We're back into the growing season and I've finally been able to find more Anaheim peppers at our grocery store. Anaheim is the same type of pepper that's called "Hatch Chile" but, instead of it being grown in New Mexico, it's grown in California and, surprisingly, this makes it much more mild. All the flavor, almost none of the heat.

I've been able to find several recipes highlighting this versatile chile pepper, including side dishes, soups and main dishes.

 

I like to use it to make the green chile sauce that I use when making chicken tamales or enchiladas. It's easy with only chiles, tomatillos, onion and garlic.

 

You'll love the green chile chicken soup and you'll even find chiles rellenos made with Anaheim! No time for making rellenos? Try the Chiles Rellenos Casserole instead.

Speaking of green sauce, have you ever tried Enchiladas Suizas? It's a delicious Mexican tribute to Swiss cuisine. 

 

Chicken, smothered in a creamy blend of cream cheese, sour cream and green chile enchilada sauce, wrapped in corn tortillas. So good!

Until next week...

 

Enjoy!
