Chorizo-Stuffed Hatch Chile Peppers Recipe

Ingredients:

• 12 Hatch chiles, roasted and skinned (see Cook's Tip)
• 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 cup diced onion
• 1 lb Metropolitan Market Mexican Chorizo, bulk
• 2 Tbsp Metropolitan Market Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
• Optional for serving:
• hot cooked white rice, corn tortillas, chopped cilantro

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425° F (400° F convection). Dice potatoes into 1/4-inch pieces, toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and place on a sheet pan. Roast for 15 minutes. Add onion, toss, and cook an additional 7 minutes.
2. Finely crumb the chorizo and mix with potatoes and onions. Roast, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked for an additional 15-20 minutes.
3. Make a slit in each pepper, remove seeds, and fill with chorizo and potato mixture. Drizzle with heavy cream and sprinkle with cheese. Bake until cheese melts and starts to caramelize.
4. Serve warm with rice or with corn tortillas. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
5. Cook's Tip:
6. To roast Hatch chiles, set oven to broil. Rub peppers with 1 Tbsp olive oil. Broil for 3 minutes or until charred; turn and continue broiling, checking frequently until all sides are charred. Remove from oven and set aside until cool enough to handle and peel.
