Green Chile Cornbread Skillet With Crispy Pork And Spicy Honey Butter Recipes

GREEN CHILE PORK CORNBREAD SKILLET

Steps:

• Instructions Heat the oven to 400 F. Crisp the pork in an 8 or 9-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat until nice and hot. Remove from heat and spread the green chile evenly over the meat. Combine the cornmeal mix oil, cheese, and milk in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk with a fork until smooth, adding enough milk to make a creamy pourable batter. Pour the batter evenly over the green chile. Bake about 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Makes 6 servings.

CHEESY GREEN CHILE CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Generously coat a 9-inch square baking dish or 9-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray. Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
• Whisk together the milk, sour cream, butter and egg in a medium bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Fold in the onions, green chiles and cheese.
• Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake until the cornbread springs back when pressed in the center, 25 to 35 minutes. Let cool in the baking dish for about 15 minutes. Loosen the edges, then slice into wedges or squares and serve warm or at room temperature.

PORK AND GREEN CHILE STEW

Steps:

• Place pork butt, yellow onions, cumin, bay leaves, Mexican oregano, salt, black peppercorns and cayenne in a large saucepan and cover with water by 1-inch. Bring to a boil.
• Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 45 minutes, skimming the surface to remove any scum that forms. Drain in a colander.
• Shred the drained pork and return to the pot. Add the Chile Verde and stir well. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, and cook until heated through. Serve hot with tortillas and other desired condiments.
• Roast the peppers by placing them on an open gas flame, turning them frequently with tongs until all sides are charred black, about 7 to 10 minutes. (Alternately, the peppers can be roasted under a broiler, or on top of a gas or charcoal grill.) Place the blackened peppers in a plastic or paper bag, and let rest until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Peel the peppers, and remove the seeds and the stems. Chop the peppers and set aside.
• In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, jalapenos, oregano, salt, and cumin, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the flour and cook, stirring, without allowing to color, for 2 minutes. Add the chopped peppers, and stir well to combine. Add the chicken stock, stir well, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
• Remove the chile verde from the heat, add the cilantro, and adjust seasoning, to taste.

SPICY CORNBREAD WITH GREEN CHILES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Butter a 12-cup muffin pan. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and pepper. Make a well in the center of the mixture and add the egg, buttermilk, oil, corn, chiles and cayenne. Whisking from the center, combine the ingredients into a loose and slightly lumpy batter. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups, place a chile stem end upright in the top of each muffin and bake for 15 minutes, or until the muffins begin to pull away from the sides of the pan. Place the pan on a rack to cool for about 10 minutes, and serve warm or at room temperature.
