Green Chile - From The Range Cafe
Recipe By: Raven
Published in: The Range Cafe - Santa Fe

Ingredients

	 		
	1 1/2	pounds	mild green New Mexico chiles* -- roasted, peeled, seeded  
and
	 		chopped to measure 2 cups
	3/4	pounds	hot green New Mexico chiles -- roasted, peeled, seeded and
	 		chopped to measure 1 cup
	4	cup	chicken stock
	2/3	cup	white onion -- diced
	1/2	teaspoons	ground cumin
	6	clove	garlic -- minced
	1 1/2	teaspoons	kosher salt
	2	tablespoons	lard
	3	tablespoons	all-purpose flour

Instructions

Place all ingredients except the lard and flour in a large saucepan  
over medium heat. Simmer uncovered, stirring frequently until juice  
has thickened, about 20 to 30 minutes.

Make a roux with the lard and flour and brown slightly in a saucepan  
over medium heat.

Add 1/2 cup of the green chile mixture to the roux and whisk
thoroughly. Add the roux to the remaining chile mixture and cook over  
low heat until the sauce thickens and the flour taste disappears,  
about 15 minutes. Adjust salt to taste.

* may use all hot chiles if desired

Green Chile Stew from Raven
Recipe By: Raven from FoodWine

Ingredients

	3	-4	pounds pork stew meat
	10	tomatillos,	husked and chopped
	6	cloves	garlic chopped
	 		olive oil
	1	onion	chopped
	5	jalapenos	(or serranos if it's just me)
	2	roma	tomatoes roasted
	2	potatoes	cubed (don't always use them)
	 		beef stock to cover(trick I learned from the fabulous Della)

Instructions

Sometimes I will puree half the tomatillos with some of the onion.
Sometimes not. Note that I don't use soap-weed (cilantro), but will
sometimes put some parsley in.

I often brown the meat and then throw everything into the slow cooker
so it's ready when I get home in the evening.
