Recipe - Preparing Fresh Green Chiles

Fresh hot green chiles

Select large, firm, smoothskinned chiles. Rinse & dry chiles. Make a small
hole in each to allow steam to escape. Place chiles on foil covered shallow
pan & set it 46 inches below broiler flame. Roast chiles, turning often,
until they are well blistered. Remove from pan, place in a bowl & cover
with a cold, damp towel to steam for 10 minutes. Starting at stem end, peel
the outer skin. Remove stem & seeds. If using for rellenos, leave stem
intact. The chiles are now ready to be used in any recipe or for freezing.
Chiles may be frozen after blistering; skins slip off easily when thawed.
