Carlsbad CA— Hatch Chile season is back at Gelson’s with live events and roasting’s to-go. Gelson’s will once again continue the tradition of celebrating Hatch Chile Season and some stores will offer a variety of heat levels depending on the crop. Live roastings will also make a comeback at a few stores this year, including Carlsbad.
Gelson’s has long been a local advocate for Hatch Chiles, mildly hot and savory pepper that, when perfectly roasted, yields a uniquely delicious flavor, both spicy and sweet, offering a flavor pop that enhances a range of recipes. The Gelson’s Kitchen offers Hatch Chile Cornbread, Hatch Egg Salad, Hatch Chile/Grilled Corn/Heirloom Tomato Salad, Hatch Macaroni & Cheese, Mini Quiche Hatch Chile, Hatch Chicken & Cheese Quesadilla and Hatch Shrimp & Cheese Quesadilla. Hatch Pork and Beef Sausage and Peppers and Hatch Turkey Meatballs in Sauza sauce are among the many offerings from the grocery store’s meat department.
