CHILI VERDE WITH SAUSAGE AND PUMPKIN



Chili Verde with Sausage and Pumpkin image

Provided by Aarón Sánchez

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 pounds tomatillos (6 to 8 medium)
5 serrano or 10 jalapeno peppers, stemmed (plus seeds, if you can take the heat)
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 large white onion, peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, roughly chopped
1 pound sausage meat (mild or hot)
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano (preferably Mexican), crumbled
3 cloves garlic, very finely chopped
1 15-ounce can hominy
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for topping
2 cups chopped peeled sugar pumpkin or butternut squash (about 8 ounces)
Kosher salt
Thinly sliced serrano or jalapeno peppers, for topping

Steps:

  • Make the tomatillo salsa: Preheat the broiler. Remove the husks from the tomatillos, then rinse the tomatillos under warm water to remove any stickiness. Dry with a paper towel. Put the tomatillos, chiles, garlic and sliced onion on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle on 2 teaspoons or so of salt. Broil a few inches from the heat, turning everything once, until the tomatillos are softened and slightly charred, about 7 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Transfer the broiled vegetables to a blender; add the cilantro and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Make the chili: Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until just translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the sausage and cook, stirring and breaking it up, until browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Spoon out and discard the excess fat, leaving 1 to 2 tablespoons in the pot. Stir in the oregano and garlic and cook, stirring, about 3 more minutes.
  • Stir in the tomatillo salsa, hominy (including the liquid), cilantro and pumpkin. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, covered, until the pumpkin is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Taste and season with salt, if necessary. Top with cilantro and chiles.

CHEF JOHN'S ITALIAN SAUSAGE CHILI



Chef John's Italian Sausage Chili image

I've added pork to ground beef in chili before, but I've never tried it with all Italian sausage, and I loved the results. We Italian'd this up even more with cannellini beans and a touch of basil, but other than that, it's a fairly classic chili. Garnish with sour cream, avocado, red onion, and basil.

Time 1h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ¼ pounds hot Italian sausage, casings removed
1 ¼ pounds mild Italian sausage, casings removed
1 onion, chopped
salt to taste
2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon chipotle chile powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
2 ½ cups water, or as needed
1 cup tomato puree
2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir hot Italian sausage, mild Italian sausage, onion, and a pinch of salt together in the pot, breaking up sausage with a wooden spoon. Cook until sausage is browned and crumbly, and most of the liquid is evaporated, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir ancho chile powder, paprika, cumin, ground black pepper, chipotle chile powder, and oregano into sausage mixture; saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour water and tomato puree into sausage mixture, bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook on a steady simmer until sausage is tender, about 45 minutes. Add water as necessary and skim any fat that floats to the top.
