Chile Verde Recipes

Steps:

• Pour half of the Worcestershire sauce into the pan of a slow cooker, and half of the garlic pepper. Place the roast in the pan, and sprinkle remaining Worcestershire sauce and garlic pepper over the top. Add the onions, and chilies, and pour in the chicken broth. Cover, and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours.
• When the roast is tender enough to pull apart with a fork, add the green salsa, and the beans, if desired. Continue cooking until heated through. Serve as soup or over chimichangas.

Steps:

• Cut pork or beef into small cubes.
• Sauté in oil until browned.
• Drain off fat.
• Add chopped chilies, garlic, onion, tomato and water.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Cover tightly and simmer for about an hour, until tender.

Steps:

• Season the pork meat generously with salt and pepper, lightly flour. Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium high heat and brown pork chunks well in small batches, on all sides. Lift pork out of pan and place in a wide soup pot. Discard fat and place the onions and peppers in the same skillet and sweat over moderate heat, stirring occasionally until limp, about 5 minutes. Add all of the chiles and cook an additional 3-4 minutes, then add the garlic and cook 1-2 minutes more.
• Add the Sauteed vegetables, chopped tomatillos, dried herbs and cilantro to the meat, cover with the chicken stock and bring up to a boil and reduce to a slight simmer. Cook for 2-3 hours uncovered or until the pork is fork tender.
• Adjust the seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with red rice for a delightful contrast.

Steps:

• Peel and crush the roasted Anaheim chiles; set aside.
• Remove the fat from the pork shoulder and cut the fat into small pieces. In a large pan over medium-high heat, fry the fat until crisp, 4 or 5 minutes, and then remove the chunks of fat from the pan.
• Sweat the onions and garlic in the same saute pan, cooking them in the residual pork fat. Cut the pork shoulder into 1/4-inch pieces and add them to the pan and saute until browned. Add the bay leaves, oregano, tomatoes, and Anaheim chiles. Simmer over low heat for about 25 minutes. Add the water, chicken base, and salt, to taste. Bring to a boil and then cover and simmer for 2 hours or until tender.
• Slowly add the flour in small amounts, until the mixture has reached your desired thickness; do not exceed 1/4 cup flour. If desired, return the crispy fat to the mixture to add additional pork flavor. Serve in bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.

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.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine oregano, cumin, and chile powder. In a chili pot, combine enchilada sauce, tomatillos, and salsa verde. Press tomatillos against the side of the pot to crush. Add the oregano mixture to the liquids. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently.
• Brown the meat in lard or oil in batches with onions and pressed garlic. Drain meat and add to chili pot. Add diced green chiles. Return pot to simmer.
• After 2 hours, add half of finely minced green peppers. Add salt, as desired. Taste and adjust, adding additional minced peppers as desired. After 2 1/2 hours thicken or thin, as needed. After 2 3/4 hours, adjust salt and other seasonings as needed.
• Just before serving, add lime juice and cilantro.

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, heat the corn oil over low heat and add the Anaheim chiles, poblanos, jalapenos and onions and cook until softened but not browned, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, over an open flame, roast the tomatillos, turning occasionally, until they are charred. Set aside to cool, then puree in a blender until smooth.
• Add the pureed tomatillos to the pan with the chiles. Add 12 cups water and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sauce thickens, 30 to 40 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch together with 1 1/2 cups water to make a slurry. Whisk the slurry into the sauce and cook until thick, 10 minutes more. Add the hot sauce. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper. Take off the heat and chill.
• Serve with refried beans, corn tortillas, eggs any style with Colby-Jack cheese melted over the top or braised pork and white rice.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add 1/2 cup of olive oil. Stir in the onion, garlic, serrano and jalapeno peppers and cook until soft. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Place the pork shoulder in a large heavy bottomed pot, coated with oil, over medium heat and sear until well browned on all sides. Deglaze with the chicken broth, and then add sauteed onions and peppers. Turn heat to low, cover and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the Anaheim peppers on a sheet pan.
• Peel the outer paper skins off the tomatillos, then coat with olive oil and place on another sheet pan. Place both pans in the preheated oven and roast until the peppers are nicely charred and the tomatillos are soft, about 20 minutes.
• Remove pans from the oven and place the peppers in a plastic bag to let them steam for 5 minutes.
• Peel and seed peppers, and then puree them with the tomatillos in a food processor. Add the puree to the pork mixture, stir, and then let simmer on low heat.
• Combine the garlic powder, black pepper, ground cumin, Mexican oregano, ground coriander and salt in a small bowl, then add to pork mixture and stir well.
• In a small saute pan, mix 1/2 cup olive oil with the corn flour, stirring over low heat for 2 minutes to make a masa roux.
• Let the chili mixture simmer for approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours on medium-low heat, or until pork is nice and tender. Then stir in masa roux and simmer for 10 more minutes.

