Everyone around here in NM buys the large bags (35--50 lbs) of green
chile, roasts them or has them roasted by the supermarket and prepares
them (removes the charred skins and seeds) for....freezing!

That's what's done and it works perfectly. Have tried drying them but a
lot of flavour seems to be lost. Freezing is good!
