HATCH CHILE SALSA

While I was living in Texas I got this recipe from a friend. I don't think hatch chiles are available up north so I substituted serrano chiles. This is a quick and easy salsa that you can make as hot as you want. The fresh cilantro I think really gives it a good flavor!

Tips:

  • Choose the right chiles: For a smoky and slightly spicy salsa, use roasted Hatch chiles. If you prefer a milder salsa, use mild or medium-heat chiles.
  • Roast the chiles properly: Roasting the chiles brings out their smoky flavor. To roast the chiles, place them on a baking sheet and broil them for 5-10 minutes per side, or until they are blackened and blistered. Once the chiles are roasted, let them cool and then peel and seed them.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salsa will taste. Use ripe tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.
  • Don't overcook the salsa: Salsa is best when it is cooked just until the flavors meld together. Overcooking the salsa will make it lose its fresh taste.
  • Adjust the seasonings to taste: Add more or less salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as cumin, oregano, or garlic powder.

Conclusion:

Hatch chile salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for adding a smoky and spicy flavor to tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and other Mexican dishes. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for chips or vegetables. With its fresh and flavorful ingredients, Hatch chile salsa is a great way to add some zest to your next meal.
