GREEN CHILE NEW MEXICAN STYLE

Steps:

• Heat oil and add onion. Cook about 5 minutes and add garlic.
• Cook another minute and stir in flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes stirring so flour doesn't burn and also so that it cooks and you don't get a floury taste.
• Add chilies. Pour in stock and seasonings. Taste for salt and adjust if necessary.
• Bring to boil over medium heat and cook for about 15 to 30 minutes on a low simmer covered.
• If you want it thicker add more broth or water. This can cook for longer if you want your chile a softer texture.

TOMASITA'S GREEN CHILE

Steps:

• Put the New Mexico green chile in a large saucepan over medium heat. Do not let boil.
• Make a roux. Put the oil in a saucepan, over medium heat, heat up slightly, add the flour and stir constantly. The flour should get toasted and brown, but do not burn it, about 5 minutes.
• Drizzle the roux into the green chile and mix to combine. This will make it thicker and change the color slightly, but it should not get white in color. The chile and liquid should just look darker and less bright that the green chile without any roux. Add enough roux and water to get the chile to the right consistency, which should be like gravy. You may not use all the roux.
• Add the garlic and salt. Leave the chile in the pot to simmer for 20 minutes, stirring regularly. Do NOT bring it to a boil, as that may burn the flour in the roux. Add more salt and garlic if needed and serve.
