[MBZ] OT Red Anaheim Chilis
I remember someone writing about purchasing a bunch of chilis and processing them a while back (Craig?). We planted some this year, and are just harvesting some pretty chilis - now, what do I do with them? I konw about roasting, placing in paper bags, and removing the skin. Then what do you do with them? How do you cook with them? -- OK Don, KD5NRO Norman, OK There are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics. -Benjamin Disraeli, popularized by Mark Twain '90 300D (Rattled), '92 300D (Saber), ' '81 240D (Gramps), '97 Ply Grand Voyager (Vincent van-go) ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] OT Red Anaheim Chilis
Normally you would harvest peel anaheims when they are green. Oh, well, have a taste and use your mouth-imagination to figure what they would go well with when red. Roasted green chiles, in the proud New Mexico tradition, go well with anything except perhaps pancakes or ice cream. Scramble 'em in your eggs. Throw 'em in your hash browns. Put them in your beef stew. Top your chicos beans with them. Stuff them with cheese, dip them in batter and fry them. Put them in your corn chowder. use them as a hamburger topping. Wizz them up in a blender with milk and sour cream and use them as an enchilada sauce. The list is endless.

OK - sounds good -- what do you do with the long strings of dried red chilies? Are they Anaheims?

Re: [MBZ] OT Red Anaheim Chilis
The dried red ones on strings? They're called ristras. You dangles 'em in front of your door to be picturesque - if yer like most folk. If you want to use them like in olden days, first make sure they are not treated with preservatives (many of the ristras are,) rehydrate them with a soak in boiling water, scrape the meat off the skins and make enchilada sauce with it. They are essentially the same as what you buy in powdered form as New Mexico red chile powder. Me, I'm a lazy guy, I cook with the red chile powder.

Re: [MBZ] OT Red Anaheim Chilis
I never can remember that word - ristas. Maybe it'll sink in this time. We've been growing our own cayenne peppers - stringing them up to dry for keeping till next season, so thought we'd try the anaheims in addition this year. The chilies and okra are about all that last through the 100+ heat here - so the more the merrier! We had three of the fresh red anaheims tongiht in a curried orka dish that was yummy. - On Sun, Aug 3, 2008 at 4:51 PM, Lee Einer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The dried red ones on strings?

Re: [MBZ] OT Red Anaheim Chilis
If they were red, I'd say pull up the whole bush and hang them in your garage to dry. Not sure about green ones.
