Green Chile recipe request, maidwga@...

[Guest guest]

Maida, I'm curious. Are you trying to make green chile stew or green chile

sauce?

Here is my recipe for green chile sauce (I'm converting it from restaurant

version here, so watch your quantities, and judge them for yourself!)

 

GREEN CHILE SAUCE

 

Saute together in oil:

 

1 Yellow Onion, chopped

1 Green Bell Pepper, chopped

approx 2 tbls (?) Garlic, finely chopped

(I like a LOT of garlic!)

 

When translucent, add:

 

1 tbls coriander powder

1-1/2 tsp cumin powder

1/2 tsp whole oregano

1/2 tsp white pepper

1# green chile, chopped

3 pints of water

Salt, to taste

 

Cook together for 30 minutes.

Make a roux, preferably using ghee and flour

another method is to use arrowroot and water, but the ghee or butter calms

the heat of the chiles if they are too hot.

 

Add roux to chile mixture, tablespoon by tablespoon, until sauce is at

desired consistency.

 

Now, lets talk about green chile stew:

Traditionally it is made with pork, although I have seen ground beef used,

as well as ground turkey. Using your own homemade vegetable stock is the best

vegetarian alternative I have found.

 

I don't add TVP or tofu, but I have some on hand, so I might try it in a few

days. I would say with TVP to add it with the vegetables, depending on it's

freshness, and how long it needs to cook. You can always add it the last half

hour the stew is cooking, if it is very fresh (you don't want it to fall

apart and dissolve).

 

Take the basic green chile sauce recipe above, and do not thicken. Use

vegetable stock in place of water. Add diced potatoes, whole kernel corn, and

cooked pintos. Add some canned stewed tomatoes. Add more water or stock as

needed

to get to the desired consistency, letting the stew cook until the

vegetables are done.

Enjoy!

Looking for a recipe - vegan version of green chili

 

I just saw a recipe posted on a list for saving money - with pork and

beef. Does anyone have a replacement with TVP or tofu. I tried to make

it vegetarian style once and it was a disaster.

When you say 'green chile', what kind of chiles are you referring to?
