except masa) in pot, bring to a simmer, simmer for 2-3 hours. If using potatoes, don't add till last half hour.
Mix masa with water (or cooled cooking liquid) to make slurry, stir back into pot, allow to cook at least ten minutes. Once thickened, be careful that bottom of pot doesn't burn.
Serve plain, with sour cream, cheese, chopped onion, cilantro, corn tortillas or crushed tortilla chips, or however you want. Try poaching eggs in it for breakfast.
you can add them to crab cakes
use to make a sauce for chicken enchiladas
add to queso
infuse a small bottle of vodka, these make great bloody marys
