Dust off your Pinterest boards from last summer, it’s Hatch Chile time again.
This year’s green chile season feels like it’s coming on early, but maybe it’s just my imagination. I picked up my first batch of Anaheims at our farmers market last weekend — in July! If you’re jonesing for a green chile fix, Hatch roasting events are starting this weekend in Southern California, with events across the country rolling out over the next four to six weeks. We’ll keep a running tally of events below.
HATCH CHILE ROASTING EVENTS & PRE-ORDERS:
Melissa’s Produce Hatch Chile Roasting Events (Gelson’s, Bristol Farms, Sprouts in LA, OC & San Diego, starting August 16)
Frieda’s Produce Roasting Events (Ralphs, Kroger stores in So. Cal, IN, OH and PA)
In the Seattle area, Whole Foods Markets are now taking pre-orders and the Interbay store will host a Green Chile Chili challenge on August 7.
