Best Green Tomato Chili Verde Recipes

COLORADO GREEN CHILI (CHILE VERDE)

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper to taste, then place into the hot oil. Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 7 minutes. Once browned, remove the pork and set aside. Reduce heat to medium, and stir in the onion and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Return the pork to the pot, and stir in the green chiles, diced tomatoes with juice, tomatillo salsa, and chicken broth. Season with oregano and clove. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes.
• After 20 minutes, remove 2 cups of the soup (ensure there are no pork cubes in it), and pour into a blender. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree until smooth, then pour back into the cooking pot. This will create a thicker texture for your chili and will eliminate some of the chunky bits of chiles. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally until the pork is very tender, at least 35 minutes more.

CHILI VERDE - RECIPE

Steps:

• Make your verde sauce first. Preheat your oven to broil.
• Slice the peeled and rinsed tomatillos in half through the horizontal center (not up and down) and arrange on a lightly oiled baking dish with the skin sides up.
• Place the peppers on a separate lightly oiled baking sheet skin sides up.
• Bake the peppers and tomatillos about 12-15 minutes until skin side is blistering on both the tomatillos and peppers. Rotate the baking sheets if needed. You may need up to 20 minutes, depending on your proximity to the heat element.
• Remove from heat and cool slightly. Peel off the pepper skins and discard them. You can peel off the tomatillos skins if you'd like, but I leave them on.
• Add the tomatillos and peppers to a food processor. Process until smooth. Set aside for now.

GREEN TOMATO SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the green tomatoes on the baking sheet, stem-side down, and place under the broiler about 2 inches from the heat. Broil two to five minutes, until charred. Using tongs, turn the tomatoes over, and grill on the other side for two to five minutes, until blackened. Remove from the heat. When cool enough to handle, core the tomatoes and remove the charred skin. Quarter and place in a blender or a food processor fitted with a steel blade (I prefer the blender).
• Add the remaining ingredients, except the water, to the blender or food processor, and blend to a coarse or a smooth puree (to your taste). Transfer to a bowl, taste and adjust seasonings, and thin out with water if desired. Allow to stand for 30 minutes or longer before serving to allow the flavors to develop. You may wish to thin out after it stands.

SPEEDY CHILI VERDE

Steps:

• Cook the rice according to the package instructions.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil and butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. When the oil is hot and the butter has melted, add the garlic, poblanos, onions and jalapenos, then stir to combine. Add the sausage meat and season with the salt and pepper. Cook the sausage, crumbling it as you go, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the enchilada sauce, salsa verde and green chiles with their liquid. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, to thicken and develop the flavors. Stir in the lime juice. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
• Serve alongside the rice and garnish with the sour cream, radish, cilantro and hot sauce.

GREEN TOMATO BEEF CHILI

Steps:

• Season the steak (pretty heavily) and chop into cubes. Season ground beef also. Set aside.
• In a skillet on medium-high, throw peppers on there to heat up and roast for 10 minutes or until they have dark spots.
• In the meantime, chop up green tomatoes (about 5 large ones) and, if using ripe tomatoes, chop those up also. Once the peppers have started showing dark spots, remove from skillet and throw into food processor, along with the tomatoes and onions.You can add the paprika then to the tomato puree or wait until everything's combined.
• Add the cubed steak to the skillet and sear until it is just pink in the center.
• Throw into crockpot (or wherever you will make the chili).
• Cook seasoned ground beef.
• Add tomato/onion/pepper puree to crockpot (or pot on stove) and mix with steak.
• Finally, add the cooked ground beef.
• Once the contents are hot and have been boiling for 15 minutes, add the beans. If they are not canned, add between 1/2 and 1 cup of water to the pot. This will depend on if you want the chili to be ready quickly or if you want to let it simmer in the crockpot for a few hours. I think that the more you let it simmer, the better it tastes.
