Have had a little break. Its always fun to have so many readers request more blogs........makes me realize people really are reading this! My green chili recipe is famous in my family and always a request from them when I am visiting. I got this recipe 30 years ago from a small restaurant on Point Loma in San Diego. I've revised it a bit but still the best I have ever eaten.
Brown 1 lb of hamburger and 1 lb of ground pork and 1 sirloin steak cut into cubes, in a big pot. Remove after browned and place in a bowl while you continue.
Melt 1/2 stick of butter in the same pot and all 1 chopped onion, a couple cloves of garlic.......saute until both are soft.......remember don't burn your garlic.
Now dump in your browned meats and 3/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tsp Mexican dried oregano, 1 Tlsp cumin, at least 1 Tblsp Tabasco, 1 tsp pepper, 2 Tblsp flour and 1 1/2 tsp salt.......blend this all tog real well.
Now dump in about 6 to 8 cups of chicken broth.......depending on how much you are making.
3/4 cup Mexican beer........drink the rest.....2 small tomatoes chopped and 4 lbs of pablano peppers that you have toasted, seeded and chopped. IF you are lucky enough to live where you can buy specialty foods........you can find canned pablanos that are ready to go. IF not, you buy the fresh ones, put on a cookie sheet under the broiler, blacken well on all sides, remove and place in a large zip lock bag for 20 minutes......then hold one at a time under cold running water and slip the skin off and take our the seeds. IF you absolutely want to, you may substitute canned Anaheim's for the pablanos........it works. Just must use several large (small) cans, four or more. Remember it is called green chili because it is predominately chili's. Chop your chilis into pieces about 1 to 2 inch square.
Simmer all of this for several hours.........Just before serving........take 3 Tblps flour and mash up with 3 Tblsp soft butter........gently stir this thickener into the chili and thats it!! ENJOY...Kwint!
