Fresh Hatch Peppers Are Here — Now at Brookshire Brothers!🔥
It’s that time of year again — Hatch season has arrived, and Brookshire Brothers is stocked with fresh Hatch Peppers from Melissa’s Produce! These green beauties are a Southwestern favorite for good reason, and they're only available for a limited time.
👨🌾 What Makes Hatch Peppers So Special?
Named after the original growing area in Hatch, New Mexico, authentic Hatch Peppers are prized for their meaty texture and deep, roasted flavor. They’re grown in the Hatch Valley, just north of Las Cruces, where the intense sunlight and cool desert nights along the Rio Grande help create a chile unlike any other.
From home cooks to professional chefs, Hatch Peppers are a must-have ingredient during the late summer harvest.
🍽️ Ways to Use Hatch Peppers
These peppers are incredibly versatile. Popular dishes include:
Chile Con Queso
Chile Rellenos
Chile Verde
But don’t stop there — try them roasted in salads, soups, stews, dips, or sandwiches. The meaty texture and bold flavor elevate just about anything.
🔥 How to Roast & Store
Roasting Hatch peppers enhances their natural flavor and makes the skins easy to peel. Here’s how:
Place peppers directly on a grill or under the broiler.
Turn occasionally until skins are charred and blistered.
Transfer to a covered bowl or bag to steam for 10–15 minutes.
Peel, remove seeds if desired, and use or freeze for later!
Storage Tip: Keep fresh peppers unwashed in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
