Description

New Mexican Green Chile made from Hatch chiles is amazing. Spicy or not, this fresh roasted green chile can’t be beat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 T vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion chopped (At least 1 c)
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 T flour
  • 1 1/ 2 c roasted, peeled and seeded, chopped mild green chiles or use 2 c of your choice of heat level for chili
  • ½ c roasted, peeled and seeded, chopped hot green chili
  • 1/2 to 1 t ground cumin or more
  • Pinch of Mexican oregano
  • 2 c chicken stock (I make this with Better Than Bouillon) Just mix a good spoonful into the hot water or directly into hot soup.
  • 1 t salt – you may want to test as the bouillon does give it a nice degree of saltiness

Instructions

Heat oil and add onion. Cook about 5 minutes and add garlic.

Cook another minute and stir in flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes stirring so flour doesn’t burn and also so that it cooks and you don’t get a floury taste.

Add chilies. Pour in stock and seasonings. Taste for salt and adjust if necessary.

Bring to boil over medium heat and cook for about 15 to 30 minutes on a low simmer covered.

If you want it thinner add more broth or water and simmer longer if you want your chili a softer texture.


Notes

Chile can also be pureed with an immersion blender if you want a smoother sauce. This makes a great green chili sauce.

Some prefer a chunkier texture which is great for eating as soup with fresh flour tortillas.

Want to make a green chili stew?Add some cubes of pork, corn, and boiled potatoes.
