CAST-IRON HOME FRIES WITH ROASTED GREEN CHILES, CILANTRO, GREEN ONIONS, RADICCHIO, AND CREAMY GARLIC DRESSING

Steps:

• For the dressing: Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard and garlic in a bowl and season with salt and black pepper. Let sit while the potatoes boil to allow the flavors to meld.
• For the salad: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Toss the poblanos with a few tablespoons of canola oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Put the poblanos on a baking sheet and roast until the skin is blackened on all sides, turning a few times, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and immediately cover with plastic wrap. Let sit and steam for at least 15 minutes and up to a few hours. Transfer to a cutting board and remove the skin and seeds. Thinly slice the poblanos and set aside.
• While the chiles are roasting, put the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover by 2 inches of cold water. Add 2 tablespoons salt to the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until a skewer or paring knife inserted into the center of the potatoes meets no resistance, about 25 minutes (depending on the size of the potatoes). Drain and let cool for at least 5 minutes on a cutting board. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch dice.
• Heat 3 tablespoons canola oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Add the potatoes in a single layer and cook, pressing firmly with a spatula, until a crust has formed on the bottom. Gently turn them and cook until all sides are golden brown and crisp, adding more oil if needed. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl, and then add the chiles, radicchio and dressing and stir gently to combine. Fold in the cilantro and green onions and serve warm or at room temperature.

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.
