- hi - i've been working on creating a good green chili stew for a while
- now. i finally did it! it turned out great! this was inspired by
- some that i had last Christmas at Jemez Pueblo. it is a traditional
- new mexican dish.
-
- Serves 4-6 (depends on appetite)
- Cooking time: 1 - 1 1/2 hours
- serve with rice, and/or bread, and/or (fresh!) tortillas and butter,
- and/or sopapillas and honey, and/or chips and salsa/guacamole.
-
- 4 small cans diced green chiles
- i recommend 2 hot and 2 mild to get a good noserun while eating.
- 4 mild to be slightly hot
- all hot to be volcanic, of course.
- (you can of course also use the same amount, but frozen or fresh
- roasted)
- 1 lb. finely ground turkey
- 1 small zucchini, thinly sliced
- 1 cup frozen corn (off the cob)
- 14 oz. canned peeled tomatoes, with juice.
- 24 oz. water
- 4-6 garlic cloves, minced (depends on your taste, and the clove size)
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
-
- Note: i make no bones about this being full of fat and salt.
-
- 1. Brown the ground turkey. just before it is done, add the garlic
- and saute it with the meat. Then put this into a large saucepan
- or dutch oven. I did not drain the fat off - i think this is
- part of what made it taste so good. besides, if it weren't a
- bit greasy, it wouldn't be authentic. :)
- 2. Turn on heat to medium high and add tomatoes + juice. use a spatula
- or something to cut up the tomatoes in the pan. then add the rest
- of the vegetables, the chiles, the water, and the seasoning.
- 3. Bring to a boil, then turn heat down and cook until zucchini becomes
- soft. Spoon into bowls and eat.
-
- as with many things, this is also better the next day.
-
- please let me know what you think if you try it.
