FINALLY, we had Anaheim chiles at the farmers' market in Madison, WI, and I made this! I could have waited until Hell froze over and not got Hatch chiles up here, but happy to say I did not wait! I made the non-kosher version, using the broiler method you mentioned to roast the chiles. Phenomenal! Thank you, Ruth!

Had never heard of hatch chiles. I love being educated about West Coast food from reading your newsletter, Ruth. The quiche looks scrumptious. Enjoy some downtime!

Chili quiche! YES! Another great post with lots of ideas and scrumptious pictures and recipes, Ruth! Also: I got the scissors and ended up giving them to my brother who owns a restaurant, love ‘em, ordering a new pair for me! 😂 ✂️

"Hatch schmatch" 😂 Love it! I started out thinking "What on earth are Hatch chiles, and how did I miss them during my California years?" but I see how they could be missed. Your veggie version of the quiche sounds lovely, and I'll give it a try, maybe with Anaheim chiles. Btw, I've broiled red bell peppers to roast the skins, and the instructions had me pop them in a paper grocery sack to complete the process by steaming, which worked well!

What a coincidence! My boyfriend just came back from the supermarket with a bag of what look like hatch chiles. He said "just smell them, they're so fragrant, I had to get them". Not sure whteher they are actually hatch chiles or a local variety (perhaps from southern Italy) but they do taste good :)
