They made Colorado Green Chili on Cook's Country (PBS) and it looked really good. My youngest is a chili fanatic, and we agree we would like to make it.

Any recipes, advice, comments on Colorado Green Chili. They used 2lbs of Anaheim peppers and 3 Jalapeno peppers, I have never eaten Anaheim peppers before, what is so distinctive about their taste ? Hotter ? Spicier ? More acidic ?

Thank you,

Lynn

Green Chili peppers have their own distinct flavor for sure but that also mostly comes from being roasted and than peeled.

I buy them in the fall when there are road side stands where they roast them over open flames in a drum. They smell wonderful and aromatic.

I usually buy a few bushels and vacuum pack and freeze, I leave the skin on and seeds in for storage.

If you can only get Anaheim peppers in raw form I would lightly coat them in oil and throw them on your grill until the skin is nice and dark. Let them cool a little and then peel them.

Coated with oil and under the broiler will work as well...just be sure to throw them in a plastic bag while cooling, this method really helps to remove the skins.

Also, Colorado Green Chile is a bit different than the green chile I usually make at home. For a good starting point for Pork Green Chile, try this recipe.

ETA: The recipe above is for New Mexican green chile stew and delicious.

The anaheims are a mild pepper, which allows you to use 2 lbs of them and still have a pot of chili that isn't going to burn you.

I have made it for years and I have posted the recipe previously. That said, we watched the same show and will be using their recipe tonight. I particularly liked their method of browning the meat.

Yes, I do too, that is the way we brown cubed meats for stews, ground meats for long simmering in sauces, and sausages for cassoulet.

Miss Lynn,

"Green Chili" & "leftovers" - those two terms are not compatible.

In the next town over, there is a little Mexican restaurant that makes the best green chili in the state - but only twice a week. Wednesdays for lunch and Saturday nights. I love it but having to stand in line to get some is a pain!

We have a dish out here called a 'slopper'. It's basically an open faced cheeseburger (or you can serve it 'closed'...with a bun on top) that's served with green chile smothering the burger. Then topped with some grated cheese and some avocado or guacamole on top. The green chile is made by cooking down some roasted green chile's, along with some pork, onions, and tomatoes. It's not a burger you eat with your bare hands either. A fork and a knife, and a spoon, are necessary to get it all done. Good stuff too...!

Miss Lynn,

In late October we should be in our new house in Omaha and if you will give me a call we will take you out for some very fine Baja style Mexican cuisine. The little place with the green chili is about 125 mile drive. frown

Unless things have changed since the late 60s there should be some good green grown in the Arkansas valley eat of Pueblo.

Dang the 60s, probably all subdivisions now, not farms.

Subdivisons have swallowed up much or the Rio valley in NM.

Last bunch we bought and processed was the last year that Tagami's raised on their farm south of Isleta Pueblo and they wen tout of the finest Big Jims I have ever peeled and eaten.

Yep sold to a subdivision.

I can see that looks like a winner.

I will have to dig out my Green Chili Venison stew recipe and post it here.

Requires Venison, beef does not work.
