I'm on digest, so please respond back channel. > TIA, Margaret Lauterbach 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)= -- ENJOY!!! -------- UNCLE DIRTY DAVE'S KITCHEN -- Home of Yaaaaa Hooooo Aaahhh!!! HOT SAUCE and Hardin Cider The important thing is not to stop questioning. -- Albert Einstein
