New Mexican Style Green Chile Sauce (no pork!)
An authentic favorite from the American Southwest, this New Mexican Style Green Chile Sauce goes great on just about anything!
Ingredients
- 2 white onions
- 1.5 lbs roasted, peeled Hatch green chiles (about 18-22 chiles)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2.5 tbsp minced garlic (about 8 cloves)
- 1/4 cup gold tequila (1 airplane bottle or 50 ml)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tsp cumin
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Roughly chop both white onions and all (roasted and peeled) Hatch green chiles. Divide chiles into two equal piles. Heat olive oil over medium-low heat in a large stock pot.
- Add onions to pot and cook until they've broken down somewhat and are beginning to turn golden brown, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Add minced garlic and cook for 2-3 more minutes, stirring a few times to keep everything from sticking and burning.
- Add half of the chopped green chile and simmer for another 10 or so minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add gold tequila and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add the remaining Hatch chiles, chicken broth, cumin and salt. Simmer for another 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool somewhat. Ladle half of the green chile mixture into a blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour the blended green chile sauce back into the stock pot and stir to combine. Serve!
