Ingredients

1½ pounds mild Hatch Chiles (click here for How to Roast & Peel Peppers)* roasted, peeled, seeded, finely chopped
1¼ cups finely chopped fresh pineapple (click here for How to Cut a Pineapple)*
½ cup finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro, washed, dried
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil washed, dried
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Hatch Chile powder or Ancho chile powder
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Combine the roasted chiles, pineapple, onion, cilantro, basil, oil and Hatch Chile powder in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Mix to blend, and then season to taste with salt and pepper. (Here's How to Season to Taste.)
You can serve this right away, or for best results, let it sit for at least an hour, so the flavors blend together.

Notes

*You can substitute Hatch with Ahaheim or Poblano chiles.
