Chile Roasting @ FDMW的部落格

Dear friends

New Mexico is "Chile Capital" of the world.

It is chile harvesting time during the months of August and September.

Every grocery store in the state has roasting equipments setup

in its parking lot,the air is filled with chile roasting aroma.

People buy chile by the sack,they can either roast the chile themselves

or have the store roast it for them.

Last month I bought a 40 lb (20kg) sack

and have the store roast the chile for me.

The pictures you see were my chiles being roasted.

I took the roasted chile home and let it steamed in the bag, then I put them in

freezer bags (10/bag) and freeze them (I got 19 bags).

It's easier to peel the skin off when needed.

I use these chile to make Mexican dishes, hot sauces,condiments etc.

親愛的朋友們

新墨西哥州是世界上主要的辣椒產地

每年的8月份~9月份是辣椒豐收的季節

這裡的食品雜貨舖兒都會紛紛在自家店面前的停車場上

架設起烘烤器具好幫客人做烘烤的服務

每每到了這個季節

空氣裡總是瀰漫著烘烤辣椒時所散發出來的的幸福香味久久不曾散去呢

人們總愛整袋整袋地買下這些豐收的辣椒

他們可以自行帶回家烘烤或者也可以請店家幫忙他們做這個工作喔
