CHRIS'S PUEBLO GREEN CHILI SAUCE



Chris's Pueblo Green Chili Sauce image

This recipe comes from Southern Colorado and I have been making it for over 20 years. It is my favorite thing to cook and eat. If you like hot and spicy Mexican food, this is a recipe for you! I made it for our friends and it has become a hit here in Corpus Christi, Texas! The great thing is you can also make it hotter or milder, depending on your taste! In Pueblo, Colorado, we served it over burritos, or enchilada's. My personal favorite way to eat Green Chile (especially on a cold day) is by placing a hamburger bun in a bowl, add a plain hamburger (with or without cheese), smother it with the Green Chile Sauce, then top it with diced onion and oyster crackers. In Colorado we call these green chili sloppers! They are great served with a beer!

Time 3h40m

Yield 1 Kettle of Chili, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 -4 serrano chilies, diced (depending on how hot you want your chile, don't add if you want mild chile)
1/4 cup vegetable oil or 1/4 cup bacon fat
8 -10 large roasted green chilies, skins removed, torn into strips (Hatch or Poblano are best)
24 ounces chicken broth (approximately)
1 (12 ounce) can Rotel tomatoes & chilies
1 cup water
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon Season-All salt
1 teaspoon fresh cilantro or 1 teaspoon dried cilantro
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper
1/4 cup flour (approx.)
1 small yellow onion
1 -2 lb pork (diced or ground)

Steps:

  • In large stainless kettle, brown pork in bacon fat or vegetable oil.
  • (bacon fat has better flavor.) Cook on medium heat till meat is slightly pink.
  • Add diced onion and garlic, cook till soft.
  • Add flour and stir, browning flour as you would a roux (rue).
  • Add some of your water if flour is too thick, keep stirring till it bubbles.
  • Add chicken broth.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a bubble, then turn heat to low.
  • Cook uncovered for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • If your chile is too thin, add more flour.
  • If your chile is too thick, add more chicken broth.
  • Taste often and add more spices or peppers to your liking!
  • If you do not like chunks of tomato or peppers, place the RoTel, tomatoes and canned diced green chile's into a blender and puree them!
  • (This is the way I like my sauce. I only add the Pueblo or Poblano peppers whole to my chile).

COLORADO GREEN CHILI (CHILE VERDE)

My version of my mother's green chili. I like to serve it over oven-baked burritos or with beans and rice. If you can't find a chile roaster, look for frozen diced chiles at your supermarket. You can also freeze fresh roasted chiles for off-season use.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ pounds cubed pork stew meat
salt and pepper to taste
1 large yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chopped, roasted green chiles
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
1 ½ cups tomatillo salsa
5 cups chicken broth
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch ground cloves

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.

PORK GREEN CHILI (COLORADO STYLE)



Pork Green Chili (Colorado Style) image

I grew up in Colorado and so I grew up loving green chili! When I moved to North Carolina 4 years ago I was surprised and very disappointed to learn that NO ONE here had ever even heard of green chili. I have spent the last year going through different recipes, I think I have finally got it nailed through a great mix of about 6 of the recipes I tried. Jalapeños may be added to taste if you like the flavor. Chili can be served over any burritos, served as a dip with tortilla chips, or as a main course with warm tortillas. Recipe makes a lot but it freezes well so you can enjoy it for a few months without having to spend too much time cooking.
