Description

This is my version of the Green Chile Sauce you’ll find smothering burritos (among other uses) at restaurants along the Colorado Front Range like Santiago’s, Consuelo’s and The Armadillo. You can adjust the heat by adding or leaving out the jalapeno peppers and seeds from the roasted peppers. Adapted from a recipe that Petradish posted on Chowhound back in 2005 to mimic Santiago’s.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • ½ pounds Ground Or Cubed Pork
  • ½  Onion, Diced
  • 1 teaspoon Minced Or Crushed Garlic
  • 2 dashes Ground Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Pepper
  • ½ teaspoons Oregano
  • 2 Tablespoons Flour
  • 2 cups Chicken Broth Or Prepared Boullion
  • 1 pound Roasted Chile Peppers (Hatch, Poblano, Or Anaheim) 1 Pound Is Roughly 6 Peppers, Chopped
  • 1  Jalapeno Pepper, Stem And Seeds Removed, Then Diced
  • 3  Roma Tomatoes, Chopped

Preparation

In a heavy pot over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Add pork, and brown it for about 2 minutes. Add onion, garlic, cumin, salt, pepper and oregano. Cook until the onion is softened but not brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and brown it a little. Stir in chicken broth until thoroughly mixed, scraping the browned goodness off the bottom of the pot. Add the peppers and tomato. Bring to a boil, then partially cover pot, lower heat to a simmer and cook 1 1/2-2 hours or until pork is tender and sauce is the right strength and thickness. Add water or broth or reducing it longer to correct the thickness. Taste for salt and pepper.
