Roasting Green Chiles

Roasting Green Chiles

This photo is from a couple of weeks ago when we received our order from Hatch Chile Express in Hatch, New Mexico (aka Chile Capital of the World.)  We used a few and froze the rest -- this photo shows only the first batch of many that we roasted that day and over the next few.  The order arrived in great condition and was filled with perfect chiles.  While we could have ordered ones already roasted, the act of roasting them ourselves has led to anticipation of the many great meals that we dreamt of while smelling the chiles roast.

Mediterranean Meal

Cucumber Tomato Salad
In preparation for a meal of hummous, falafel, baba ganoush, pita, and yogurt dressing, we made this cucumber, tomato salad. 

Mediterranean Meal
The falafel is homemade -- baked and delicious.  Here we're waiting for the pita to come out of the oven...  Ah, the smell!
