SLOW BURN GREEN CHILI STEW



Slow Burn Green Chili Stew image

After waiting too long and not getting my whole order from a eatery here, I found that their raved about Green Chili Stew was no more than a flour and water concoction with GCs added. I vowed that I would figure out how to make a better version. This is the outcome. If you like a little kick in the back of your throat, this one's...

Provided by Christina Young

Categories     Other Soups

Time 4h50m

Number Of Ingredients 14

14 oz frozen green chilies
3 can(s) hatch green chilies (4 oz)
1 can(s) vegatable broth
1 1/2 c water to start, add as needed
4 carrots
2 small to med. sized potatoes
1 cube beef boullion
1 handful of corsely chopped garlic cloves
1 c dried onion pieces
1 Tbsp liquid smoke flavoring
1 ham bone or other meat bone you desire
1 lime, cut and juice (~1/4 cup)
1 tsp dried jalapenos
3/4 c bulgur wheat, uncooked (can be left out or substituted

Steps:

  • 1. In crock pot, toss in ham bone. I used one from my spiral cut ham that was cooked night before and frozen overnight.
  • 2. Dump in frozen green chilies straight from tub, if you can get it to pop out.
  • 3. Add dried onions. We love them, so 1 cup may seem like quite a bit. I promise that this will not be what you taste in the end. :)
  • 4. Add one and half cup of water and liquid smoke.
  • 5. Add the can of veg broth.
  • 6. Chop up the carrots. I didn't even peel these suckers. Sliced them up and tossed 'em in the pot.
  • 7. Clean up the 2 small- medium (depends on your taste, I didn't want them to take over with their consistency when blended). Chop potatoes into about 1/4" cubes. Not terribly important, will be blended. I didn't peel these either.
  • 8. Toss in cube of beef bouillon.
  • 9. Roll lime around a bit to make it juicy. Cut in half and squeeze into pot. Watch for seeds.
  • 10. Toss in the teaspoon of dried jalapenos, if you can handle them. The kind that I buy are kinda hot when simmered.
  • 11. Coarsely chop garlic cloves. We LOVE garlic, too, but use the amt makes you feel comfortable. I assure you that this also will not be what you taste in the end. :)
  • 12. I buy a large bag of peeled garlic cloves from Sam's. It's a lovely short-cut, but the garlic must be inspected for white spots when buying. Learned that the hard way.
  • 13. Set Crock pot for 3 hours at high. Mine has programming so I am able to also add 1 hour at low.
  • 14. Remove ham bone or other bones used.
  • 15. Scoop most of the hot stew into a blender or processor. Pulse until smooth. I left about a cup to two cups of stew in the crock so that there is a little chunky texture in the end. Add smooth mixture back to the crock pot. And set it for another couple hours.
  • 16. Add Bulgur Wheat or other grain.
  • 17. Dump in 3 cans of Hatch green chilies and stir pot up. I added an extra splash of water here.
  • 18. Allow pot to cook until grain is hydrated. This took mine less than half hour.
  • 19. I served the stew over Frito Corn Chips with cheese grated on top. To mine, I added the little bit of ham that cooked on the bone

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: For a milder stew, use poblano or Anaheim peppers. For a spicier stew, use serrano or jalapeño peppers. Remove the seeds and ribs for less heat.
  • Roast the peppers: Roasting the peppers intensifies their flavor. Broil them in the oven or char them over a gas burner until the skins are blackened. Then, place them in a paper bag to steam for 15 minutes, making it easier to peel off the charred skin.
  • Sauté the aromatics: Sautéing onions, garlic, and cumin in oil adds depth of flavor to the stew. Cook them until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
  • Use a variety of beans: Using a mix of beans adds texture and flavor to the stew. Common choices include pinto beans, black beans, and kidney beans. Rinse and sort the beans before cooking.
  • Simmer the stew: Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes, or until the beans are tender and the flavors have melded. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Add toppings: Serve the stew with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, diced avocado, or chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

Green chili stew is a hearty, flavorful, and versatile dish that's perfect for a cold winter day. With its combination of roasted peppers, aromatic spices, and tender beans, this stew is sure to satisfy everyone at the table. Feel free to experiment with different types of peppers, beans, and toppings to create your own unique version of this classic stew.
