Roasting Chimayo chiles

slazin
9 years ago

I'm in Canada (near Vancouver). Grow lots of New Mexican chiles in my hoophouse. For the first time, I'm growing Chimayo chiles. They are turning red far earlier than the NuMex types, Hatch, Sandia, etc. I have read that they are thinner skinned and more difficult to roast and peel than others. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

(I don't have a gas stove - usually just put them in the electric oven under the broiler, blacken, then into a ZIploc bag to steam the skins off.)

And re roasting - I have seen a roaster to use on a grill rotisserie - has anyone used them and are they useful?

And if I can have one more question - I usually buy my seeds from Sandia Seeds. Have had excellent germination and production. But would like to try saving my own seeds - are there any tricks I should use? Is it better to save seeds from green or red pods?

Thanks very much!!
