Categories     condiment

Time 1h55m

Yield about 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 poblano peppers, halved, seeded and deveined
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
10 tomatillos, husked and rinsed under cool water
10 tomatillos, husked and rinsed under cool water
6 cups vegetable broth
1 medium-ripe pear, peeled and cored
One 14-ounce can green chiles
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, tough ends discarded
1 1/2 teaspoons ground white pepper
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the poblano halves on a baking sheet and roast until they begin to shrivel, about 20 minutes. Transfer the roasted poblanos to a food processor and puree until smooth.
  • Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft and golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the onion to a plate and set aside to cool.
  • Bring a medium saucepan of water to a simmer. Add the tomatillos and blanch them until they turn vibrant in color and the center of the largest one is easily pierced with a fork, about 5 minutes. Drain the tomatillos in a fine-mesh sieve then run them under cold water to cool. Transfer the blanched tomatillos to the food processor bowl with the poblano puree, add the cooled onion, pears, green chiles, cilantro, and white pepper and process until smooth.
  • Bring the vegetable broth to a simmer in a saucepan. Add the poblano-tomatillo puree, cream and sour cream and reduce the heat to medium-low. Gently simmer the sauce, stirring often, until light and creamy, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth (or blend the sauce in batches using a standard blender). The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 4 months.

GREEN CHILE SAUCE



Green Chile Sauce image

Categories     Sauce     Roast     Fall     Kosher     Simmer

Yield makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 yellow onions, cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 cups (about 2 1/3 pounds) frozen roasted New Mexican green chile (such as Bueno Foods), page 154, thawed
10 to 12 cloves garlic, roasted and pureed (page 158)
1 tablespoon dried Mexican oregano, toasted (page 161)
2 1/4 cups water
3 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons peanut oil or lard

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-low heat; add the onions and sauté just until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes (do not let them brown). Add the chiles, garlic, and oregano and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 2 cups of the water, salt, and sugar and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes more. Remove from the heat.
  • In the jar of a blender, add the chile mixture, lime juice, cilantro, and the remaining 1/4 cup water. Puree until smooth.
  • In large, heavy nonstick skillet, heat the peanut oil over high heat until just smoking. Refry the sauce at a sizzle, stirring constantly, until it coats a wooden spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. Do not allow the sauce to become too thick; add more liquid if necessary. It will keep 1 week in the refrigerator and 1 month in the freezer.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: For the best flavor, use a combination of fresh and roasted peppers. Poblano, Anaheim, and jalapeño peppers are all good choices.
  • Roast the peppers: Roasting the peppers brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs: Once the peppers are roasted, remove the seeds and ribs. This will help to reduce the spiciness of the sauce.
  • Use a blender or food processor: To make the sauce, you can use a blender or a food processor. If you use a blender, be sure to start with a small amount of liquid and add more as needed.
  • Season to taste: Once the sauce is blended, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and cumin. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder or onion powder.

Conclusion:

Chile macho is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and other Mexican dishes. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for chips or vegetables. With its smoky flavor and just the right amount of heat, chile macho is sure to please everyone at your table.
