Enchanting Stories of New Mexico - How do you choose between Red or Green Chile?
Feb 26, 2024
Michael Swickard, Ph.D.

How do you choose between Red Chile or the Green Chile? That is a good question with an easy answer. We try both and even try when both are together and whatever makes us smile, that’s our winner. And importantly, sometimes after I have declared one, I try the other and it hits my taste buds just right and I revise and extend my choices in Hatch Valley Chile Peppers. Truth be known, I like Green Chile, I like Red Chile and I really really really like the blend of Red Chile and Green Chile. But here is my secret that won’t be the same for everyone but for me it usually depends upon what the Chile is enhancing. And often it is the part of the year such as in the dead of winter I love Green Chile Stew. Not that the dead of winter in Southern New Mexico is like Minnesota or Wisconsin. That’s Chilly! Still, the enjoyment of Hatch Valley Chile Peppers is tied to how the plants were grown, how they were harvested, how they were processed by the Fresh Chile Company in Las Cruces, New Mexico and what they are placed upon such as the enhancement of barbeque versus on eggs and hash browns. Try the same Red Chile on both a day apart and you will see how the food brings out the very best in the Chile and the Chile brings out the very best in the food.
