in order to peel green chilis you have to roast or broil and char the peel and let them steam to peel---like eating celephane if you don't take that skin off---becarefull handling tham I just did 18 and even though I coated my hands with cooking oil I still have a bit of a burn---probably should have worn gloves---these were anaheim and poblanos---I love rellenos so will "suffer" anything to have them
