GREEN CHILI ENCHILADA SAUCE, MILLIE'S



Green Chili Enchilada Sauce, Millie's image

I just love green chile enchilada sauce , but sometimes it can be hard to find where I live. I created this recipe so that I could make my own and freeze it. This year I put in a garden and grew a lot of anahiem peppers and tomatillos, so I started canning my sauce. Sometimes I will make it mild and other times I add serrano...

1 tsp salt
4 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp oregano, dried ( i was out of mexican oregano so i used italian)

  • 1. First fire roast your chiles and peel and clean them (** https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/soup/chili/fire-roasted-chilis-peppers.html?p=64)
  • 2. Peel the paper like husk from the tomatillo then wash them. Cut in half.

  • 4. Place in 8 quart pot on stove (heat off). Using a food processor, puree green chiles, a little at a time using chicken stock to thin it with. You will have to do several small batches. Puree each batch at least 1 1/2 - 2 minutes. Dump into your pot on stove.
  • 5. Now puree the tomatillos and onions and the juice. Using a strainer hooked over the pot of green chile mixture, strain tomatillo mixture. Use a rubber spatula to move it around. Tomatillos have a billion seeds ! This will take several batches also.
  • 6. Add remaining chicken stock to pot. Turn heat on and bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook 30 minutes. You are now ready to can sauce or freeze in bags. I can mine in a pressure cooker , 15lbs. of pressure for 90 minutes . (pints) *** be sure to follow recommendations for your elevation***
