It's green chile roasting time!
August 31, 2009
Thanks to my coworker who offered to go halfers on two bushels of chile (hot and xtra hot), I was able to freeze my annual share of chile in a snap.
Chile roasting will only last a couple weeks more, before the chiles are dried and preserved on ristras. I sought out a roadside vendor selling 2 bushels for 35 bucks. It was perfect.
I got to my coworker's house and we began placing 8 chiles per freezer quart bag. We then pushed the air out of the bags and placed them in our freezers after they cooled down.
I will certainly post this season's first green chile stew as soon as it hits below 50!
