I don't know this chile, but when faced with large chiles of good taste but
no heat, use them as vegetable.  First idea is: saute them with onions then
eat.  Also adding some Italian sausage is a good thing, if you want a
meat-based dish.  Or, add them to stews.  E.g., this sort of pepper is
really good in a Filipino stew called apritada, which is basically the same
as New Mexican chile verde, excepting it isn't hot (well, I guess that's
not _always_ true), includes fish sauce, and main ingredients are tomatoes
and pork (chiles third).
