Red or Green? That’s a common question asked in Albuquerque. What they’re really asking - do you prefer red or green chilies? I haven’t had red chilies yet but I do like green chilies. I attended a Chili Peeling Party on Labor Day. The chilies are roasted and then we peeled the skins, chopped and bagged the chilies to freeze. Some people wore gloves to protect against being burned by the chili juice. The heat of the chilies didn’t bother me until I washed my hands. Weird but true. Luckily the juice wore off before I took out my contacts - that would have really been painful. I was amazed that the skins came off as easily as they did - for the most part - some were stubborn. I'm not sure how many pounds of chilies we did - it seemed like a lot. After the peeling, chopping and bagging was done, we enjoyed quesadillas with fresh green chilies. Very delicious. And fun. Plus we got to bring some chilies home.
peace
