If I recall in San Diego there is just as your going up the mountain coming to Tucson a small town, I want to say Pine Valley but its not that.
Past Decondeo? Anyway, they have a farmers market there and they sell hatch chilis.
If not there most grocery stores have them in the spice section. The of course are dried.
Hatch chilis are a bit warmer then Jalapenos I think. And I can eat them all day. But a hatch will make me break swet in no time at all.
But dang it makes good sauce.
I take the dried ones and grind and use as a mix, a mole, and like salt or pepper. A spinkle to make it smile.
I have taken the fresh ones and stuffed them with cheese ( a mix of goat cheese, ricota, and mozzerela) and made rolenos. Fried stuffed chili.
I deep fry in peanut oil and use a beer batter for the chili.
I made them for the gem show one year and could not keep up. Everyone went wild over them.
If you want to order some hatch chili's, WORLD MARKETS carries them also.
Temecula has some nice farmers market on Saturday that has them. I go to that one often. Drive from Tucson to go to it!!
Small one, but has some really nice fresh food.
Good reason for a road trip. LOL..My dad comes just so he can buy some of their fresh donuts..
Hope this helps.
