I have a couple bags of frozen hatch that I want to start using. I have a great chicken tortilla soup recipe that I've used them in but looking for other ideas.
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 to 3 tsp. minced garlic
2/3 cup roasted, peeled, diced Anaheim green chiles
2/3 cup roasted, peeled diced Hatch chiles, defrosted if frozen
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
11/2 cups chicken broth
3/4 tsp. dried Mexican oregano; see cook's notes
Optional to use as needed: beurre manié made with 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour mixed with 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
Salt if needed
Heat oil in Dutch oven or large saucepan on medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook about 1 minute. Add chiles, pepper and chicken broth. Rub oregano between your hands and let it drop into mixture. Bring to boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 15 minutes.If sauce is too thin, stir in about a teaspoon of beurre manié.
Cook 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Taste and add salt as needed. Yields about 21/2 cups.
Dice up roasted green chiles, onions, garlic, roasted tomatillos (must roast them ahead of time). Put it all in a pot and add a bit of chicken broth. Add cumin, salt, pepper. Cook until it's a nice thick sauce.
Freeze in bags. Take out and serve hot over anything...eggs, enchiladas, etc. This stuff will last all year...or until it's gone!
