Best 4 Green Chili From The Denver Post Recipes

OLD FASHIONED COLORADO GREEN CHILI

Steps:

• Brown pork in skillet with garlic and pepper. Add flour and brown as well.
• In crock pot, mix pork, garlic, tomatoes, water, green chiles and onion. Simmer for at least 2 hours. Water can be added to thin down and flour can be added to thicken.
• (You can also cook it in a large pot on the stove at low heat.)
• Hint: Let simmer at least an hour before tasting and modifying by adding chiles, more tomatoes, garlic, etc.
• This is a very meaty, very slightly thickened chili - thin for Colorado style chili. If you like really thick chili, use 4-5 tbsp. flour rather than 3 and/or reduce the water.

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; spread Hatch chile peppers on top.
• Cook under the preheated broiler, turning once, until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and seal tightly with plastic wrap. Let cool, about 20 minutes. Peel and seed peppers; dice flesh.
• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in diced chile peppers and tomatoes. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour into the pot.
