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.

CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE IN GREEN CHILE AND SOUR CREAM SAUCE



Chicken Enchilada Casserole in Green Chile and Sour Cream Sauce image

Not the most "healthy" recipe, but it's very tasty! Very creamy and rich enchilada chicken casserole. If you prefer the more traditional rolled enchiladas, all you have to do is place the chicken and sauce mix (approx 3 Tbsp) in the center of each corn tortilla, roll, and place in casserole dish with the seam side down...then cover the rolls with remaining sauce and cheese. I was feeling lazy, so I did it casserole style.

STACKED CAULIFLOWER ENCHILADA WITH GREEN CHILE SAUCE



Stacked Cauliflower Enchilada With Green Chile Sauce image

This recipe sounds so interesting to me that I decided to post it. If cauliflower can be prepared like mashed potatoes, then why not an enchilada! This recipe is designed for the slow cooker and comes from The Gourmet Vegetarian Slow Cooker cookbook. Note: You can vary the type of vegetables according to the season and what's in your garden or market at any given time. The recipe states that this dish is even better as leftovers.

Provided by DailyInspiration

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 5h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 head cauliflower
1 white onion, cut vertically into 8 pieces
1 cup black california olive, pitted and sliced
2 tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
6 -9 corn tortillas
1/2 lb smoked cheddar cheese (or regular cheddar or Monterey Jack)
1 (28 ounce) can green enchilada sauce
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Trim and core the cauliflower, then wash and slice the head vertically (you will be placing it in layers in the casserole, so you want the pieces fairly thin). Pull the onion layers apart. In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, onion, olives, tomatoes and beans using your hands.
  • Oil the inside of the slow cooker insert. Place 2-3 overlapping tortillas in the bottom of the insert. Add a layer of half the mixed vegetables and top it with a generous sprinkling of cheese (about one-third of the cheese). Pour 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce over the layer.
  • Add another layer of tortillas, then the remaining vegetables and another one-third of the cheese. Pour on another 1/2 cup of sauce. Finish with an additional layer of tortillas and the remaining 2 1/2 cups sauce. (Even though you may appear to have an excess of sauce, much of it is absorbed into the tortillas and vegetables as they cook.).
  • Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours, or until the cauliflower is tender. Top the casserole with the remaining cheese, cover, and cook an additional 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
  • Turn off the heat and allow the contents of the insert to sit for 10-15 minutes to set, then carefully scoop up generous individual servings of the enchilada into bowls. Top each serving with a sprinkle of cilantro and a dollop of sour cream.

Time 20m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 lbs New Mexico green chilies (or subsitute Anaheim chilies w/ 3-4 jalapenos)
8 cloves garlic, roasted,peeled and chopped
4 cups water
4 teaspoons roasted oregano (or subsitute 2 teaspoons dried)
1 teaspoon roasted ground cumin
2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Roast the green chilies under the broiler for 5 minutes or until slightly blackened.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chiles: For a milder sauce, use Anaheim or Poblano chiles. For a spicier sauce, use Serrano or Jalapeño chiles.
  • Roast the chiles directly over an open flame or under a broiler until they are blackened and blistered. This will help to release their flavor and make them easier to peel.
  • Remove the stems and seeds from the chiles before cooking them. This will help to reduce the heat of the sauce.
  • Add other ingredients to your sauce, such as garlic, onion, cumin, and oregano, to enhance the flavor.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Use the sauce on your favorite Mexican dishes, such as enchiladas, tacos, and burritos.

Conclusion:

Green chile sauce is a versatile and flavorful sauce that can be used to add a kick of heat to any dish. It is easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. So next time you are looking for a way to spice up your meal, try making a batch of green chile sauce.
