Directions: |
Directions:Throw peppers on grill or gas burner to ‘char’ until skin is black, put in paper bag to steam, remove skin while wearing latex gloves.
Chunk tomatoes, peppers and onions into 1/2 inch chunks. Add jalapenos Put veggies a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper and roast in 500 degree oven until a little charred and soft, turning once or twice.
Ancho chili seasoning: Buy a bag of dried ancho chilis (dried pasillo chiles) Pull off stems, break apart and take out as many seeds as possible but don’t worry too much. Take 2-3 dried chiles, put in blender, pour boiling water over dried chiles....let them soak as until pretty soft. Take chiles out and take stem off.. Remaining seeds are okay. Add an ice cube to cool. Blend into a puree. This is the secret! Rich and mild and wonderful as the seasoning! Also add a couple of chiles in adobo. Freeze remaining adobo for another recipe.
In a chili pot, add a little olive oil. Heat to medium. Add about 6 cloves minced garlic, one diced onion, sauté until golden. Take out. Brown 1 pound ground pork (or chicken, turkey, beef). Add onions and garlic back in. Add 1 can large can of diced canned tomatoes (if you didn’t include tomatoes in the roasted veggies)...or add ALL THE ROASTED VEGGIES. Add 2 cups chicken stock...Add two cans of drained black beans.
Seasoning: Add chopped green chiles to taste. I did about 2 little cans of chopped green chiles, add chopped jalapenos to taste, chili powder to taste. Add half of the ancho mixture.
Let it all simmer a bit to meld then just adjust. Add more jalapeno, ancho mixture, broth, chili powder, salt, pepper. I sometimes add fresh corn in summer.
