HATCH CHILE VERDE



Hatch Chile Verde image

Hubby and I are Hatch chile fanatics. We buy 50 pounds of roasted Hatch chiles when they are in season. We portion them out and freeze them so they are readily available. This chile verde does not call for tomatillos because I wanted the chiles to be the star of the recipe.

EASY CHILE VERDE



Easy Chile Verde image

If you order a bowl of authentic Mexican chile verde in the Southwest, you'll find hunks of juicy, tender pork shoulder that have been braised for hours in a tart tomatillo-chile sauce. While the original is worthy of a special weekend project, we wanted a recipe that we could make on any lazy Sunday and still be delicious. By using storebought ingredients that bring maximum flavor with the minimal amount of fuss, we created a hearty and warming chile verde that is practically hands-off. In a rush? Try the pressure-cooker version of this recipe, instead.

CHICKEN CHILE VERDE



Chicken Chile Verde image

During culinary school I worked at a Mexican restaurant in Saranac Lake, NY, called Casa Del Sol. My favorite dish was the Chile Verde. In this version I simmer large chunks of chicken slowly in an exotic green sauce of tomatillos and chilies.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 2h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 whole chicken, cut into 6 pieces
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 tomatillos, husked and quartered
2 fresh jalapeno peppers, chopped
6 cloves garlic
½ bunch cilantro
3 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, diced
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 bay leaf
1 ½ pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup sour cream, for garnish

Steps:

  • Season chicken pieces with salt and black pepper on all sides.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, 2 to 3 pieces at a time, until browned on all sides, about 15 minutes total. Set aside.
  • Place tomatillos, jalepeno peppers, garlic, cilantro, and chicken stock in a blender and puree until smooth. Set aside.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your chile verde will taste. If possible, use fresh chiles, tomatoes, and onions.
  • Roast the chiles: Roasting the chiles brings out their flavor and makes them easier to peel. You can roast the chiles in a hot oven or on a grill.
  • Use a variety of chiles: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of chiles. This will give your chile verde a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overcook the pork: Pork should be cooked until it is tender, but not overcooked. Overcooked pork will be tough and dry.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Chile verde is traditionally served with tortillas, rice, and beans. You can also serve it with other toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.

Conclusion:

Chile verde is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover pork and it is also a good source of protein and vegetables. If you are looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give chile verde a try. You won't be disappointed!
