Fresh green chiles are roasted until the skins blister and char, loosening them for easy peeling while the flesh turns tender and smoky. This simple preparation is a staple in Southwestern cooking, perfect for stuffing into rellenos, folding into stews, or stirring into salsas and sauces.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh green chiles (such as Hatch, Anaheim, or poblano)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Method
-
Rinse the chiles and pat dry with a towel.
-
Rub the chiles lightly with vegetable oil to help the skins blister evenly.
-
Preheat the broiler to high and position a rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
-
Arrange the chiles in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with foil.
-
Broil the chiles, turning every 2 to 3 minutes with tongs, until the skins are blistered and charred on all sides, about 10 to 15 minutes total.
-
Transfer the hot chiles to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap, or place them in a sealed paper bag to steam.
-
Let the chiles steam in the covered bowl until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes.
-
Peel off the charred skins with your fingers or a paring knife, working over the bowl to catch any juices.
-
Slit each chile open, remove the stem and seeds, and use whole, sliced, or chopped as needed, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
