HATCH CHILE CON QUESO DIP



Hatch Chile con Queso Dip image

This silky, cheesy dip celebrates New Mexico's famous hatch chiles, which are only available in the late summer and early fall. If you are lucky enough to see them at the market, be sure to bring some home. Enjoy them right away or roast before freezing to enjoy year-round (or buy some of the great frozen options available). And skip the fancy cheese counter for this recipe: You'll achieve a smoother queso texture with super-melty cheese from the dairy aisle of the supermarket.

Yield Makes about 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 large fresh or 1 cup frozen, defrosted or canned, chopped hatch chiles, drained, squeezed dry
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons grated onion
3 garlic cloves finely grated using a microplane
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 to 2 cups whole milk
4 cups grated Cheddar cheese (nothing fancy!)
2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
2 plum tomatoes, seeded, diced, drained
Roughly chopped cilantro (for serving)
White-corn tortilla chips (for serving)

Steps:

  • If using fresh chiles, place on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil until blistered, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for 5 minutes. Remove skins, stems, and seeds. Chop chiles, drain on paper towels, and set aside.
  • In a medium pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the onion, garlic, and salt and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes more. Whisk the flour and cumin into the butter mixture and cook until lightly browned, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Raise the heat to medium and slowly whisk in the milk. Whisk constantly until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
  • Lower the heat to medium-low and add the cheeses, 1/4 cup at a time. Stir until cheese has melted completely before adding more cheese.
  • Fold in the tomatoes and chiles. Taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve immediately with chips alongside.

Essential Reminders and Helpful Advice

  • For the Hatch chile cream cheese spread, use cream cheese that is not too cold, as it will be easier to mix. To determine this, press your finger against the cream cheese; if it indents slightly, it's perfect.
  • If you don't have roasted Hatch chiles on hand, you can roast your own. To do this, simply char the chiles over an open gas stovetop until the skin is black. The chiles will be very easy to peel after this step, and you can proceed with the rest of the recipe as written.
  • For the Hatch chile queso, it's important to use good quality cheddar cheese. This will make a world of difference in the final product. Look for sharp or extra sharp cheddar cheese.
  • Taste the queso after it has simmered for a few minutes to adjust the seasonings as desired.
  • For the Hatch chile corn chowder, you can use fresh, canned, or corn kernels. If using fresh or canned, be sure to cook the corn until it is soft.
  • The chowder can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together even more.
