I know this posting is years after the fact, but I'm just discovering hatch chilies. I was told they were great with everything. Since I love spicy, I loaded up while they were cheap and oh so fresh. I had to try one with some of my awesome zucchini, loaded with garlic, onions and strips of the chilies. Just enough spice without being overpowering. Can't wait to try these recipes, I know I grabbed at least 40 of them. Ahhh, goodness, I can't wait to taste.
Thanks!

Hatch chiles are so good! When we vacationed in New Mexica years ago, we took a cooking class in Santa Fe and I got hooked on them. We brought some back or shipped them...it was so long ago, I don't remember but cooked with them nonstop for a while. Can't wait to try some of these recipes!

Where in Santa Fe was your cooking class? I'm guessing the Sante Fe School of Cooking?? They hosted us for a dinner and the food was FANTASTIC.
