Wife just came home with a big bag of Hatch Chiles. Have any of you made poppers with these??
Need to make any changes? Taste?
Thanks

Roasted hatch peppers are excellent in pork and green chili stew. I wonder if smoked pork shoulder would taste good in such a stew?
The base flavor profile is pretty darn good, live fire roasting and all.
No, I use a weed burner on a 3' X 3' expanded metal. I basically lay some out, blast one side, then turn and blast the other side. A weed burner is so intense the skin blisters before actually heating up the flesh too much.thirdeye
Do you have a roasting drum? This one goes on pretty much any rotisserie for small batches.
The Mexican family that I pretty much grew up with had a chili roaster made out of a 55gal drum that was driven by a hand crank for small batches and a wash machine motor and belts for jumbo batches.

Sure you could make poppers out of them...but as with most of the larger chilles you are going to want to char the skin and remove it. It can get really tough to chew on.Thanks for all the ideas guys. But what really wanted to know, has anyone used these to make poppers instead of jalapenos???
Thanks

Turn down your volume, it's pretty LOUD
Heck yeah, just char them on a bbq grill over smoking hot coals or with your gasser cranked too high. Char them until the skin is black then toss them into ziplock plastic bags or a tightly covered bowl. Wait 20-30 minutes and the skins will slip right off with a little rubbing. Or take a bite of one of the raw chili's and see if the skins seem thin enough to leave of. If the skins are much thicker than a Jap. or Pablano I'd remove them. I'm guessing that they will be fine to use raw/ skin on for poppers.Thanks for all the ideas guys. But what really wanted to know, has anyone used these to make poppers instead of jalapenos???
