Oil-Packed Roasted Chiles
- 3 pounds mixed chiles, such as poblanos, Anaheims, Fresnos, jalapenos, serranos and habaneros
- About 3 cups pure olive oil, plus more for rubbing
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled
- Light a grill or preheat a grill pan.
- Lightly rub the chiles with oil and grill over high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly charred all over.
- Transfer the chiles to a bowl and cover with a towel.
- Let the chiles cool.
- Wearing latex gloves, rub the skins off of the chiles then remove the stems and seeds.
- Halve the smaller chiles and cut the larger ones into 1/2-inch strips.
- Pat the chiles dry.
- Transfer the chiles to small resealable freezer bags, storing the mild ones (like poblanos and Anaheims) separately from the hot ones (like Fresnos, jalapenos, serranos and habaneros).
- Sprinkle them very lightly with oregano.
- Add enough oil to cover the chiles.
- Seal the bags, pressing out the air, and freeze for up to 6 months.
