I love green chilies. I'm tired of getting screwed buying them in cans that sometimes have three, four, or five chilies in them. They are 25 cents each at the local produce store but must be roasted and skinned. I tried roasting them in the oven and over a burner without consistent results. Sooooooooo, I got out my propane torch. I put the chili on a fork and roasted it with the torch until the skin is black and blistered. The propane torch gives you precise control and you can go over an area till it is perfectly charred and blistered. Once the chili is blackened and blistered the skin scrapes right off with a sharp edge. It looks like you've burned the crap out of the chili but once you scrape the skin off the chili is beautiful.
Works for me.
Cheers,
Gus
