Jeannes Chili Verde Recipes

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:

• 1. Season cubed meat with garlic salt and black pepper.
• 2. Place meat in large bowl and add flour. Mix until meat is coated with flour.
• 3. Add oil in a large stew pot and heat. Add meat and flour to hot oil and brown the meat on all sides.
• 4. Add chicken broth, salt and black pepper to taste. Be sure to use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan and stir this mixture well. Cover and simmer one hour over low heat.
• 5. Add the coriander, comino, diced green chilies and one coarse-chopped onion to meat along with enchilada sauce and a little water or chicken broth if needed. You want a gravy-like thickness to the broth. Cover and simmer another 1½ hours.
• 6. Add the garlic and the other coarse-chopped onion to the pot along with the diced potatoes. Add a little more water if needed, cover and simmer another ½ hour.
• 7. When meat is falling-apart tender, serve with sides of beans, Spanish rice and hot flour tortillas.

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:

• 1. Prepare pasta in boiling salted water until pasta is aldente (just under-done); drain (reserving @ 2 cups of liquid) and return it to the same large pot. Remove from heat until meat is cooked.
• 2. While pasta is cooking, break ground beef into pieces in a large skillet. Add onions, garlic, peppers, salt and pepper. Brown over med-low heat.
• 3. Drain off any excess grease and add the meat to the cooked pasta. Place the pot back onto a low burner. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, beans (do not drain), and all other spices. Gently stir thoroughly until combined.
• 4. Cover and simmer until thoroughly hot (@ 10 minutes). Adjust salt, pepper and other spices to suit your taste. If the mixture is too thick, add some of the starchy water from the macaroni to keep this from being too dry.
• 5. Serve in bowls topped with green onion and cheese. Great with crackers, tortilla chips, cornbread or cheesy garlic bread.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of pork; cook and stir until lightly browned. Remove and set aside. Repeat with remaining meat, adding more oil as needed. Return all of the meat to Dutch oven. , Sprinkle flour over meat; mix well. Add the chiles, cumin, salt, pepper, garlic, cilantro, salsa verde and broth. Cover and simmer until pork is tender and chili reaches desired consistency, about 1-1/2 hours. Serve with tortillas. Freeze option: Place individual portions of cooled chili in freezer containers and freeze. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally; add broth if necessary.
