The Annals of the extremely diverse, artistic, literary, and musical lifestyle of a Charlotte Mason education-loving family. Our philosophy, even though our children are all grown now, is to allow for time and space in each day to be present for those memorable moments; the ones both on and off the calendar.
"'Stay' is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary."
~Louisa May Alcott
The Dread Pirate Sparsebeard is home from his annual adventure to Hatch, New Mexico and the Gila Mountains. The strong scent of green chile roasting on the grill was sent wafting through the neighborhood. Even the squirrel came to check it out.
We freeze them for use in multiple dishes, from enchiladas to breakfast (egg) casserole. My favorite thing is to chop them up small and put them in a bowl of corn for dinner.
Hubby chops them and puts them on or beside everything: on turkey burgers, beans and rice, in his breakfast eggs, etc.
Sometimes we go to the trouble to make chile rellenos. Instead of chopping them up to add to things, we fill the inside with Mexican cheeses, shredded chicken or beef and maybe even a little rice. We then put shake and bake coating on the outside and bake them. Some people fry them in a batter. This is then topped with a mole (sauce) and a bit of sour cream and a touch of cilantro.

OK...I gotta know....what do you do with all those chilis?

Yum!!
I forgot to mention that after thawing them from the freezer, we peel off the skin, with the help of a stream of water from the faucet.
Then we can seed them, chop them, etc.
Hubby often leaves the seeds in for himself. He likes 'em hot!
Hoo boy - I bet the aroma WAS amazing! I so adore all squirrels - though they cost me a fortune in birdseed! :-) Your pictures are always delightful.
