Categories     Chile/Soup

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 T vegetable oil
1 large onion chopped (At least 1 c)
3 garlic cloves minced
2 T flour
1 1/ 2 c chopped mild green chiles or use 2 c of your choice of chile
½ c chopped hot green chili
1/2 t ground cumin
Pinch of Mexican oregano
2 c chicken stock (I make this with Better Than Bouillon) Just mix a good spoonful into the hot water or directly into hot soup.
1 t salt - you may want to test as the bouillon does give it a nice degree of saltiness

Steps:

  • Heat oil and add onion. Cook about 5 minutes and add garlic.
  • Cook another minute and stir in flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes stirring so flour doesn't burn and also so that it cooks and you don't get a floury taste.
  • Add chilies. Pour in stock and seasonings. Taste for salt and adjust if necessary.
  • Bring to boil over medium heat and cook for about 15 to 30 minutes on a low simmer covered.
  • If you want it thicker add more broth or water. This can cook for longer if you want your chile a softer texture.

Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound boneless pork shoulder, cubed
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
2 pounds roasted Anaheim or New Mexico chiles

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the cubed pork, garlic, onion, cumin and oregano. Cook and stir until pork is browned.
  • Cook and stir for a few more minutes, then pour in the vegetable broth. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chiles: Look for plump, firm chiles with no blemishes or bruises. The best time to buy New Mexico Hatch green chiles is in late August and early September.
  • Roast the chiles properly: Roasting the chiles brings out their flavor and makes them easier to peel. You can roast them in the oven, on a grill, or over an open flame.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs: The seeds and ribs of the chiles can be spicy, so it's best to remove them before eating. You can do this by using a sharp knife or a spoon.
  • Use gloves when handling chiles: The capsaicin in chiles can irritate your skin, so it's important to wear gloves when handling them. If you do get capsaicin on your skin, wash it off with soap and water immediately.
  • Store roasted chiles properly: Roasted chiles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Roasted New Mexico Hatch green chiles are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They can be roasted, grilled, or fried, and they can be used to make salsas, sauces, soups, stews, and more.
