About Hatch chile

Hatch chile refers to fresh chile peppers associated with the Hatch Valley of New Mexico, rather than one single cultivar. The name covers several chile types, including mild and hotter forms, so appearance and heat are not uniform. They are used fresh or commonly roasted and peeled.

The peppers are typically elongated, green when harvested immature and sometimes allowed to ripen red. Their flesh is crisp when fresh and softer after roasting, with a vegetal, mildly sweet flavour that can become smoky after roasting. They are sold fresh, roasted, peeled, or preserved, including frozen and canned forms.
