hatch chile juanIt really is the month of Hatch chiles, siblings to Anaheims grown in Hatch, N.M. Add Brookshire's to the list of stores featuring the pods. They come in mild and hot versions, and because they're so fresh, they're also quite fragrant. Go to the next page for a recipe: Cheesy Hatch Chile Rice.

At farmers markets, the summer season is winding down. Best bets are still okra, peas, beans and squash. There are a few local, late-summer-crop tomatoes. Also dwindling supplies of peaches, cucumbers, onions, watermelon, cantaloupe, red new potatoes and Asian pears.

Preheat oven to 350 F. In a medium pot, melt 1/2 tablespoon butter. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped onion and 1 minced clove of garlic, and saute till onions are soft. Add 1 cup rice and 1 1/2 cups chicken broth; cook rice according to package directions, adjusting the amount of broth depending on the type of rice used.

Turn off heat and remove pot from stove. Add 2 roasted Hatch chiles, diced. Add 1/2 cup sour cream and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until incorporated. Pour into an oven-proof casserole. Top with 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese and a dash of paprika for garnish. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Makes 4 servings. Do not invite the food police to eat this.
