Hatch Chili Roasting Underway At Smith’s In White Rock

by

Tony the chili roaster was on the job today, filling the air with that distinctive aroma of Hatch roasted chilis outside Smith’s at 31 Sherwood Blvd. in White Rock. Hatch chilis are special due to their unique flavor and growing conditions in the Hatch Valley of New Mexico. The combination of high altitude, rich volcanic soil, and a distinctive climate contributes to their earthy, buttery, and smoky flavor. This flavor profile, combined with the tradition of roasting them, makes Hatch chilis a sought-after ingredient, particularly during their late summer harvest season. Photo by Margaret
