Chile Verde Guacamole Recipes

CHILE VERDE GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Place the Anaheim chile on a small baking sheet covered with aluminum foil. Roast it under the broiler, flipping a couple times, until the chile is wilted and its skin is completely charred and wrinkly, 9 to 12 minutes. (Alternatively, you can char the chile directly on a hot comal or a cast-iron pan set over medium heat, or on a grill set to high.)
• Place the charred Anaheim chile in a plastic bag and close it well. Let it steam and sweat for 5 to 10 minutes.
• As the Anaheim chile steams, add the serrano chile, onion, cilantro and salt in a bowl or molcajete, and mash until combined. Add the avocado and continue to mix and mash until you form a chunky purée.
• Once it is cool enough to handle, remove the Anaheim chile from the bag, slip off the charred skin, make a slit down the side and remove the seeds and stem. You could rinse the chile under a thin stream of water, to help remove the seeds, or rinse it off by dipping it into a bowl of water.
• Finely chop the Anaheim chile. Add it to the avocado mixture, and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt.

VERDE CHILAQUILES

Steps:

• Place tomatillos in a saucepan with water to cover; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until color begins to lighten and fruit is soft to the touch, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Transfer tomatillos to a food processor or blender. Add jalapenos, 1/3 cup cilantro, garlic, salt, and pepper; blend until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours for best flavor.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir chicken and onion until onions begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Add olives; cook for 5 minutes. Add cilantro; cook and stir until wilted, about 1 minute more. Remove from heat.
• Line the bottom of a 8-inch square casserole dish with 2 to 3 layers of tortilla chips, breaking chips slightly. Add half of the sauce; toss with chips. Top with chicken mixture and the remaining sauce. Sprinkle cotija cheese on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tortilla chips are softened, 15 to 25 minutes.

EASY LA VICTORIA CHILE VERDE

Steps:

• Cut pork into 1/2-inch cubes; season cubes with salt and pepper.
• In a large, heavy pan with lid, brown the cubes well in oil and melted butter.
• Add the onion and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes, then drain the fat from the pan.
• Add the remaining ingredients, cover, and simmer for at least 90 minutes, stirring frequently; add more water (or broth or beer) during cooking if necessary to achieve desired sauce texture.
• Makes 4 to 6 servings.

COLORADO GREEN CHILI (CHILE VERDE)

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.

GUACAMOLE CON CHILE

GRANDMA'S CHILE VERDE

Steps:

• Cut pork in medium size chunks. Brown in olive oil.
• When pork liquid is gone, coat with the flour and stir up with a fork (like when you are making a gravy).
• Pour the water over pork, add all ingredients (salt, cumin, and jalapenos to taste). Stir to make sure everthing is well mixed. Cook over medium heat until boiling, lower to simmer with lid on. Simmer until meat is tender, remove lid while simmering for less sauce.
