New Mex Anaheim

[LUCKYDOG]

When to pick green or red? I have a plant that has literally dozens of green but when do you eat them I thought green?

 

[POTAWIE]

I like them ripe and red but I guess both are popular in the south.

 

[Sickmont]

I prefer green for sauces but i like the whole ones red.

 

[Omri]

I like grilling green ones, but guess red ones are nicer for everything else.

 

[LUCKYDOG]

Since there quite a few I will try both ways -- wasnt sure if I was going to commit a cardinal sin and miss out

I'll try and cut some up for a relish tonight --

I roasted a dozen or so the other day, and yummy. Some got stuffed and some are in the chili pot

I am letting all my "chili" peppers ripen to their final color...anaheims, pasilo bajio, cascabel, big jim, etc....after dehydration, I will then mix the dried pepper powder to give me the color chili powder base I use to make chili with...you can adjust the color using the different powders...I am looking for a deep dark rich red looking powder...the pasillos will be used for darkening as will the cascabels...

taste is another issue...the the color and taste I want is going to be challenging...not worried about heat 'cause I will have plenty of that from other peppers...

The only ones I will pick while still green will be the ancho/poblanos...and they will be stuffed...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Arn't Anaheim's meant to be hotter red? I know they're used both green and red. The only ones I'd ever pick of my varieties this year green are the Jalapenos but it's a bit hard to do that with the chileman comp going on.

Green Anaheims are great. red ones are just as great, just different.

[POTAWIE]

I just roasted a bunch more along with some eggplant and made an awesome soup. I also just picked a nice huge semi-ripe one for stuffin' around 22 cm.

Big anaheims make good rellenos and good shooters.

 

[LUCKYDOG]

I'll wait nice pic Potawie I have a few that size I'll wait a bit longer and stuff them that sounds awesome and by that time Biker Billy Jap's will be ready as well

 

[Sickmont]

yeah, they are bad-ass stuffed!!!

 

[scoville]

They are great both ways,I make rellanos with both colors,seem to be a bit thinner at the red stage.One thing I loved was dehydrating some green ones,a fantastic seasoning!

 

[LUCKYDOG]

They are huge I was going to wait till some are red But.....Getting.....Difficult.....to.....Wait !!!
