It’s Friday — time for What To Make With What’s On Sale! It’s green chile season, and fresh chiles are in stores now. (Last week at Sprouts they were $0.69/lb…has anyone noticed the price this week?) Hatch green chiles are some of the best chiles you can get. They’re grown in Hatch, NM, and their season usually runs from late August to early October.
The aroma of green chiles roasting is one of my favorite things about this time of year! I shared some recipes and tips for using fresh Hatch chiles last year (including how to roast, peel, and freeze them.) Here are some more ideas to add!
In the previous green chile post, you’ll find this delicious recipe for Green Chile Stew. If you need a gluten-free recipe, here’s one that can be used as a sauce or as a base for stew.

They were $0.99/lb at Sprouts on Wednesday, and around $1.29/lb at King Soopers recently, I think? The ones at sprouts were bigger than the ones at King Soopers, which I prefer because it makes it easier to roast them without completely charring the flesh of the pepper.
