Green and red chiles

[Bye Week]

The better half and I just returned from a brief trip to Santa Fe with a ton of powdered, dried, canned and bottled green and red chiles. We have made and frozen a ton of sauce--and are using it on everything from eggs, tacos, enchiladas, etc.--but are running out of recipe ideas. Does anyone have a good recipe you wouldn't mind sharing with us? Thanks in advance!

It's regrettable that you didn't also buy bushels of roasted fresh green chilies. You can freeze them, as is, with the membranes still on and then thaw them as needed. Few things top a burger or sandwich better than some sliced green chilies.

Dried--- boil them to reconstitute---- them place in a blender or food proceessor with some of the liquid

pour through a collinder to collect the good stuff --some pushing is required to get the good stuff seperated from the skins and catch the skins

you should have some of the "meat" of the peppers-- mix with garlic and cumin--- simmer until it gets thick-- this sauce is used for chips and red enchiladas

dip a corn tortilla in this sauce-- wrap with cheese inside-- and place in baking dish-- pour some more sauce on top with same cheese--bake at 350 25 minutes--magic--- place on plate with lettuce, tomato and onion on top-- El
paso style-- good stuff

Yeah, when does chile season start? Isn't it right around Labor Day?

I make runs up there to see family and get bushels of chile, pinon and other goodies. Be nice and maybe a bushel can come your way if there is room. Just depends on how big of a car I take up and how many usual orders I take.

Did you go to Castro's to eat?

No--please give me the scoop on Castro's. We ate at The Old House (awesome), Santacafe (good), Cafe Pasqual's (interesting), and Coyote Cafe (very good). It was a short two-day trip...

As mentioned in another SF thread, Castro's is basically where the locals go to eat. It is cheap, big portions and fantastic. It's at 2811 Cerrillos Rd.

Did I say the food is fantastic?
