For just a couple more weeks, it will be fresh Hatch chilies season. Their flavorful flesh takes on an alluring scent when roasted. Once roasted, peeled and seeded, they are irresistible in a wide variety of dishes.

One of my favorite ways to use them is to show them off in a Hatch Chili New Mexican Style Sauce. As the years have whizzed by, I have grown to prefer the sauce made with mild Hatch chilies, rather them their hot counterparts. I love to spoon the sauce over roasted chicken thighs, arranging the bird atop rice and sprinkling the finished dish with chopped cilantro. I also love it spooned over baked potatoes garnished with sour cream. Delicious.
