Mitch Prensky, chef-owner at Supper in Philadelphia, shared this recipe with us. Hard-boiled egg yolks are mashed with Hatch green chiles, lime juice, mayonnaise, and cilantro, then scooped into the hard-boiled egg whites and topped with salsa, for a Southwestern riff on deviled eggs.

    Hatch CHiles come from Hatch New Mexico, and are also a Brand. They are a mild form of Anaheim Chile, roasted and peeled before canning. Theycan be found at Wal Mart under the "Great Value" brand in the Mex section, or branded as "OLD EL PASO or ORTEGA" in some areas. Most stores only carry tiny cans of chopped, but you can order larger quantities online, as I do for whole canned chiles to make Rellenos.

    So what is "hatch"? Is it a color, or type of chillie? Does it mean "hot", or half-hot"? Why is there something in every recipe that can only be obtained in New York City, or other huge metro area with lots of ethnic groceries?

    How about using trader Joe's corn salsa? And what are Hatch chilies? Is that a brand of canned chilies or a breed of fresh ones?
