How do you roast green chiles you ask?
Wear rubber gloves and don't touch your eyes.
Wash and dry chiles, make small slit in the sides to allow steam to escape. Use one of three heat sources: a charcoal grill; a broiler set a 400-450 degrees F; or a gas or electric range top covered with a piece of wire mesh. Place the chiles near the heat source (4-6 inches if using a grill or broiler), turning frequently. this roasting process should take 6-8 minutes.
Remove the chiles from the heat, placing them immediately in a brown paper bag or plastic bag, or cover them with a damp towel for 15 minutes to continue the steaming process. If you are using them right away, you will be able to peel them, if not, you can wrap them in plastic or aluminum foil and store them in the freezer. It's easier to peel chiles that have been frozen, so peel and seed them as you need them. | Number of Servings: ields "three small margarine containers of salsa" Cookbook Category
