Best Green chile for home cooking

What Green chile is for, which kitchens use it, and where to find a jar worth cooking with.

Why cooks start here

Fresh heat, unnamed variety: the instruction to add a living pepper.

In 4 ComidaTime kitchens, including Ethiopian, Korean, and Thai, Green chile is not decoration. Add it where the recipe puts it: early if it needs fat and time, late if it is perfume.

Taste Green chile before you empty the spoon. Fresh jars smell like themselves; tired ones smell like dust. Buy the smallest amount you will finish.
