SHREDDED GREEN CHILE BEEF

Steps:

• Place onions and 3 tablespoons brown sugar in a 5- or 6-qt. slow cooker. Combine remaining brown sugar and the next 6 ingredients; coat beef with mixture., In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown beef, 1-2 minutes on each side. Transfer to slow cooker; pour enchilada sauce over beef. Cook, covered, on low until beef is tender, 7-9 hours. Remove beef; shred meat with 2 forks. Return to slow cooker; heat through. If desired, serve over potatoes.

ROASTED GREEN CHILES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Begin by preparing your heat source. You will need something extremely hot to char the chiles with. An open flame-such as a grill-is best, but you can also roast them in a hot pan or under a broiler.
• Turn up the heat and begin roasting chiles by turning them frequently over heat source. Roast them until the skins are blackened and blistering.
• The skins do not need to be solid black, just blackened in areas and the rest of the skin should appear loosened and browned.
• It should take about 10 minutes over an open flame or in a broiler, and 15 to 20 minutes if you roast them in a pan.
• Once skin is thoroughly charred, remove chiles from heat source and place in a bowl.
• Cover bowl loosely to allow hot roasted chiles to create steam. You can cover bowl with aluminum foil, a lid, or a dishtowel.
• Let chiles steam for about 10 minutes. This helps to loosen skins even more, but this step can be skipped if time is of the essence.
• When chiles have cooled enough to where you can touch them, begin peeling off the skin. It should peel off easily, but if it is being stubborn, you can run the chile under warm water while peeling. This will remove some of the chiles flavorful oils and should only be done if the skin is hard to remove.
• If you are using green chiles for rellenos (stuffed chiles), use a knife to cut a 2-inch slit from stem and down side and use a spoon to carefully scoop out seeds. Roasted chiles tear very easily, so go slowly and take your time.
• If using the chiles for anything else, you can cut off stem portion and slit remaining chile down the entire side to open it up.
• Use a spoon to scrape off seeds. Discard seeds and stems and use roasted green chile in your recipe.

GREEN PORK CHILI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, toss the onions, tomatillos, jalapenos, and garlic with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and spread on a baking sheet. Roast until soft and starting to brown, about 20 to 30 minutes, stirring twice during roasting.
• Meanwhile, in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the oil and heat. Brown the pork, in batches, until well-browned. When browned, add all of the pork back to the pan and cover with chicken stock. Add the roasted vegetables, cover the pan and place in the oven. Cook until the pork is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
• While pork is cooking, place the cilantro in a food processor. Add 2 tablespoons of water and puree. Remove the pork from the oven and stir in the cilantro puree. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve with warm flour tortillas.

CHUCK ROAST CHILI

Steps:

• Remove fat and ligaments from chuck roast and cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add cubed roast. Cook and stir until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Transfer meat to a bowl and set aside.
• Return pot to medium heat. Add remaining oil and vinegar, scraping up any bits at the bottom of the pot. Add onion and bell peppers and cook until onion is translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add stock and water. Add diced tomatoes, light kidney beans, dark kidney beans, brown sugar, tomato paste, chili powder, barbecue sauce, ketchup, garlic, cumin, hot sauce, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Bring chili to a simmer, about 5 minutes.
• Cover pot and simmer 2 to 4 hours.

GREEN CHILI

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or soup kettle, cook ground beef with onion until the beef is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomatoes, green chilies, potatoes, water and salt. Simmer, uncovered, 45 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

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.
