What food kop is going to bust you if you don't roast and peel? I use
NuMex/Anaheim/Big Jim both ways. In making salsa I just stem and seed
them and then go to a fine dice (as for Pico de Gallo). Or if making
chile verde - same deal for some of them and roasted, peeled for
others. I like the faint bitterness that leaving the skins on imparts
- sometimes. Other times it's not appropriate. For those times you
might want to seek out chilies that aren't as twisted as Hunter S.
Thompson's brain. Bv)=
