TRADITIONAL-STYLE NEW MEXICO GREEN CHILE SAUCE
Every New Mexican cook has a green chile sauce, but it has to be very good sauce, or her reputation as a good cook suffers. They serve this sauce at any meal. At breakfast it is served over eggs or potatoes. It is used over burritos, in enchiladas, or over grilled meats and roasted potatoes for lunch or dinner. It is best when it is fresh or used within one day of being made. This recipe comes from Sandy Szwarc's "Real New Mexico Chile".

NEW MEXICO GREEN CHILE SAUCE
This is a versatile green Chile sauce that can be used for just about anything calling for a green sauce. I prefer using Hatch Big Jim Green Chile Peppers because of the flavor and medium heat. The heat index can be raised or lowered depending on the Chile peppers used. If you already have roasted and chopped green chilies skip the first 4 directions.

Steps:
- Set oven rack 6 inches from the heat source and preheat oven's broiler.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place chile peppers cut-side down on baking sheet.
- Broil in the preheated oven until the skin is heavily blistered and turning black, about 4 minutes.
- Transfer chile peppers to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 15 minutes. Peel and chop the chile peppers.
- Heat oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until browned, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in flour until mixture thickens. Stir in chopped chile peppers, beef broth, and salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
Tips:
- When roasting the chiles, be sure to keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. You can also roast the chiles in a comal or skillet over medium heat.
- To remove the seeds and ribs from the chiles, slit them open and scrape them out with a spoon. You can also use a pair of kitchen shears to cut them out.
- If you don't have a blender, you can mash the chiles by hand using a potato masher or fork.
- You can adjust the heat of the sauce by adding more or less chiles. If you want a milder sauce, you can also remove some of the seeds.
- This sauce can be used as a condiment for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and other Mexican dishes. It can also be used as a marinade for chicken, beef, or pork.
Conclusion:
This traditional-style New Mexico green chile sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it mild or spicy, this sauce is sure to please everyone at your table.
