Chile Rellenos sound great! Are you using Anaheim chiles for them? Also,
do you freeze them after you prepare them and then cook them later?
On a similar note, I am new to growing chiles and I am wondering how
people save them to use later in the year. Are they easily frozen? What
about canning? I have used dried chiles before and really prefer them
non-dried. Does anyone have any suggestions?
