You can make these green chile strips similar to the way a Chile Relleno is made. Batter the whole roasted chile and deep-fry it to a golden brown. Then serve these crispy fried green chile strips with a honey teriyaki sauce for a fun spin.
We make these fried green chile strips from already roasted green chile from Hatch, New Mexico. When chile is in season these roasters are seen all over the Mesilla Valley and probably all over most of New Mexico. A huge bag of fresh chile is placed inside the revolving wire drum. And a flame is lite which roasts the chilies as the drum rotates then after the flame is extinguished, the drum will continue to rotate, thus allowing most the skin and some of the seeds to fall free. It’s the most wonderful smell in the world, the entire valley smells of freshly roasted green chile The roasted chile are then dumped into a plastic trash bag for transport. We buy them and take them home to separate and freeze for the year.
But we can also buy these green chilies on Amazon and have them delivered right here to the gates of the Ranch.
