It is the Anaheim that came from the Hatch chili. I have not heard about this. Do you have more information I could check it out? Thanks for the information, I appreciate it. Have you seen Hatch chile this year? I found a box or two in Ann Arbor last year, but that's it. I'm in West Bloomfield and drove all over looking for it.
Whole Foods Market is carrying them. In fact I heard they are going to be going on sale for this weekend! Hope you can get some. Scott is correct, but while Anaheim and Hatch were from the same seeds, they are quite a bit different now. The hatch has thinner meat and thus, is more difficult to clean. A bushel of Anaheim's will provide almost twice the meat as a bushel of the Hatch.
Flavors are very similar. Best way to roast is a rotary basket. Once the chili's are done, a light spray of water, then straight into a plastic bag to let the skin steam loose. If you want to add a little extra flavor to the chili's, toss a bulb of garlic into the basket when roasting.
