Hatch Chile: Smoky, Seasonal, Fire-Roasted Flavor
The short-season pepper worth planning your menu around.
A SHORT SEASON, A BIG MOMENT
Hatch Chile, the Pepper Everyone Waits For
Hatch chiles are prized for their distinctive smoky-sweet flavor and moderate heat, grown in New Mexico’s Hatch Valley under conditions that give them a flavor no other chile quite matches. Best known fire-roasted and peeled, they’re a seasonal highlight for salsas, stews, and specialty menu features. At Latin Specialties, we bring in Hatch chiles at the height of the season for the best flavor and heat.
Smoky, seasonal, and worth the wait—Hatch chile is a flavor moment, not just a pepper.

Pork and potatoes simmered with roasted Hatch chiles, tomato and cumin: a New Mexico staple.
Ingredients
- 2 lb boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp oil and 2 tbsp flour

- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 potatoes, diced
- 1 tsp ground cumin and 1 tsp dried Latin Specialties Oregano
- Salt, to taste; warm tortillas to serve
Method
- Toss the pork with the flour and brown in the oil in a large pot. Remove and soften the onion and garlic in the same pot.
- Return the pork, add the chiles, tomatoes, broth, cumin and oregano. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered for 1 hour.
- Add the potatoes and cook for 30 minutes more, until the pork and potatoes are tender. Season with salt and serve with warm tortillas.
TipRoast fresh chiles over a flame or under the broiler until blistered, then steam in a covered bowl for 10 minutes and the skins will slip off.
