HOW TO PREPARE A FRESH GREEN CHILI

Steps:

• Rinse and drain chilies.
• Make a steam vent in each by using a toothpick or an ice pick.
• Place chilies on a foil-covered cookie sheet and set it 4 to 6 inches below the broiler unit.
• Roast chilies, turning them frequently until they are uniformly blistered.
• Remove chilies from oven, place in a bowl and cover with a cold, damp towel (to steam them) for 10 minutes.
• Starting at stem end, peel the outer skin downward. Remove the stem and the seeds, if desired. If preparing chili for rellenos (stuffing), the stem end should be left intact.
• The chili is now ready for freezing or to use in any recipe.
• Green chilies may be frozen after the skins are blistered and before peeling. The skins slip off quite easily when the chilies are thawed.

GREEN CHILI

Steps:

• In a fairly large soup pot, heat olive oil.
• Sautee garlic until golden, then add onion.
• Sautee until it begins to become translucent, then add pork.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• Cook over fairly high heat, until pork browns, then add cumin, lower heat to medium, and cook meat through.
• Add all remaining ingredients.
• Bring to a boil, and let boil 10 minutes or so, then cover, and reduce heat to low.
• Cook at least 1 hour on low, and up to 3, depending on how thick you like your chili, stirring occasionally.
• Serve with grated colby-jack cheese and a big dollop of sour cream, chopped green onions or cilantro, and tortilla chips!
• Note:Any other kind of meat could easily be substituted--chicken, turkey, beef, whatever appeals to you!
