just love this blog!
wanted to let you know a few of the things we do w/ roasted chiles. we lived in new mexico for five years and during that time developed a love affair w/ green chiles. in the fall we would have them roasted, but were advised NOT to peel them for storage. rather, roast, let sit in a bowl w/ a plate on the top (much easier and probably less toxic than a ziplock bag) and then freeze w/ peels on. the peels do two things: one, they insulate the pepper from freezer burn and, two they continue to impart that wonderful smoky flavor to the meat of the pepper while in the freezer. we just picked up 60 lbs of new mexico big jim’s for our winter eating!!!
