It's hatch chile time. I freaking love these chiles and right now they are in season. You can pretty much find them everywhere. Hatch salsa is one of my favorite ways to eat them, but putting them in stacked verde enchiladas and baked tacos are two other awesome ways to make them. Now, a true texan can roast a chile with their eyes closed. But if you don't the easiest way is to use a gas burner on the stove until its charred. You are a lucky s.o.b. if you have a gas stove. Obviously I don't (see the picture?) so I have to use the broiler. Once its charred, throw it in a brown paper bag til it's cool. Then peel off the charred part and voila! Add them to some tomatillo sauce


fresh tomatillo, about a pound
small red onion, half or to taste
1 clove garlic
1 hatch chile
cilantro leaves, I love them so I use a metric shit ton
pinch of sugar
a bit of whtie vinegar
salt



Boil the tomatillos (make sure you take off the husk) for at least 20 minutes. And then drain them and add to a blender with the rest of the stuff.

I can post my enchiladas recipe if anyone wants.
