Caldillo of Smoked Brisket with Green Chiles image

This is from the Best of the Best from Texas. Here's what the intro says. At an altitude of nearly four thousand feet, El Paso gets darned cold in winter, and when it does, our attention turns to the kitchen, where a big pot of caldillo is soon simmering away. Caldillo means "little broth", and while it can be generically...

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 long green chiles
3 Tbsp olive oil
4 c onion, coarsely chopped
1 Tbsp dried oregano, crumbled
8 c beef broth or chicken broth, homemade or canned
2 1/2 lb boiling potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 c canned crushed tomatoes with added puree
2 lb smoked brisket or left-over pot roast of beef, pork or lamb trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. In the open flame of a gas burner or under a preheated broiler, roast the long green chiles, turning them, until they are lightly but evenly charred.
  • 2. Steam the chiles in a paper bag, or in a bowl, covered with a plate, until cool.
  • 3. Rub away the burned peel. Stem and seed the chiles and coarsely chop them. There should be about 2 cups.
  • 4. In a deep pot over low heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onions, cumin, and oregano, and cook, covered, stirring once or twice, for 15 minutes.
  • 5. Add the broth, potatoes, tomatoes, and green chiles, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, partially covered, stirring once or twice, for 30 minutes. Add the cubed brisket and continue to simmer until the potatoes and the meat are very tender and the stew is thick, about 15 minutes. Add salt to taste.

This caldillo was just okay. The brisket was a bit tough and the green chiles were too spicy for my taste. I wouldn't make this again.

This caldillo was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. The brisket was cooked perfectly and the green chiles added a nice flavor. I would recommend using less chiles if you don't like spicy food.

I've made this caldillo a few times now and it's always a hit. The brisket is always so tender and the green chiles give it a nice smoky flavor. I usually serve it with rice and beans, but it's also great with tortillas.

I'm not usually a fan of brisket, but this recipe changed my mind. The smoking process really tenderized the meat and the green chiles gave it a nice kick. I'll definitely be making this again.

I've made this caldillo a few times now and it's always a hit. The flavors are so rich and complex, and the brisket is always so tender. I love that it's a one-pot meal, too, which makes it easy to clean up.

This caldillo was an absolute delight! The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender and the green chiles added a perfect amount of spice. I served it over rice and it was the perfect comfort food for a chilly night.
