RECIPES & TIPS
Beyond classic chile rellenos, Anaheims can be used in a variety of South or Central American dishes as well as in Southwest and Tex-Mex cuisine. Try adding them to cornbread and corn puddings, baked potatoes, stews, soups and sauces.
Like poblanos, fresh Anaheim chilies can be easily roasted whole on a grill or gas stove.
