Green chilies - so fun to eat, somewhat fun to peel. Every year on Labor Day - Jeff & Donna host a chili peeling party. They buy bags of roasted, green chilies which people then help peel - and chop if that's how you want yours. The best part - there's a carry-in with quesedillas being served with the fresh, roasted chilies. Yum!!
Some things to note about peeling chilies.
1. Have water to rinse your hands in - supposedly salt helps cut the sting.
2. You may need to wear gloves.
3. If you wear contacts, don't wear them to peel chilies. In fact, it's best not to even touch your eye area for a couple of days.
4. Your hands will "burn" more about 15 minutes after your done peeling than they while you are peeling. And they may sting for a day after that.
5. Fresh chilies in recipes is totally worth whatever you go through for them.
peace
