CHRIS'S PUEBLO GREEN CHILI SAUCE



Chris's Pueblo Green Chili Sauce image

This recipe comes from Southern Colorado and I have been making it for over 20 years. It is my favorite thing to cook and eat. If you like hot and spicy Mexican food, this is a recipe for you! I made it for our friends and it has become a hit here in Corpus Christi, Texas! The great thing is you can also make it hotter or milder, depending on your taste! In Pueblo, Colorado, we served it over burritos, or enchilada's. My personal favorite way to eat Green Chile (especially on a cold day) is by placing a hamburger bun in a bowl, add a plain hamburger (with or without cheese), smother it with the Green Chile Sauce, then top it with diced onion and oyster crackers. In Colorado we call these green chili sloppers! They are great served with a beer!

1/4 cup vegetable oil or 1/4 cup bacon fat
8 -10 large roasted green chilies, skins removed, torn into strips (Hatch or Poblano are best)
24 ounces chicken broth (approximately)

1/4 cup flour (approx.)
1 small yellow onion
1 -2 lb pork (diced or ground)

Steps:

  • In large stainless kettle, brown pork in bacon fat or vegetable oil.
  • (bacon fat has better flavor.) Cook on medium heat till meat is slightly pink.
  • Add diced onion and garlic, cook till soft.
  • Add flour and stir, browning flour as you would a roux (rue).
  • Add some of your water if flour is too thick, keep stirring till it bubbles.
  • Add chicken broth.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a bubble, then turn heat to low.
  • Cook uncovered for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • If your chile is too thin, add more flour.
  • If your chile is too thick, add more chicken broth.
  • Taste often and add more spices or peppers to your liking!
  • If you do not like chunks of tomato or peppers, place the RoTel, tomatoes and canned diced green chile's into a blender and puree them!
  • (This is the way I like my sauce. I only add the Pueblo or Poblano peppers whole to my chile).

GREEN CHILE STEW

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large potato
8 ounces fresh ground beef
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup flour
3/4 cup mild green chiles (prefer fresh, but can substitute with frozen or canned)
1/2 cup hot green chiles (prefer fresh, but can substitute with frozen or canned)
1 1/2 cups corn (prefer cut off cob, but can substitute frozen or canned)
2 teaspoons green chili powder

Steps:

  • Start by peeling and cubing the potato into 1/2-inch diameter pieces and set aside.
  • Next, in a saute pan on medium heat, cook the ground beef and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • While the beef is cooking, place 4 cups water in a stock pot with the potatoes and bring to a boil. Cook the potatoes until fork tender; do not cook until the potatoes mash.
  • When all the rawness is cooked out of the beef, turn off the heat. Slowly add the flour while mixing into the beef in order to make a roux. Mix the flour into the beef completely until no dry flour remains. (Depending on the fat ratio of the beef, you may need to add more or less flour. This all depends on how thick you want your stew in texture.)
  • Once your roux is complete, add to the stockpot with the cooked potatoes. The meat may be in large pieces, so with a large spoon, break up into desired size. Once the meat is fully broken down, add the green chiles, corn, green chili powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons black pepper. Fully mix all the ingredients and place the stockpot back on the stove top. Bring up to temperature on medium heat. Once the soup is at proper serving temperature, serve in medium bowls and enjoy. Feel free to add cheese or sour cream if desired.
  • Optional serving suggestions: grated cheese, sour cream.

PUEBLO COLORADO GREEN CHILE



Pueblo Colorado Green Chile image

This was my Aunts Green Chile recipe. She was from Pueblo Colorado and they grow the best green chiles you can find. My aunt showed my mom the recipes and my mom showed me when i was just 4. I have it memorized now. Always have chilies roasted. You don't have to use Pueblo chilies. You can use good roasted Hatch Chiles . We like to serve it with canned re-fried beans heated up with cheese stirred in. then make a burrito out of both. Its great on eggs and burritos.

  • Roast the green chiles before using them. Roasting brings out the flavor of the chiles and makes them easier to peel and chop.
  • Use a variety of beans in your stew. This will give the stew a more complex flavor and texture.
