Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Green Chile Pesto combines the kicked up flavor of green chiles with the deliciousness of rich, creamy pesto for a delicious side that’s perfect on toast, meat or even pasta!

Hatch Chile Pesto

In just a few weeks, Hatch Green Chiles will be the theme in every grocery store here in Arizona and New Mexico. You won’t be able to walk in any market without them staring at you square in the face – literally!

I can promise you that. 🙌

It’s almost like they are whispering to you … “buy me… buy me…”

Of course, one must not pass Hatch green chiles without buying a few bags. Hatch Chiles are by far my favorite item to cook with, and smell, in the kitchen.

Turn a plain recipe into something spectacular by throwing in some green chiles.

Hatch Chiles on the Grill

Roasted or plain, green chiles are pretty fabulous to have in the kitchen.

Even better than picking up green chiles in the store is traveling out to Hatch, New Mexico for their annual green Chile festival.  Every year, Hatch celebrates the green chile over Labor Day weekend.  People travel from all over the United States to participate in the weekend celebration.

The smell of roasted green chiles fills the air from miles away, making your stomach churn with hunger for everything green chile.

Green Chile Recipes

While you’re there, grab a few bags of roasted green chiles to haul back with you.  Use those green chiles to make everything from:

  • Raspberry Green Chile Jam
  • Pickled Hatch Chiles
  • Hatch Chile Biscuits
  • Green Chile Peach Jam
  • Hatch Green Chile Relish
  • Sweet Potato & Green Chile Cornbread
  • Green Chile Hummus
  • Dehydrated Green Chile Powder

 And follow me on Pinterest for even more Green Chile recipe ideas.

Green Chile Pesto

This Green Chile pesto combines the rich, creamy taste of pesto with a spicy kick from roasted Hatch Green Chiles. All in all it’s a breeze to make… aside from roasting the chiles, it comes together in mere minutes.

A few notes about this pesto:

  • If you’re roasting your own green chiles, follow my DIY (and make sure to wear gloves)
  • Feel free to use your choice of walnuts, almonds, pine nuts or whatever you have on hand
  • Adjust the salt and pepper to suit your taste
  • Use your food processor to chop the walnuts and nuts prior to adding the oil
  • Use this pesto on sourdough bread, stir it into pasta or add it as a topping for your chicken or steak

One of the best things about pesto is that it freezes beautifully as well. Separate using ice cube trays then pop in a freezer bag. Or, freeze in ziplock bags and press flat.

Thaw before using and stir into your favorite pasta recipe or serve next to a side of crusty bread.

Yum!
