Get a blow torch skin them and use them for chilli rellenos. As an experiment I bought a carton of egg whites, whipped them up and they provided a good coating.

I use ripened poblano(anchos are dried poblanos) in place of or in addition to
bell peppers is salads.

Anchos work best for stuff like Chili and Mole’s
They are what they are, deep, rich, shirt staining flavor agents

I’d like to hear a bit more about how you smoke-roasted them in the first place.

How about a south-of-the-border style Philly cheese steak with carne asada and ancho chiles.

Take your dried anchos, remove seeds, and simmer them in just enough water to cover.

Then dump the rehydrated chiles and water in a blender and puree. Add a whole onion and garlic, comino powder and puree. You should have a nice paste then.

Mixed that with your browned chile meat, nothing else, and you have a real nice chile.

They won’t turn red no matter how long you leave them on the plant. I use mine for salads, salsa, and stuff them (chilli rellenos). You can put them on the grill or in the oven to blister the skins, then stick them in a covered bowl to steam an cool so the skins are easy to peel.

Hubbie’s habaneros are coming in right now, but the tabasco chili’s are still green. First time growing them and wondering if they will turn red?

[RitchieAprile]

sliced thin and added to beef pho. more character than
the usual jalapeno slices..

[rightly_dividing]

My wife doesn't care for green peppers but will eat red ones like a starving animal if I grill them for her. Should I leave the Anchos on the plant and let them ripen and turn red??

Whatever you do, keep mama happy! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
