Freeze-Dried Pueblo Green Chile Magic
Freeze-drying is a preservation method that involves flash-freezing the chiles and then removing the moisture, leaving behind a lightweight, twenty-five year, shelf-stable product. The process retains the awesome flavor and spiciness of the chiles, making them convenient for use in many types of dishes, without the need for refrigeration.
Freeze-dried green chiles can be rehydrated with cold water in 10 minutes and used in all of your favorite recipes, such as pizzas, sandwiches, and chip-dips, to add a burst of authentic chile flavor and that perfect level of spiciness.

Step 3

Place them on a cutting board, cut off the stem and deseed. Depending upon how you plan to use them, you can cut them into strips (perfect for sandwiches or pizza), or you can dice them for your own killer appetizers.
