Hatch Green Chili Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the 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 skin is heavily blistered and turning black, about 4 minutes per side.
• 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 a 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.

Steps:

• In a medium sauce pan, saute the onion and garlic in the oil over medium-high heat, until tender (about 3 minutes).
• Stir in the flour, cumin, salt and pepper and cook over medium heat, stirring, for 2 minutes.
• Stir in the stock and simmer until thick and smooth.
• Stir in the chiles and oregano.
• At this point you may cool, and store in refrigerator, covered, for up to one day.
• To serve, heat thoroughly.

Steps:

• Roast and peel the chilies, reserving the peels, stems and seeds. I like to use a food mill for this. After pealing the chilies, chop them up and add to the food mill with a medium plate. Reserve the seeds.
• Add the reserved seeds, stems and peels to the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Simmer for ~ 20 minutes to infuse with the chili flavor and heat. Strain out the seeds and stems.
• Chop the onion and garlic and sweat (add 1 tsp salt here) over medium heat for ~10 minutes, until soft. Pulse the onions in a blender a couple of times (or use the food mill if you have it out already) until slightly smooth but still a little chunky.
• If you are doing the chopped tomatoes yourself, blanch the tomatoes for a couple of minutes in boiling water, transfer to ice water bath, peel and chop (or use the food mill again).
• In a saucepan, heat the oil, add the flour and stir for a minute or so to form a roux. The roux should get to a golden brown. Add the stock to the pan and whisk to prevent any clumps of flour. Add all remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, and simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the liquid has reduced by half, about 30 minutes or so. Taste halfway through and add salt to taste.
• It's ready to serve, but I like to let it cool and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to come together.

Steps:

• Put all ingredients, except salt and lime juice, in a large kettle and bring to a light boil.
• Cook for 30 minutes.
• Strain liquid into a large bowl.
• Place solid ingredients in a blender.
• Add 1/2 of the strained liquid (about 3 cups) and blend until smooth.
• You may have to do this in batches.
• Add the lime juice and salt and blend for 30 seconds.
• Chill and serve.

Steps:

• Cook the onion in oil in a heavy saucepan until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, then stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
• Add the chiles, then whisk in the stock and the seasonings.
• Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 15 minutes until thickened but still pourable.
• May keep refrigerated for up to 5 days; freezes well.

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place peppers with cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins; chop peppers into smaller pieces.
• Place cubed pork in a resealable plastic bag; coat with flour, 2 tablespoons salt, and 2 tablespoons pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook pork in the hot oil until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a slow cooker set to High.
• Add the Hatch chiles, remaining salt and pepper, chicken stock, diced tomatoes with peppers, onion, cumin, and garlic to the slow cooker. Mix and cover. Cook on High until pork is tender and flavors blend, about 4 hours.

Steps:

• In heavy-bottomed sauce pan, saute onions in corn oil until they begin to brown.
• Add garlic and cook another 2 minutes.
• Stir flour in with onions and garlic so that it thickens.
• Add chopped chilies, beef broth and salt and mix well.
• Bring to a boil and simmer 10 to 15 minutes to allow mixture to reduce.
• The sauce should be thick enough to bind chilies and onions together.
• Sauce can be refrigerated for three days, or frozen.
