It’s that sharp, smoky smell floating through the air that tells you Hatch Chile Fest has arrived. I honestly don’t know how far the Hatch chile celebration stretches. All I know is that when those chile roasters start rolling out in Lubbock, it feels familiar and comforting. I make green chile burgers, and I love dumping a can into Alfredo sauce to give it a little more depth, flavor and zip. Don’t Be Afraid of Fresh Green ChilesFor years, I always bought the big cans or giant jars of green chiles.
