There’s a firestorm of controversy (pun intended) about the correct way to spell chile, and you may have noticed we use an “e” at the end. At Harmons, we are all big foodies, so we follow the guidance of the Chile Pepper Institute at New Mexico State University. New Mexico is the home state to the beloved Hatch chile, and New Mexicans take their chiles seriously, so we are acknowledging that by following their style. “Chile” refers to the plant, and “chili” is used to define the stew-like dish with beans. Whichever way you spell it, there is little doubt that chiles spice up a dish and give it great flavor, and when they are roasted it’s intensified. Check out our chile recipes above and spice up your summer days and nights.
