Ingredients

  • 4-5 Hatch green chiles
  • 1-2 plum tomatoes
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 onion
  • 5-6 prigs cilantro (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
  • splash of water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Start by giving the Hatch chiles and tomatoes a good rinse.   Roast the tomatoes and chiles in a 400F oven for 20-30 minutes. 
  2. De-stem and de-seed the roasted chiles.  You can also pull off and discard any loose bits of skin from the chiles.  De-stem the tomatoes as well. 
  3. Add the chile pieces and one of the tomatoes to a blender along with 2 peeled garlic cloves, 1/4 onion (I used white onion), 5-6 sprigs of cilantro (optional), 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a splash of water.   Combine well.   You can optionally add the second roasted tomato, I only used one for this batch to keep the Hatch flavor at the forefront. 
  4. Take a final taste for seasoning, adding more salt if necessary.  You can also add another splash of water if you want it a bit thinner. 
  5. Serve immediately and store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. 

Notes

  • I usually twist off and discard the bottom, thicker portion of the cilantro stems, but use the upper portion that holds the leaves together. 
  • Roasting the chiles on a grill or over open flame are viable options too.
