This buttermilk and hatch chile cornbread has got to be one of the easiest recipes ever. A while back I bought hatch chiles at the market and have been using them ever since. When I brought them home I roasted, peeled, de-seeded, and froze them so they were ready to use whenever I needed. I have loved having them around because their flavor is unmatched. They are a little spicy, but have incredible flavor that lends well to any dish.
If you don’t have hatch chiles in your freezer like I do, a can of diced green chiles, or even poblanos that you roast yourself, will do well in this recipe. The buttermilk makes the cornbread so moist – it’s not quite as crumbly as when made with milk.
If you need an unexpected side dish for Thanksgiving or even a Christmas party, this would be absolutely fantastic. And, by the way this would also be a great addition in the cornbread salad (there’s a reason this is one of PH’s most popular recipes of all time).
