The Adventure

This blog started as a way to share new recipes with friends and family from a challenge started in April. I was so tired of cooking the same things over and over again and wanted to get excited about cooking again. So, I grabbed several of my cookbooks and picked 25 new recipes to try in the month of April. It was fantastic! So fantastic in fact, that I've continued it since then. I try fewer new recipes evey other month though because I like to recook some of the other "new" recipes. I'm so happy to be excited about cooking again! I hope you enjoy the recipes below and I'm still looking for new ones next month if you have a good one you want to share!

New Mexico Green Chili

Total Time: 1.5 hours
Servings: 8

4 poblano chilles or 2 green peppers
1 T. olive oil
1 large onion, cut in1/4 inch pieces
2 jalapeno chiles, seeded and minced
3 garlic cloves, crushed with a garlic press
1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1 t. ground cumin
3/4 t. salt
2 pounds tomatillos, husked, rinsed & cut into quarters
1 can vegetable broth
2 cans white kidney beans (cannellini), rinsed & drained

1. Preheat broiler. Line broiling pan with foil. Cut each pepper length-wise in half; remove and discard stems and seeds. With hand, latten each pepper half. Arrange peppers, cut side down, in prepared broiler pan. Place pan in broiler at closest position to heat source. Broil peppers until skin is charred and blistered, about 10 minutes. Wrap peppers with foil and allow to steam at room temperature until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Remove peppers from foil. Peel off skin and discard. Cut peppers into 1-inch pieces.

2. In 6-qt Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Add onion, jalapenos, garlic, cilantro, cumin, and salt and cook 5 minutes.

3. Stir in tomatillos, broth, and roasted peppers; heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer until tomatillos are tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in baens and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes longer.


My notes: I've been wanting to cook green chili for a long time. It was so much easier than expected. Next time, I'm going to make a Colorado Green Chili recipe with meat though!
