[CH] Turbetti farms?

Hi y'all.  I just joined the list this week.

I've enjoyed chiles since I lived in northern Arizona
in the early 80s.  But last summer my wife and I
went to New Mexico and discovered that there's
some really good "red" and "green"[1] there.  Yum.

I made some NM style green sauce last year from
anaheims and jalapenos we grew in our garden
in the Santa Cruz mountains of northern california.
This year we grew poblanos, jalapenos, big jims and
chimayos.  We've made a lot of relenos and
other goodies with them, but I'd like to make
a bunch of NM green to freeze for the winter and we
don't have enough chiles left.

Hence the Turbetti farm question.  Has anyone been out
there this year?  What's good?  What should I put
in my green sauce (I was figuring mostly Big Jims)?
Anyone have a good recipe for NM-style green sauce
(vegetarian)[2]?

Thanks!

Eric


[1] when you order something at a mexican resturaunt
in new mexico, they ask "red or green", refering the the
chile sauce.

[2] too many people think that vegetarians like bland food, which
certainly isn't the case with me.