Steps:

• Place pork in a wide nonstick frying pan.
• Drain about 1/2 cup liquid from tomatoes into pan. Bring to a boil over high heat; then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Uncover pan; add onions, celery, oregano, and sage.
• Cook over high heat, stirring often, until liquid has evaporated and drippings are browned (8 to 10 minutes).
• Add bay leaves. Cut up tomatoes then add tomatoes and their remaining liquid and stir to scrape browned bits free.
• Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 more minutes.
• Stir in bell pepper and chilies; cover and continue to cook stirring occasionally until pork is very tender when pierced (about 15 more minutes).
• If chili is too thin, uncover and simmer until it's as thick as you like.
• Skim and discard fat, if necessary.
• To serve, spoon chili over rice and garnish with cilantro sprigs.

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add chicken, skin side down, and cook without moving until skin is golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn chicken and lightly brown on other sides, about 2 minutes each. Transfer chicken to plate; remove and discard skin.
• While chicken is browning, in food processor, process half of poblano chiles, Anaheim chiles, and onions until consistency of chunky salsa, ten 1-second pulses, scraping down sides of workbowl halfway through. Transfer mixture to medium bowl. Repeat with remaining poblano chiles, Anaheim chiles, and onions; combine with first batch (do not wash food processor blade or workbowl).
• Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from Dutch oven (adding additional vegetable oil if necessary) and reduce heat to medium. Add 2/3 minced jalapeños, chile-onion mixture, garlic, cumin, coriander, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften, about 10 minutes. Remove pot from heat.
• Transfer 1 cup cooked vegetable mixture to now-empty food processor workbowl. Add 1 cup beans and 1 cup broth and process until smooth, about 20 seconds. Add vegetable-bean mixture, remaining 2 cups broth, and chicken breasts to Dutch oven and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until chicken registers 160 degrees, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to large plate. Stir in remaining beans and continue to simmer, uncovered, until beans are heated through and chili has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.
• When cool enough to handle, shred chicken into bite-sized pieces, discarding bones. Stir shredded chicken, lime juice, cilantro, scallions, and remaining minced jalapeño into chili and return to simmer. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Cut your pork roast into bite-sized cubes while your oil is heating in a large saute pan.
• While the pork is browning, dice your celery and onion.
• Once the pork is browned, add in the onion and celery.
• After your onion, celery and pork have cooked down a bit, add in the salsa verde, diced green chiles and El Pato (I use the jalapeno version for this recipe. It's the one that comes in the green can). Add as much of this as you'd like,but take heed that it's warmer than the other salsas.
• Stir together and let simmer.
• Juice the lime into the mix, season with the celery salt, add the cumin and mix.
• I love to serve this with sour cream, diced cilantro and shaved cabbage (red or green works great). It also goes well with these tortillas:http://www.recipezaar.com/65491.
• YUMMY! Delicious left overs for a few days too :).

Steps:

• Cut pork in 1/2 inch cubes and braise in preheated dutch oven. (no need to add oil). (if you are using onion add at this point and cook til translucent). Salt. And generous amounts of ground cumin, and a dash or two of chili powder Add all canned items - do not drain. Bring to a slow boil, then simmer, covered at least 1 hour (til pork is tender).
• To serve:.
• Make burritos.
• Good with refried rice, guacamole etc. Can be covered with queso, or verde sauce if desired. I usually cover mine with salsa, depending on what type we have on hand.
• PS: Best make one burrito and serve, then make one for the next person. If you make a platter full of burritos, they are apt to get soggy. Or you can put all ingredients on the table, and let everyone make their own.

Steps:

• Cook 1 cup dry rice which makes 3 cups cooked rice.
• Preheat oven to 350.
• Combine sour cream, chiles and salt in a bowl.
• Layer ingredients in a loaf pan. Or if doubling or tripling the recipe for a crowd layer in a removable crock from a crock pot that can be baked in the oven.
• Layer as follows: a third of the rice, half of the sour cream mixture, half of the cheeses, a third of the rice, remaining half of the sour cream mixture, remaining half of the cheeses, remaining third of the rice, sprinkle top with extra jack cheese.
• Loaf pan bakes at 350 for 25 min until bubbly.
• Crock bakes approx 60-90 min until bubbly then can be in crockpot on low or warm for hours.

Steps:

• Roast chiles under a broiler, turning every 5 minutes or so, until blackened on all sides.
• Put the chiles into a paper bag or covered bowl and let them steam for a couple of minutes.
• Peel the skin off of the chiles, remove the seeds, and cut them into 1" square strips. Finely chop the Jalapeño.

• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• [Optional] For an extra layer of flavor and texture, add half an onion, cut into a large dice, 20 min before the end of cooking.
• [Variation] For a quicker prep time, brown the onion first, add the meat, scatter on some flour, salt, and pepper, and stir until it colors a bit, and then continue with the remaining instructions.

Steps:

• Into a large, heavy pot, add the onion, garlic, salsa verde, broth or beer, and the meatballs.
• Simmer on low for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally; add the ground cumin and simmer for 15 minutes more.
