Every year it seems that the chile will never ripen because the time can come during our rainy season and then we have to wait two weeks for the chiles to develop their flavor. The time has come. Hatch has chile on the market and our better (nothing like being ethno-centric) chile is just starting. Tonight I'm getting our long, fresh red chiles ready to make into chile rellenos. I broil, peel, slit and stuff the chiles with sticks of cheese and strips of onion. I put them on plastic meat trays, three or six to a tray. Then they are ready to finish when the weather is chill. Ah, the odor of roasting chiles is heavenly. By next town the whole valley will smell of chile. Heaven! Elsa
