New Mex Green Chili
Chop an onion and as many cloves of garlic as you like (6 is good forme). Saute in a smidgen of olive oil. Cut about a pound of fresh pork
and about a pound of chicken or turkey breast into a coarse dice. Add
and fry until no longer pink.
Take about 3 pounds or so of long green Hatch chiles, or Anaheims if
you can't find Hatch chiles. Roast, peel and seed. Chop, and add to
the meat.
Flavor with about a tablespoon of cumin (or three, if you're like me and
adore cumin) and about a tablespoon of chile powder (freshly ground, if
you have dried chiles laying around). Add a couple fresh tomatoes, peeled
and choped and about two cups water. Simmer for a couple hours.
If it needs thickening, try thickening with mashed pototes, or a little
bit of flour or cornstarch mixed with water, or a litle bit of masa
(I like the mashed potatoes). If this isn't hot enough, or if you've
gotten mild chiles, you can spice it up with a jalapeno or two or a
serrano or two. Don't use canned chiles, only fresh.
Done.
