Anaheim or New Mexican peppers are medium-hot and a major feature of Southwestern cooking. The mildly pungent fruits vary in color from light green to dark green to red. These tapered peppers are 6 to 10 inches long by 1 to 2 inches around and are used fresh or dry to make decorative pepper chain wall hangings. The mature red peppers then to be hotter than the green. I often use these chile peppers in a Mexican dish called chile rellenos, where the peppers stuffed with cheese and then coated in egg before being fried. Their pungent flavor can also be used for stuffing, stews, and soups.
