Review: The Only Chiles for Making Authentic Salsa - A co-worker shared her amazing salsa recipe with me and I used these chiles (specifically the toasted version) to make it. Husband says it is restaurant-quality; the chiles lend the perfect flavor. Large bag will make many, many batches of salsa- excellent value.
Review: Just what I hoped for! - Having lived in southern NM for 14 years some time ago, I was totally pleased with these chile pods. The color was bright red as they should be and they were in good shape, no crumbled pods and so no waste. My method as taught to me in NM by some ladies who know is to place themin the kitchen sink, pull off the stems and shake out as many seeds as you can. Then put the pods into a pan of very hot water and let them stand for upwards of 20 minutes to soften. Pour the pan contents into a sieve set over a large pot in order to save the water. One by one take a pod out, place it on a baking sheet, cut it down one side and open it up. Use a sharp paring knife and scrape the chile "meat" off the skin. When finished, place the chile in a saucepan, add garlic and oregano to taste and enough of the chile water to make it a sauce consistency. Heat it to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes. Add more water as is necessary. It is now ready for enchiladas as is or what we call Chile Meat, by adding prefried chunckis of beef or pork or fried ground beef. Serve with beans on the side or add them to the pot. New Mexican Perfection!
