Traditional-Style New Mexico Green Chile Sauce image

Every New Mexican cook has a green chile sauce, but it has to be very good sauce, or her reputation as a good cook suffers. They serve this sauce at any meal. At breakfast it is served over eggs or potatoes. It is used over burritos, in enchiladas, or over grilled meats and roasted potatoes for lunch or dinner. It is best when it is fresh or used within one day of being made. This recipe comes from Sandy Szwarc's "Real New Mexico Chile".

Categories     condiment

Time 1h55m

Yield about 8 cups

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
10 tomatillos, husked and rinsed under cool water
10 tomatillos, husked and rinsed under cool water

1 medium-ripe pear, peeled and cored
One 14-ounce can green chiles
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, tough ends discarded

Transfer the blanched tomatillos to the food processor bowl with the poblano puree, add the cooled onion, pears, green chiles, cilantro, and white pepper and process until smooth.

Chicken Enchilada Casserole in Green Chile and Sour Cream Sauce image

Not the most "healthy" recipe, but it's very tasty! Very creamy and rich enchilada chicken casserole. If you prefer the more traditional rolled enchiladas, all you have to do is place the chicken and sauce mix (approx 3 Tbsp) in the center of each corn tortilla, roll, and place in casserole dish with the seam side down...then cover the rolls with remaining sauce and cheese. I was feeling lazy, so I did it casserole style.

STACKED CAULIFLOWER ENCHILADA WITH GREEN CHILE SAUCE



Stacked Cauliflower Enchilada With Green Chile Sauce image

This recipe sounds so interesting to me that I decided to post it. If cauliflower can be prepared like mashed potatoes, then why not an enchilada! This recipe is designed for the slow cooker and comes from The Gourmet Vegetarian Slow Cooker cookbook. Note: You can vary the type of vegetables according to the season and what's in your garden or market at any given time. The recipe states that this dish is even better as leftovers.

Provided by DailyInspiration

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 5h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 head cauliflower
1 white onion, cut vertically into 8 pieces
1 cup black california olive, pitted and sliced
2 tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
6 -9 corn tortillas
1/2 lb smoked cheddar cheese (or regular cheddar or Monterey Jack)
1 (28 ounce) can green enchilada sauce
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Trim and core the cauliflower, then wash and slice the head vertically (you will be placing it in layers in the casserole, so you want the pieces fairly thin). Pull the onion layers apart. In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, onion, olives, tomatoes and beans using your hands.
  • Oil the inside of the slow cooker insert. Place 2-3 overlapping tortillas in the bottom of the insert. Add a layer of half the mixed vegetables and top it with a generous sprinkling of cheese (about one-third of the cheese). Pour 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce over the layer.
  • Add another layer of tortillas, then the remaining vegetables and another one-third of the cheese. Pour on another 1/2 cup of sauce. Finish with an additional layer of tortillas and the remaining 2 1/2 cups sauce. (Even though you may appear to have an excess of sauce, much of it is absorbed into the tortillas and vegetables as they cook.).
  • Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours, or until the cauliflower is tender. Top the casserole with the remaining cheese, cover, and cook an additional 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
  • Turn off the heat and allow the contents of the insert to sit for 10-15 minutes to set, then carefully scoop up generous individual servings of the enchilada into bowls. Top each serving with a sprinkle of cilantro and a dollop of sour cream.

Tips

  • For a milder sauce, use less green chiles and more tomatillos. You can also remove the seeds from the chiles before roasting them.
  • If you want a spicier sauce, use more green chiles and fewer tomatillos. You can also roast the chiles for a longer period of time.
  • To add a smoky flavor to the sauce, roast the tomatillos and green chiles directly over an open flame. You can also use a grill or a broiler.
  • If you don't have time to roast the tomatillos and green chiles, you can use canned diced tomatoes and green chiles. However, the flavor of the sauce will not be as rich.
  • Green chile sauce can be used as a dip, a marinade, or a sauce for enchiladas, tacos, and burritos. It can also be used as a topping for nachos or tortilla soup.
