Anybody using Chimayo chiles in their cooking? I was able to buy some seeds (which are somewhat rare) and will be growing them this year. I'd like to find out what dishes people are using them in.

Thanks!

@scandigonian Ooh nice! I've wanted to try those for years, but they're a bit expensive. Where did you get the seeds from?

@camless @scandigonian I also happen to have started Chimayo this year and will save seeds! if it's a good Seattle year for peppers

from Adaptive Seeds who list them in stock, also not cheap but I hope to get a good multiplier from each plant...

@eub
Awesome! I just planted mine indoors today! I wish us both luck.

NPR did a story on Chimayo chiles in 2024. That's how I found out about them.
