    One of my favorite smells EVAH is the aroma of chile roasting! It takes me back to my mom’s house and simpler times.

    The combination of roasted chiles and cream is a match made in chile heaven! Also try my hatch chile salsa verde.

    If you have never had a hatch chile, you’re in for a treat!

    During hatch season, look for events like this at the grocery stores. OR, roast at home under a broiler for 7 minutes, turn and broil for another 7 minutes.

    Once the chile skin has blackened, you’re good to go!

    • Once roasted, let them cool.
    • With a knife, remove the charred skin.
    • Cut off the stems, cut lengthwise and remove the seeds from inside.

    These New Mexican beauties are only available once a year.

    • Then add the cheese and cream cheese.

    More whisking and more whisking until smooth. Be sure to use a spatula that is heat proof.

    • Lastly, add diced hatch chiles to the cheese mixture.
    • With a spatula, mix everything. Garnish with chopped green onions.

    Green onion adds freshness. You can also top with cilantro. Either of the two work well in this recipe.
