COOKING TIPS

In the kitchen.

1To easily peel roasted chiles, place them in a sealed bag or covered bowl immediately after roasting for 10-15 minutes. The trapped steam will loosen the skins.
2Wear gloves when handling, peeling, and seeding chiles to prevent skin irritation from capsaicin oils.
3The heat is concentrated in the seeds and the white membranes (pith). Remove them for a milder flavor.
4Roasted green chiles add a smoky, earthy depth to stews, sauces, salsas, and can be used as a topping for burgers, eggs, and enchiladas.

STORAGE

Keep it fresh.

Store freshly roasted and peeled chiles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
For long-term storage, freeze peeled chiles in freezer-safe bags or containers. They will maintain good quality for up to a year.
Canned or jarred roasted green chiles should be refrigerated in a non-metallic container after opening and used within one week.
